Hi, I have an Intel ES i7-8700, Q-Spec QN8H, it is basically an i5-8400 with HT and 3MB extra cache, costed less than an 8400. It ran extremely well and had nothing weird ever happened to it. Only downside is that the memory multiplier is locked to 26.66 (I used a memory kit capable of 4266MHz CL17) I picked it up from a computer/electronics market in Beijing, China a while ago and I have no idea where the seller got these and they obviously won't tell us where he got them. Now, I have no use for this chip anymore since I got an 8700K, so I am thinking of selling it locally. I have quite a few more interesting engineering samples that I bought from China that I want to sell too. Is it legal for me to sell this on Canadian Craigslist or Facebook? I've googled this but haven't really seen any talk about this... Thanks, Tim

Hey guys, I recently grabbed a Gigabyte GA-AB350N-Gaming-WiFi motherboard off Amazon for a planned Ryzen 3 2200G build. However, I picked up my CPU today at MemoryExpress and when put it in, the board will not POST. Everything else is definitely good and tested working. I realized I need to update the BIOS in order to use this CPU. Is there a way to do it instead of buying a Ryzen 3 1200 or an A series APU? Unfortunately all my friends use Intel or AMD FX so borrowing one is not possible... I know ASUS has that BIOS FLASHBACK thing that saved my a$$ a few times, wondering if it’s possible on the board I have right now. Cheers!
