If it's still in the box newegg will no doubt let you return it. But if this helps anyone, I have a motherboard that used to have that exact CPU in it, and I'm pretty sure that the CPU is what fried on there. It's an ABIT AN9 32x, has 8 gigs of RAM on it and if anyone wants to have it FOR FREE and try Wayne's CPU on it, let me know. Man I have a lot of parts I don't need.
