Buy Used CPUs & Processors

Used CPUs & Processors deliver the same performance as new devices – at a fraction of the price. With us you save up to 60% compared to the RRP. All devices are manually tested 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 100% 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 from the very first euro.

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.

Every CPU goes through a full Prime95 stress test (30 minutes), temperature monitoring and a Cinebench benchmark. Results are compared against reference values. Only CPUs within tolerance are sold.
