    Best way to go about selling my CPU

    Wanting to sell my CPU and go conroe. However, not sure about the best way of disposing of it. It has its IHS removed - would that be a potetial turn-off for eBayers? I paid £225 for it, and would like to get atleast £180 back.

    It's a good clocker.

    Any suggestions welcome

    Removed IHS is a plus for some, and a negative for some.

    As long as you did a good job of the IHS removal and everythings working fine, I would say that it shoudl at the very least not featch you a lesser price, but the potential buyer-base will likely be a bit more limited (since the big majority of people are "afraid" of hardware mods).
