So I bought a 13th gen Intel CPU off ebay a few months ago. Now it started misbehaving - blue screens in a clean Windows install, restarts when running Cinebench (while temps stay under 90°C). The CPU hasn't been overclocked or overvolted, always had a 240mm water cooler on. Intel warranty says:
Intel does not honor warranty requests for used, gray-market, second-hand, gifted, or products purchased from other than our authorized distributors or resellers.
It looks like I'll have to throw it away, despite it's supposed to have a 3 year warranty. I think I'll go AMD for my next build...
