Call them and talk first. It’s possible they changed processors to try to diagnose if the processor or main board was bad. They could have just screwed up.

this is it. bet he ignored a phone call that was like hey your motherboard is bad gotta replace it tested it with a known working cpu and same issues repair coat $150 to 300$ depending on what new motherboard you want is. he showed up and had to leave with it them and so they assemble is as fast as possible and forgot to swap the cpu back.

As an IT guy, this is incredibly likely. I’d do the same thing to diagnose.
And I’ve had clients do this.

Also could be he never actually had a 7700k and thinks he did. Depends how tech savy he is.

Even if he was really scamming you he likely thought you wouldn’t notice. After all if you’re bringing your pc to a repair shop you’re likely not a pc expert. When you notice he will probably play it off as a mistake and give your back to you. Easier to just scam the next guy who likely won’t notice

Pretty useless scam for the level of risk too. As the k version probably is only worth $20-30 more lmao. It's much easier to inflate the cost of repairs...

But OP said he lost 450 euros...?

That's the cost of a new 7700k, not the difference between the 7700 and the 7700k. He was emotional and exaggerated a bit.
