Old reliable
3 of 3 found this helpful 2nd generation Core i5. There is a reason Intel is having a hard time convincing owners of the Core i5 2500k and core i7 2600k to upgrade to the latest of their tech. These can still hold their own, especially when overclocked! The motherboards these operate in lack modern features, but otherwise, the performance of Sandy Bridge is still very decent. 4 cores, 4 threads, and coupled with a modern GPU like a GTX 1050 Ti, you have a very cost effective console smasher.

Core i3 2120 (untested) review
With any previously used, untested product, you are running a certain risk of it not functioning. But with things like RAM sticks, or processors (CPUs), the chances of it not working are rather low. More complex items, like motherboards or hard disk drives present a much greater risk. Installation is very straightforward: compatible with socket 1155 only. There are YouTube videos aplenty which teach you how to install a CPU into a given socket. This CPU replaced an Intel quad core i5. Basically a drop in replacement. The metal surface of the CPU showed signs of prior use, a bit of scuffing, nothing unusual. No dings, scratches or grooves on the heat spreader. The seller did a good job removing the TIM (thermal interface material). It was ready to go right out of the box. I put the Dell supplied HSF (heatsink & fan) back on and it booted right up. Works as it should.
