Bought 4 broken Ryzen 5600s for $70 but only one was broken. Should I return them?

In all seriousness I did buy 4 broken CPUs and had 3 end up posting
That’s on you, if you feel grateful enough do a giveaway and make a few peoples days even better.
A few years ago I got a palette of salvaged GTX 750 Tis at a salvage auction. They’d been underwater for a good long time!
I easily made my money back on those.
Yes, return them as it is clearly not what was ordered.
Okay. Make the most of it and sell the working ones. Make some money.
Why would you order broken cpus?
Dude I’m going to be blunt with you it’s good that you have a heart I really like that , but we live in a world of winner takes all in this case of scenario your the winner me personally I wouldn’t give them back to the owner because he doesn’t know and what ya don’t know won’t hurt you you know what I’m saying but just do a like a give away for this community
But if you want to give them back we then go a head i can tell your a really really nice dude and you got a special spot in heaven but just keep them you snooze ya loose
Overclock 1 until it Breaks. Keep 1 and give/sell the Last one. ( Broken CPU = nice keychain )
I could use an upgrade lol
Some many beggers in the comments, like damn is it that hard to work for your pc parts?
Stick it in rebuild, give it to a shelter so they can help people get the funding they need.
Just break the other 3. Now you have the 4 broken CPUs you paid for
I think you’re fine. Theres one guy on youtube who buys and fixes broken game consoles, and a lot of them are, in fact, not broken or are rejected for a silly reason. They could be open box items a warehouse wants to clear out, or a slightly bent pin may make them a weird fit in the zif socket. I could see what you’re saying if they were unopened, but otherwise, I’m sure they were sent to you just the same as any others.
Yeah, to me.

U got scammed
It’s likely that they work but are damaged in some way, anywhere from a missing pin to half the cores shattered would qualify I guess
Brother all 4 are yours now, they took the L and you took the W
return the broken one and keep the others
Are we in backwardsland?
Why would you ever consider returning them?
No.
Posting doesn’t necessarily mean they work.
For example, it could fail accessing certain memory busses, or PCIE lanes. It could fail accessing its cache, or any of the bajillion ryzen features.
You scored a good deal, *if they work.* Don’t return them, just use them until you find what is wrong with them.
No you should not, if they don’t contact you back, don’t return them
Absolutely OP, you’re being taken for a ride here
Whatever you want to do, I don’t see it as a problem, unless you bought them from a friend.
Meanwhile, I traded my R9 FURY on a second-hand website for a 5600X that ended up being dead, and the other trader disappeared 😒
100%; these companies not providing the consumer with products that match the item description on their website is getting outta hand; fight back 💪😤🤬
Return broken one.
