Buy Used CPUs & Processors

Used CPUs & Processors deliver the same performance as new devices – at a fraction of the price. All devices are checked and honestly classified as Grade A, Grade B or Grade C.

Grade A is nearly like new with minimal to no signs of use. Grade B shows light scratches or wear but is fully functional. Grade C has more visible signs of use but works fully – and is the most affordable.

On all CPUs & Processors we provide a 12-month statutory warranty under §476 BGB (German Civil Code). You also have a 14-day right of withdrawal. If technical issues arise, we help quickly and without hassle.

Orders placed on business days before 2 pm are shipped the same day. You'll typically receive your order within 1–2 business days – free shipping within Germany (rest of EU €14.95).

Yes, of course. We issue invoices with VAT shown separately. For larger quantities (5+ devices) we offer volume discounts. Just email us at info@tannenbaum-media.de.

Newer generations offer more IPC (instructions per clock) at the same core count and are more energy-efficient. A Core i5-12400 is much faster than an i5-8600 in almost all tasks – despite the same core count. We clearly state the generation for every CPU.

Many Intel CPUs come without a boxed cooler. We recommend an affordable tower cooler (Noctua NH-U12S or be quiet! Pure Rock 2) from ~€30. AMD boxed coolers are included where available.

We check the basic function of every CPU, and much is bought already tested from our suppliers. We deliberately do not run an exhaustive test on every single CPU. If a CPU does not work, you get your money back – plus a 12-month warranty.
