TL;DR any way to test a CPU I don't have a mobo for?
My house got directly struck by lighting and my motherboard died because electricity came through the ethernet port.
I want to resell the other parts individually. I've confirmed my gpu works(my brother grabbed it and has been using it for a week)
I've confirmed the PSU still works(get good surge protectors, boys...just remember to get good surge protectors for your router too)
Here's my problem. Is there any reasonable way for me to test my CPU without having to buy a $200 last gen motherboard?
I don't want to be dishonest and put it up on ebay "as-is" without knowing if it works, but I also don't really want to give away a potentially working Core i7-5775C.

Also, you can't test it any other way
Either find a friend or a stranger with a lga1150 mobo and test it out
Pay a pizza as a test fee

sell it on ebay and see if the buyer complains about it being dead

Go to local computershop and ask them to test it

I wish I had a local computer shop.

This is an..ok idea. I'm not sure how I would go about finding someone though.

I would feel bad about doing this.

Or one that's not so local, beats purchasing a 200 dollar mobo

depends where you live, if the burgerland then craigslist i guess and if in EU some pc forums might be helpful
I've provided these test services for friends and friend's friends but other than that i haven't
