Got this Am5 cpu 6 months ago from a new asus prebuilt and been using it the whole time until now since i got a new cpu. Works well at multitasking and good for 1080p gaming. Smoke free/clean home. It does still have a little bit of thermal paste on the sides (see 4th picture) I will ship it safely in a box with plenty of bubble wrap and put inside a amd 7600x3d cpu box just to keep it extra safe
