I think people who buy accidentally buy used CPUs may also get poorer quality thermal paste if their used CPU came with thermal paste.

Hopefully, most of the used CPU sellers, are giving people real paste instead of fake paste which is made from a homemade items like glue.

I think they might have come out with a fix this month, but a lot of the damage would be done with by now.

I watch a YouTube video that Intel may have money problems if they refund a lot of users.
