i have to disagree with repair arguement.
its nearly impossible to repair a processor the logic gates are microscopial. i really dont think anybody at intel gets paid enough to go inside and disable gates then write protocols to couteract the missing gates

I picked up a 950 (not recertified, just open box), and haven't had any problems so far. If you can push it pretty hard within the 1st 30 days without issue I wouldn't sweat it too bad.
Then again, I only paid $159 for 950. Taking a chance on a $480 processor is a bit more of a concern. With that much money involved I would rather buy a new 970 for $549 and enjoy the 3-year warranty for the $69 more.
Hmm, that's funny, Newegg is selling the recertified 970 for $320 cheaper then the original $799 price, especially considering that they are currently selling the brand new 970 for just $549...
Yeah, I saw the discount from the "originally" price. Looking at the actual current price to get one new, the warranty is definitely worth it for most people. If I had the money, I'd probably do it though, because odds are good if I blow up a CPU it's going to happen inside that 30 day window anyway. And like I said, I'm not exactly nervous that they may have used an electron microscope and a soldering iron the size of a bacteria to repair something that was actually damaged. So I'd just be getting something that got RMA'd by an incompetent.

Not going to buy a recertified CPU of any kind!
BTW, I think it would be better to buy a use one from a EVGA user anyway!

Ya, it was still sold out from the sale they had last week as there was a "out of stock eta of 11/7" on the page before todays sale. Some how this sale screwed it up and showed in stock even though it wasnt as I was trying to pick one up ever since the email hit. :( Did grab the 850 though :)

A recertified product can actually be better than one off the shelf. Read the forums here and you will see numerous people that have had to RMA an EVGA product. Things slip by the production line easily. To be recertified it has more hands on testing to make sure the product is up to spec. I have several recertified products from iPods to EVGA video cards and each has outlasted off the shelf items my friends have bought.
