Question Testing CPUs

[sebastian42]

S.O.S. I have an I7 SR..... 3.5Ghz Intel CPU that worked with a Gigabyte X299-UD4 motherboard. From extensive testing, I believe the mobo is dead, but I also believe the CPU still works. Since the cost is so high ($900), and it might still work, I do not want to discard it prematurely. I'd buy a new motherboard if I could be assured that the CPU still works - can anyone help me determine that ?

Ideally you should replace the motherboard with the same model.

If that model is not available or if you want to upgrade the motherboard, you can look for motherboards with LGA 2066 socket.

If MB is indeed dead, only way to test CPU is to plug it in a known good and compatible system.
PS. What makes you sure that MB is dead ?
