    It doesn't hurt to ask

    I sold a cpu to CEX a while ago. They sniffed if to check whether it was burnt out... It smelt lemon fresh due to the TIM cleaner I used but yeah, not sure how thorough that check was!

    I have only sold something once and they just looked confused. Got 2x4gb 2666mhz ddr4 sticks for £2 at the weekend they were labelled as 3200mhz laptop memory. So I got a deal but not as good as I was expecting.

    Will put them to use. They do 3200mhz and no more so has some fun with them.
