  • Pentium 4 3.2C processor

    daos was the Seller on June 3, 2004 AnandTech

    I purchased a pentium 4 3.2C processor from daos on May 20, 2004. Item was received on June 1, but the cpu was outside the plastic cover when I opened the box. The pins on multiple sections of the CPU were bent.

    I have msged daos regarding this issue and offered to either get some cash back if I were to attempt fixing it, or to ship it back to him for a refund at my cost. He refused, and believes because the plastic covering is rated for 3lbs of force to open, it can not be his fault. He thinks I could have somehow damaged the cpu in multisectors on the day of arrival while somehow leaving the thermal grease from his old vapochill unit untouched.

    You can view the pictures here http://www3.telus.net/public/xichen If you have any doubts to this issue you can ask me for msgs logs or more pictures of the cpu.


    Response from daos
    he could have very well bent the pins by opening the Intel retail hsf packaging incorrectly. thats why they have a \"How To\" on Intels website, because you can open it incorrectly, and it will fall on the ground and possibly bend pins. also, he very well could have tried to insert the chip in the incorrect fashion. not know its a ZIF socket, and applied too much force he bent the pins. there is countless ways it could have happened.

    he says that because the diaelectric grease is still intact, this proves that the pins were bent while being shipped, and that he didnt try to put the CPU in his board? i cannot understand that. the diaelectric grease is going to stay on the chip no matter if it goes in his board or not. if the grease didn\'t people would not use it for condensation protection while using phase change cooling. i know one thing though, when i shipped the CPU, it was a perfectly good CPU. i packaged it along with the retail hsf in the plastic container, and locked all four sides making sure that everything was nice and sealed. I also took the extra caution of packaging this retail CPU box in not one, but two boxes with extra bubble wrap since it was going internationaly.

    According to Intels website, i believe it takes somewhere in the range of 3lbs of force per side to open that platic container locks. this man claims that when he recieved the CPU, the processor had slipped out of the plastic container, and was in the bottom of the brown box with bent pins. sounds very fishy to me.

    i will agree to try and fix the CPU at his cost for shipping, but i refuse to refund any money since the CPU was shipped properly, packaged properly, and worked properly when it left my hands.

  • Sold him a BF3 CD Key, everything went fine at first, then a month later paypal told me his bank reversed the payment and took the money out of my account. He claims his GF did it and would later pay me back, which never happened and now he has stopped responding to PMs.

    He also claims some other family emergency has happened but since he has refused to respond to my PMs even though I know he's read them, i am leaving him a negative feedback.
