This CPU was purchased new. Comes in original packaging with fan. Don't let this i3 fool you, it may not be a titan but it packs a nifty little punch. I have used this CPU in my office / entry level gaming computer. It ran Windows 11 with my office suite, some Photoshop and married well with a GTX 1060 graphics card. (Ran Doom 2016 on ultra (2K) at 60+ fps for example). Other than that, it is a relatively efficient CPU, doesn't generate too much heat either. It's been a great CPU but have upgraded to meet my current computing demands and so it's time to entertain a new home!
