Suspicions arose when my new Ryzen build crashed in a weird way while gaming on Linux, playing Black Mesa. I decided to test is
I have updated my bios to the latest and ran that kill-ryzen stress test, earlier on Linux Mint 18.2 with kernel 4.11, and now also with the new Ubuntu 17.10 on 4.13.
here are some results:

It seems on kernel 4.13 it produces fails less frequently than on 4.11, but still does.
Is the kill-ryzen script reliable in determining faulty CPU's? Should I RMA?
It is annoying for me, for my retailer specifically asked if I want to wait for a new CPU or take the known buggy right away. I waited, but did they send me a buggy one anyway?
Edit: removed serial number
