Buying Dead LGA 2066 CPU

Any CPU will do, my Gigabyte X299 Gaming 7 Pro has bitten the dust, it's an engineering sample at V0.1, one of 10 I believe so I'd like to frame it and use the LED_DEMO header with it.

(It's the reason I was selling my 32GB of RAM and I have my 7800X for sale).

Xeons, i7's, i9's that do not work anymore due to what ever reason, I need one.

Thanks

Have you asked gigabyte whether they have a dummy for this kind of thing?

They don't have anything on hand, they're however sending me the USB adapter to make this header work so I can frame it

Yup, Xeon W with some laser etching if you can think of something good. Maybe the SFF icon?

I'd put the OCN logo maybe, that'd be sweet, but I still need to find a dead CPU or one of those blanks, they don't ship to Canada :/

I know that pain. Wanted to pick up a 1070 Katana but they wouldn't ship to the US

If I don't have to worry about paying out of pocket, I'll gladly act as a middle man. I have plenty of trades on HW swap if you need some sort of character judge.
