What we look for on a CPU.
What to photograph on a processor
The lid (integrated heat spreader) of every Intel Xeon is laser-etched with the model name and a five-character spec code — SRGZG on a Xeon Gold 6248R, for example, or SRF8W on a Gold 6230. The spec code is the part number: it distinguishes a retail chip from an OEM tray part and one stepping from another, and it is what we price against. AMD EPYC lids carry the model (7543, 9354) and an OPN string beginning with 100-000000. Photograph the lid straight on, in good light, with the etching readable.
Do not touch the pins or the LGA pads on the underside; a photo of the top is enough. If the CPU is still in a server, the model is also on the BIOS screen and on the host label, but the lid is what we read.
What drives the price of a used CPU
Generation and core count. Third- and fourth-generation Xeon Scalable (Ice Lake 83xx, Sapphire Rapids 84xx) and AMD EPYC Milan and Genoa (7003, 9004) carry the highest prices; second-generation Cascade Lake Gold and Platinum parts (62xx, 82xx, the R refresh) are still in demand for upgrades; first-generation Skylake and Xeon E5 v4 sell in volume for less. Within a generation, higher core counts and clock speeds price higher, and the R-suffix refresh parts price above the originals.
Condition is simple: no bent pads, no thermal paste bridging the contacts, no missing lid. Pairs of identical CPUs pulled from one dual-socket host earn a small premium because a buyer can populate both sockets from one lot.

How to pack a CPU
Put each processor in its clamshell, or wrap it in anti-static foam with the contact side protected, and pad the box so nothing moves. Do not tape directly to the lid. A small USPS Priority box holds a dozen CPUs. For large lots we can arrange freight, or hand it over at a local pickup.
Rather hand it over in person?
Meet us in one of these cities and get paid in cash on the spot.
Frequently asked
Which CPUs are worth selling?
Intel Xeon Scalable (Silver, Gold, Platinum from 1st to 5th gen), Xeon E5 v3/v4, Xeon W, and every AMD EPYC generation. Older Xeon E5 v1/v2 and desktop chips sell, but for little — bundle them with other parts.
Should I send the heatsink or the motherboard too?
Just the CPU, in its clamshell or a padded container with the pins protected. Heatsinks and boards are welcome but priced separately; mention them in the notes and we will add lines to the offer.
Can I buy parts from you?
No — we only buy. ram4cash.com is for selling your bulk RAM, SSDs, and CPUs to us.
I have a large lot. What's fastest?
Message us on WhatsApp with a list or a few photos. We'll quote the whole lot, usually same day.
How do you price my parts?
By part number and quantity, against this week's market. You get a line-item offer by email, valid 10 business days. No obligation.
When do I get paid?
Two ways: PayPal Goods & Services upfront as soon as you accept (ship within 2 business days), or cash on the spot at a local pickup. We cover the PayPal fee.
Do I pay for shipping?
Yes. For large lots we can arrange freight or a cash pickup in one of our 7 cities.
What if something doesn't match?
We tell you what differs and send a revised price before paying. Decline and we ship it back at our cost.
Is the data on my SSDs wiped?
Yes — every drive is NIST 800-88 wiped or shredded. Certificate on request.
