Monty,

Of course there is a possible for a consumer to receive a defective CPU, but it is more likely that the consumer will damage the processor himself. Probably the most likely area where damage can occur is attaching of heatsink to the CPU. Without a properly attached heatsink (it has to be one specifically designed for Socket A processor), the CPU can be history in a few seconds.
