Comment on [Gamers Nexus] Intel's Biggest Failure in Years: Confirmed Oxidation & Excessive Voltage

if you have a chance to refund both your CPU and mobo I’d personally recommend taking it and waiting to see what Intel does if you want to buy Intel’s future processors, you’d also get the option to take a look at AMD’s lineup as well
if you’re outside the return window for both it might still be worth refunding the CPU and seeing if you’d be able to swap the mobo with an AMD equivalent by contacting your board maker [Asus MSI, Asrock, Gigabyte, NZXT, etc), if they say no then you still have the option to sell as a new board as it sounds like you were on the cusp of the build phase

May the board is a few years old. I’d be taking a loss on the motherboard and cpu as they’re both out of the return window.
Maybe I should just sell the entire pc.
