My impression is that he then re-sells these recent-mfg CPUs, on ebay, as "Intel 2016 CPU" or something like that.Regarding these late date older generation processors, I am assuming you want to want to combine this with new motherboard because you need reliable (over many years) 40+ hour per week usage.
Just received my new official 2016 (almost 2017) i3-2120 in the mail on Friday. Gorgeous... It will be paired with my new ASRock B75-Pro3-M board, which was made on August 2014, one of the last LGA1155 boards made. By 2016, there's only ECS H61H2-MV left.
I don't have any plans to upgrade to a newer Intel socket, only AMD. The fastest CPU it can take for this board is i7-3770. I also need an estimate when this will depreciate down to less than $20 shipped. Then when i7-4770 comes down to less than $20, I will move on to LGA1150 next, probably year 2023. Buy new board now, save it, buy CPU 5 years later. How hard is that.
I have at least 10 left to order on eBay, why would I resell them. I just purchased four new ECS H61H2-MV for $46 each after all eBay coupons and cashback apply from Ascendtech, same place where you got the FM1 boards. It's now $59.99 again.My impression is that he then re-sells these recent-mfg CPUs, on ebay, as "Intel 2016 CPU" or something like that
Sandy Bridge graphics install fine with Windows 10, but it doesn't have full-support. I'm still in pending mode (haven't installed yet), and I'm waiting for future listings if I can win a 2015 i3-3245 for $25 that people forgot to bid.P.S. If using with Windows 10 that Core i3 2120 won't have a graphics driver so I don't think the hardware decode will work. That means the CPU will have to be used whenever watching a video.
Yep, that's what I'm thinking as well.My impression is that he then re-sells these recent-mfg CPUs, on ebay, as "Intel 2016 CPU" or something like that.
Kind of like the sellers of "box PS4"... and then you just receive a box, for a PS4.
Why else would he repeatedly complain about unsatisfied buyers wanting to return his chips?
And why else would he have mentioned buying new old stock PCs, and then swapping CPUs to a lesser one?
Honestly, the only CPUs I ever resell are the Micro Center combos. FX-8320e all the time, A10-7700K, and i3-4370 previously. But I give up on what people say about me, and I learn to ignore them.Yep, that's what I'm thinking as well.

You could say the same about Taco Bell's depreciation rate, but then much like imitation Mexican food I don't buy it as an investment. You use it as needed and expel the waste when finished.As everyone can see, Intel's depreciation rate is never pretty. i5-4570 originally sold for $229.99. Buy at your own risk...
Unless he's a HS technology teacher?
So most of us are struggling to decide if you're for real and if so, what possible purpose you could have in buying multiple old low end processors that doesn't consist of trying to resell them.

I'm fully aware of that, but H61 boards have the newest manufactured date.And those boards have no SATA 6 Gbps or capability to use RAID.
That means the only choice is a single hard drive or SSD at 3 Gbps levels for OS.
That's correct. The boards are great price, I just want a cheaper CPU. I can't buy FX-4300 at Micro Center, only eBay.If I am not mistaken the method he is using (or planning to use) is buy CPU and motherboard combo at Micro Center and then immediately sell CPU.
FYI, I did buy one i3-2130 for $60 last year, but it already lost $30 in depreciation the next year. Worst CPU purchase I've made in my life, and my anger with Intel continues to grow. I'm trying to sell it for $37 if I'm lucky to find a buyer, and be done with it. Only $10 Sandy Bridge. This is my end of $30+ Intel purchase. I try to stay away looking at new Kaby Lakes as much as possible at Micro Center, as I know they will depreciate down to $10 anyways and mysteriously priced lower than FX-4300.
That's absolutely not true at all. Don't make me provide eBay proof if I decide to resell it for $169.99 shipped, and it will still sell. $84 means $79.99 plus tax, and this is the same price selling with new ASRock B250M-Pro4-M board. I'm not losing at all.
There's a big misunderstanding on what I do. I buy the older sockets only because they're more affordable and easier for me to install and use. I don't always like the slower speed in old sockets, of course. Certainly, I like all new stuff and love to own all new Kaby Lakes, but sometimes in life, I can't have everything in the world.

Wait 5 years and then buy late manufacture CPU to make into a CPU and motherboard combo again.
Then take this "new" CPU and motherboard combo and build into a PC for resale.
That's correct. The boards are great price, I just want a cheaper CPU. I can't buy FX-4300 at Micro Center, only eBay.
This is exactly what he's doing, that's the only reason he cares so much about the mfg date of items. It's a shame this scam actually seems to work for him.My impression is that he then re-sells these recent-mfg CPUs, on ebay, as "Intel 2016 CPU" or something like that.

unless you're using the manufacturer date to sell these as "new" systems.
That's true. I am so thankful that the DeskMini H110 units have a DP1.2 output, as well as HDMI1.4 and VGA. I am using it with a Club3D active adapter, to drive my 4K UHD TV at 60Hz. Although, with the Creator's Update, I can't get 4K60 YouTube VP9 videos to play at 60FPS any more. Now I'm wondering if I ever did, on these G4600 / HD 630 CPUs, or if I was always using a dGPU when I was watching 4K YouTube. (Was using my RX 460 initially, when I got my 4K displays, and a 7950 3GB card that would drive one at 30Hz.)P.S. Speaking of "basic use computer" one problem DIY has (vs. most pre-builts) is lack of display port. So that means when 4K monitors drop in price he would have to add a dGPU to just to use the monitor at 60 Hz.
