They look and seem okay, I've yet to test them though. They are not completely matched, same stepping but from different FPOs and ATPOs. And while not thrilled how they were shipped, it was packed alright and sufficiently secure. The excess thermal paste on top and on the pads isn't great, but it isnt concerning, CPU harvesting isn't always a tidy process. For the price, I'm willing to take it, and they did get here extremely fast. So brownie points there
