So did I. Was right astonished to see 'em at that price new-in-box, but
was from some server recycler outfit and probably nothing their regular

Sometimes older CPUs in the same class do run hotter. But that's kinda strange.
I wonder if the board the old CPU is on is underclocking it.
Which is usually an option if temperature can't be otherwise controlled.

Not very good at all, in my view.

I've had some stuck on by twisty tie or external screw myself. These
tend to become permanent. <g>

Heatsink fit depends on the mount, not the CPU. Some are directional,
others don't care.
