Bought a 7800X3d, Received a 14900k.
I'm currently building a new SFF PC in an nr200p case. I purchased a 7800x3d and an 'ASRock B650I LIGHTNING' MOBO, but the CPU just arrived and it's a used 14900k in an AMD box. The MOBO hasn't shipped yet, and isn't due to arrive until the 17th.
I'm wondering if instead of returning it for the actual AMD chip I'd be better off just cancelling the MOBO and ordering an Intel board? Maybe an 'ASUS ROG Strix B760-I Gaming WiFi'?
Is it risky to use this chip since it was clearly used? I feel like CPUs are pretty bulletproof?

Update: The Intel chip is on it's way back to Amazon for a refund. Sticking with the plan for the 7800X3D build. Thanks everyone!
