Buying a i7 7th gen cpu from a guy and i need help here's what he says about it.

"I tried to install it in a z170 board, which it should have worked in guaranteed
But I forgot to do the bios update
As such, I think I broke something on the board, and it just WON'T update bios
Trust me, I tried
So yeah, that's literally all I did with it
Took the CPU right out and tried to update bios on the board to no avail."

is it worth me buying it ? at this point i have no way of checking for another couple weeks but for the price i really cant ignore it
 
Sounds like a good deal.
Intel warranty on 7th gen processors is 3 years. undoubtedly, the processor is still covered by the intel warranty. The batch id is what is used to determine the purchase date.
Since 7th gen was recently launched you are covered.
Intel is very good about replacement.

Of course, know your seller.
If the processor is genuine,you are ok.
