This CPU was pulled from a working system, based on an Asus P8Z68-V LX motherboard.  It has always worked great for me.  It was purchased new, as a CPU in the retail box.  It comes with the box with the sticker with the serial number, etc.; the original CPU fan (working) and the clear plastic CPU case.  It was removed to upgrade to a faster, more expensive CPU.

It would make a fine emergency CPU; or a starter CPU for a non-power user who wants an LGA 1155 socket upgrade path.
