i didnt he did somehow have tried it in 3 motherboards and it dont work in any and spoke to intel and they was dicks and said it must be something to do with when you fitted it so no refund
 
get a i5 760 then unlucky he must take pictures to see if the pins were bent from trying to force the chip in or something like that

core i5 760's have pins?

If it's really blown (without overclocking or anything silly), just call again. Intel will swap out all faulty cpus - although i've never seen a recent CPU go wrong without overclocking (and even then usually the mobo lets go first...)
