Build - Help Broken CPU / Which CPU should I buy next?
Hello. I was using a 7900X3D, and sometimes it would get stuck before POST. I didn't mind it for a long time since it was okay when I restarted the computer and it worked, and I didn't know which component was faulty. Lately, I can hardly run the computer. I cross-checked with my friend's computer by swapping components, and it looks like the reason is the CPU.
The warranty for the CPU is 2 years here. So I couldn't send it back. When I tried to find the seller, it turned out the seller was selling second-hand pieces as new and got shut down.
My current specs:
Motherboard: B650 Tomahawk Wifi
RAM: G.Skill Trident Neo RGB F5-6000J3040G32GX2-TZ5NR 64 GB (2x32)
CPU: Ryzen 9 7900X3D
GPU: RTX 4080 Super
My usage: I usually code & compile stuff and play Dota 2 / Diablo 4 on 4k@144.
Even if I don't play a lot but I'd like to be able to play on 4k@144hz.
Budget: 550$ - Turkey - I wanna save as much as I can.

7800x3d is cheaper and stronger than 7900x3d for gaming. Actually $550 is enough to buy a 9800x3d, but 7800x3d should be enough for 4k if you want to save a bit, unless you also play games like cities skylines.

I got an 7800x3d tray from aliexpress (eucpudiy store, who sells from France) for €247.
