    Sell it to CEX for £211. Doubt they check them beyond visual inspection so as long as it isn't charred from over enthusiastic overclocking it should be accepted.

    Though I presume their stores are now closed so may have to post it to them where they may have a proper testing set-up, whereas walking into the store relies on the staff there having much of a clue and kit to check it with.
    Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

      It's not that bad - it just doesn't play as nicely with the ddr memory I have than the 3800x I was using before I installed this chip.

      It may be a moot point though as it seems Scan have screwed up my order as what I'm seeing on their website doesn't match what the email lists...
