im purchasing my cpu from a friend of a friend and this is what he says happened:
"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."
so did he do any damage to the cpu ? or did he destroy his mobo messing with bios ?
any opinion is welcomed at this point im actually willing to take the risk considering hes selling it cheap and buying the 8th gen model.
