What is the difference between a computer's bulk CPU and a boxed CPU?

Generally speaking, the bulk of the CPU does not have a radiator and the package is a year, and the boxed CPU is with the radiator of the quality package is three years. From a technical point of view, there is no essential difference between bulk and boxed CPUs, at least in terms of quality. Theoretically, there is no gap in performance, stability, and overclocking potential between boxed and bulk products, but there are certain differences in warranty.

　　The difference between a bulk and a boxed

From a technical point of view, there is no essential difference between bulk and boxed CPUs, at least in terms of quality. For CPU manufacturers, their products can be divided into two categories according to the mode of supply, one supply to the brand machine manufacturers, and the other kind of supply to the retail market. For the retail market, most of the products are boxed products, and bulk products are partly from the brand-name machine manufacturers and agents of the sales strategy. Theoretically, there is no gap in performance, stability, and overclocking potential between boxed and bulk products, but there are certain differences in warranty.

Generally speaking, the boxed CPU warranty period is longer (usually three years), and with a good quality of the cooling fan, so often favored by the vast number of consumers. However, this does not mean that the bulk CPU does not have warranty, as long as the choice of reputable agents, generally can be a one-year general warranty time. In fact, the CPU does not exist the concept of warranty, at this time the warranty is tantamount to a change, so do not worry about the quality of the bulk of the warranty will have any moisture.

　　Second, the current situation of the CPU market-inquire the genuine boxed product

But things are not so simple. Increasingly rampant profiteers have even disdain the cost of remark, but simply directly to some bulk CPU with a strong glue on a fan, also called "Original authentic", and then just on the fan on the higher frequency of the CPU frequency can be, really simple! Will consumers take a look at the fan? Of course not. Unless your fan is broken, and you don't have the guts, because if you want to remove this stuck fan, the CPU is likely to lose its warranty, and it will cause physical damage as well.

In order to deceive the outside, some profiteers will also use other customers to leave the original fan and packaging, with its bulk products, is simply "seamless." There is no doubt that if the manufacturers do not take some necessary measures, then the average consumer is almost powerless.
