And on windows just open task manager...

But it seems the person buying doesn't really understand all that, or doesn't seem to have the use of it?

Throw in the buyer never mentions if the product came from amazon or a third party as written in the article. Amazon should be verifying the quality of the 3rd party sellers, it is shit not to, but come on. To not know? It says Sold By: in the main section if the sale. If it says sold by Elite 100 and not amazon... it is sold by Elite 100.

Example: https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i9-13900K-Desktop-Processor-P-cores/dp/B0BCF54SR1/ref=mp_s_a_1_16?crid=3H73JQQ7TJBCD&keywords=cpu&qid=1693852349&sprefix=cpu%2Caps%2C183&sr=8-16
