AM5 socket and has been available for two months. So it's the latest generation.

No, the thermal paste is either included with a new cooler or you can buy one if you already have a cooler.

Yes, but the 9700X costs almost the same at the moment, so I would go for that. Lg

But you can declare that, can't you? Sorry, the product says box and I get bubble wrap? You immediately assume that the CPU is used. And if it is so used, then the price should be a lot cheaper.

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X CPU comes without an enclosed fan. To cool this CPU, you will need to procure a suitable cooler yourself, as the more powerful variants of the Ryzen 7000 series are not supplied with a boxed cooler.

The thermal paste is not normally supplied directly with the CPU, unless you have purchased a boxed cooler where the thermal paste is already applied to the cooler. If you buy a CPU without a cooler, you will need to purchase the thermal paste separately.

No. See manufacturer number 100-100000591WOF. WOF is short for "Without Fan", which translates as "without fan/cooler".

Yes :)

The only difference between this item and item number 24555454 is that they come from different sources, which affects pricing and availability.

Hello, These appear to be the same processors, but from different suppliers. According to the manufacturer reference (100-000000591), and in terms of specifications, it should be the following component: https://www.amd.com/en/product/12161

Only at participating retailers, see AMD website. According to the list there, Galaxus is not included, if I see it correctly.
