Ask for your parts back. Worst that happens is you don't get them. After that contact the better business bureau or your local equivalent if things are not resolved to your satisfaction. If you purchased the part online you should be able to print a receipt.
While it sucks you need a new processor the up side is a 7700k is very cheap used. Though now would probably be a good time for an upgrade.

OP should probably check his local repair shop. They probably have a cheap used 7700k in stock right now!

Might be his own chip, though.

work at a repair shop. random motherboard issues I'd probably put his CPU in another motherboard and or another CPU in his motherboard so I could get it diagnosed. I'd probably stop what im doing at that point and call him with repair options and prices. sometimes they don't answer and walk into to the store instead and say no i don't want it repaired but I want my computer now now now. if it's my day off someone else will have to put it back together. they might not know that I had another CPU in their case for diagnosing if it's the motherboard or cpu as it could be either.
this senerio isn't common probably had it happen to me once a year or so. the senerio is usually we gotta reassemble it and you can grab it in an hour or 2 or tomorrow when the repair person is in but sometimes people don't want to wait.
an i7-7700 instead of an i7-7700k isn't worth the hassle of this to make be make 25 to 50$ extra.
it's probably a misunderstanding or mistake and OP isn't even reaching out to them.

The BBB is so last century.

The BBB is a toothless organization looking to sap money from clueless business owners.
blaine1201 t1_ixe4yjx wrote
All correct except for the last part.
As a small business owner, I know the BBB is toothless. What they are though, odd the YELP of the older generation.
The older people use them to find businesses to use. We get leads from the BBB all the time.

YES! All they do is guilt you and collect $600 a year.

The BBB is not a US government organisation, they just pretend to be (similar to TV Licencing in the UK), and OP probably isn't even in the US because they gave their price in Euros.

Agree with you about the BBB. If anybody decides they want to try to take a chance with an organization WITH teeth, your state Attorney General's office may be able to help out. Rember, every business must be licensed before they operate and maintain the "permission" of the government to keep their doors open. It looks like he might have jumped the gun and finally found that he fooled himself. Ny message to him, Have you learned anything about your trust issue? All's well that ends well, yes?

The BBB is a paid membership. They literally do nothing for consumers.

I actually did upgrade to 11th gen becase of this incident.

Oh no. Not 11th gen

reynoldswrap108 t1_ixe8lgb wrote
There’s nothing wrong with 11th gen. 12th gens were just a substantial improvement over 11th gen; probably one of the most major improvements in some time. I’ve got a 11th gen i9 and it’s solid. Your i7 will be great.
Kevo05s t1_ixec5m0 wrote
There's nothing specifically wrong for 11th (other than the i9) but you seem to have kept an amazing tracking record of buying the "pointless" generation. Both the 7th Gen and 11th Gen were "pointless" as in they made little to no improvement. They were just slightly overclocked previous gen chips sold as "the next best thing".
The i9 exception was the fact that the 10th gen core i9 had 2 more core and 4 more thread than the 11th gen i9. The 11th gen core i9 is an overclocked 11th gen i7.
So the idea here was either save your money and go 10th gen or go to 12th gen
