Difference between a boxed processor and an oem/tray processor?
Note: I googled it but I wasn't satisfied with the results as the info was different on every website.

 

[Finlay Roelofs]

boxed often comes with a cooler n stuff

Boxed CPU comes with a heatsink

 

[Sander Schropp]

Warranty. 1 vs 3 years

Tray ones are only really interesting for server use and OEMs who dont wanna throw out 1000 stock heatsinks.

So is the boxed one better or the OEM/tray ?

Tray one if you already have a CPU cooler.
