I order tray processors periodically and they usually come in a plastic tray wrapped in a static bag.
I just ordered my first EPYC 9005 series (Turin) processor from a reputable retailer that appears on this forum a fair amount. The proc came in a white cardboard box with pink foam and no static bag. The white box was packaged nicely in a slightly larger brown cardboard box. However, the processor sitting directly on the foam surprised me. I haven't installed this yet because I'm still waiting for some other parts.
Is this acceptable/safe for a server proc?
