A Tray Version CPU, also known as an OEM or Bulk CPU, is typically sold to manufacturers in large quantities without the original packaging, heatsink, or cooling fan. It is different from the Retail Version, which comes in a box with full packaging, including a stock cooler and usually a longer warranty from the manufacturer. The Tray Version is ideal for users who already have a cooling solution or are looking for a more affordable option.
CPU Tray Version is not packed in a paper box, so it is inevitable to get scratched when entering and leaving the warehouse. Here are the steps to verify whether it is brand new:
Observe the left and right sides of the CPU. Whether it has been installed on the motherboard can be judged by the indentations on the left and right sides. The installed CPU will have indentations on both sides that cannot be removed. For details, see the comparison picture below. This store sells the CPU Tray Version, which is brand new.

Yes, since the Tray Version CPU does not include a cooler, you will need to ensure you have a compatible cooling solution ready. Additionally, you will need thermal paste (if not pre-applied) and the appropriate motherboard that supports the CPU socket type. Make sure your system also has the correct power supply to handle the CPU's power requirements.
