Might have been scammed. 7700k electrical layout

Nathen313 · May 12, 2018

So I purchased a broken 7700k, but comparing the capacitor/resistor to the sellers listing showed that they are different. I cant figure out what chip it is exactly and was hoping someone on here recognized the layout.

What does it have written on the other side?

sizzling :

It's just the 7700k IHS but it looks removed/replaced

sizzling · May 12, 2018

Why not drop it in the system and see what the BIOS says. If that all checks out run some benchmarks and see how it performs.

Nathen313 · May 12, 2018

sizzling :

It's a dead chip. Purchased it broken

What were you hoping to do with this known broken CPU?

sizzling · May 12, 2018

If it’s broken what does it matter if it’s not a 7700k?

Nathen313 · May 12, 2018

USAFRet :

I mean, seeing if it was a compatibility error. Since in the listing the seller claimed it was dead and couldn't boot in a z170. Dut the seller obviously didn't send me the 7700k in the listing and I just wanted to know what chip it was before filing a claim.

Nathen313 · May 12, 2018

sizzling :

The fact that the seller is misleading me? That he sent something not what was listed?

USAFRet · May 12, 2018

How much did you pay for this known broken CPU?

I'm assuming ebay?
Have a link to the listing?

It's obviously not the same chip, I just want to know if anyone recognizes the the chip I received based on the layout

Ok I’m looking on my phone which isn’t ideal but it looks the same to me. What is it that makes you say it is different?

Nathen313 · May 12, 2018

sizzling :

Here I've changed the orientations,

Actual 7700k, top and bottom

USAFRet :

Any ideas what the chip might me?

USAFRet · May 12, 2018

Nathen313 :

No idea.

sizzling · May 12, 2018

Ok easy to see the difference now. No idea what it might be.

Nathen313 · May 12, 2018

It's a 7350k

You'd think if you were going to run a 'swap the heat-spreader and resell' scam, it'd be w/ a less expensive G4xxx series Pentium, etc., vice using a CPU that actually cost $185 when it was new......

But then buying one that is sold as broken anyway, and then being curious that you received the wrong but broken product is also curious...

(Result is the same, money wasted, no functioning CPU)

USAFRet · May 12, 2018

Nathen313 :

So now what will you do?
Try to get a refund, because he sold you the wrong broken CPU?

something something all sales final...

You bought a broken, non working CPU. How are you going to file a claim? He clearly listed it as broken/for parts. You can buy it hoping he's wrong. Turns out he was right. You have no right to file anything against this person and I hope it goes badly for you. You took a chance, it didn't pay off. Go buy a working CPU!
