    Wow, that sucks. I don’t even know if you could get your money back for the CPU in that case, as the seller could just claim it wasn’t him. Doesn’t sound like Riot is being that cooperative in such cases either.

      Claim that it isn’t fully functional (which it isn’t, for the buyer’s use case), and therefore not as described?

      HWID bans usually involve a much larger fingerprint of the system hardware. Riot would have to really big assholes not to revert the ban, if they were to snapshot the rest of his system and see that only the CPU was part of the original ban.

        So, yeah, that’s not getting reverted.
