Someone buys a used Ryzen 7 5800X3D. “Valorant” and other Riot games won’t start with it because the previous owner was a cheater.

Apologies. It would seem those are specific for Intel CPUs only. My mistake.

For AMD CPUs there seems to be a unique serial number. It is engraved physically on it, but I have yet to find how to view it through software check.

oic. I thought you were abbreviating some slang I have yet to learn.

AMD uses OPN🔗.

On Riot games, all it had to do was
# wmic cpu get serialnumber
