The retail comes in a pretty box with a 3 year warrenty? If there's an intel heatsink on the top, its a fair chance its a retail processor. But all my intel heatsinks are still in the boxes, I always used an uprated cooler myself.

Hey Th3D0n,

I'm not aware of anyway to distinguish an OEM chip from a retail chip apart from the Certificate of Authenticity that comes with the retail package, if you got that (and maybe the stock HSF) then you can sell it as a full retail unit but if you got the chip only that's gonna be an OEM sale!

I wouldn't worry to much, not that many people are gonna pay more for a used Retail chip vs a used OEM chip, as long as it works and is in good condition you should have no problems selling it!

Any oem intel cpu's ive purchased have been supplied in a small box with no documentation.

Ok thanks

setter, if I took a retail chip out the package and an OEM chip out its little cardboard box and put them on a table would you know how to distinguish which was which?

Definitely not wayne, with my shoddy eyesight i couldnt even read the writing on the cpu, id need a set of specs like milk bottle bottoms.
