Very tempted by this myself but in case it helps anyone else, these prices are near £100 cheaper than anywhere else. The 6700k is cheaper than their listing for a regular 6700! I know its CEX but the processors come with a two year warranty!!
i5 6600k only £150 too - thanks hakamans

Good deal but I find it hard to buy used computer parts as someone who works in computer repairs/servicing.
If you saw some of the pictures on my phone of the insides of computers of smokers/filthy **** you would be shocked! I've seen maggots,vomit, urine and blood. The wrost is the smokers though. The nictoine infused smoke gets into everything and forms a sticky stinky layer, then all the dust / skin / hair sticks to it and soaks in even more second hand smoke. Often times it can be so deeply embedded in the materials it's nigh on impossible to get out even with specialist cleaning agents and techniques. Unsurprisingly smokers machines are voided of warranty with certain companies, Apple comes to mind.
That said a CPU is usually "ok" and the disgusting computers are maybe 20-30% of the overall quantity but still, it's enough to put me off lol.
Regardless, heat added as most people would never know the difference, although if you suddenly catch a whiff of fags it might very well be your lovely CeX CPU cooking up a nice stink.

Hot!
If you buy a CPU from Cex or anywhere for that matter and it turns out to be faulty then you must for EXTREMELY unlucky. As the CPU is the last part to brake if at all on any computer. If it was a hard drive then I would be concerned.

People usually trade in to CEX because they need the money, not because they attempt to set the world over-voltage record on their chips.
Regards to warranty they will just replace no fuss in my experience.

Can you still claim on the warranty if purchased from CEX?

i5 6600k for £150 there too, plus £2.50 delivery, beats the Amazon Warehouse price from earlier this week. Very tempted to upgrade from a i3 6100.

Could be a massive faff if they don't bother to check them could be bent pins galore.

Hence why I mentioned two year warranty and you can return to store for refund if not happy, also better than buying from random person on ebay
