I came across an used 980 here in Norway, witch has been in use for almost 4 years, overclocked to 4 GHz. The seller ask 180$ for it, with the original cooler.
The cooler is unused. He had in watercooling all the time.
Is it considered risky to buy an used cpu like this, or is this an good offer????

Risky? Yes, but look at the seller's feedback. I just bought a used 980X myself and it works great
Now my backup machine kicks ***** almost as well as my X79 rig
