Hello everyone, you are on the “My Old Computer” channel. In December 2020, I ordered a pair of processors for 775 socket from AliExpress. In the article I’ll tell you and show you what arrived and whether it’s worth ordering there. How much money did you spend on the order?

Delivery took about three weeks to Krasnodar; I already received the parcel on New Year’s holidays. The packaging is very simple, a bubble wrap bag. Processors in plastic boxes, wrapped in a soft substrate. This packaging is enough for the processors to arrive intact and safe. But the packaging will be the same if you order AMD processors, the structure of which is different. The legs are very fragile, one awkward movement and you can damage them. It’s easier with Intel processors; they are less susceptible to mechanical damage. Based on the practice of ordering AMD processors, all arrived without mechanical damage.

Thermal paste for the kit was not included in my package, although sometimes they include small amounts. I have never used it for its intended purpose, but I do not think that it is of poor quality. I read a lot of positive reviews. The process of unpacking and visual inspection of the processors was recorded in the video, which I attach at the end of the article.

There are many articles about the 775 socket on the channel, although it is already obsolete, it continues to “live”. Many people are critical of the fact that someone successfully uses the assembly on the 775 socket and is in no hurry to change anything. It all depends on the needs of the person; for a gamer this is a bad option, but for an ordinary user it is a good option. There is a normal selection of 4-core processors that can be purchased for a low price, up to 1000 rubles.

I ordered the Q6600 and Q8400, I usually buy them all the time, they have proven themselves over time. Spent 1306 rubles for two processors. I think in 2021 they will not lose their relevance and I will continue to place orders. I make budget builds on the 775 socket and sell them to the public through retail outlets. Demand has been and remains consistently good. Not everyone is ready to spend money on modern computer hardware.
