Fake Intel CPUs at Newegg

After talking to several sources on this, it seems that Newegg was in fact selling counterfeit Intel processors.

A fake Intel Core i7-920 was delivered to the hands of HardForum user Vincent Waller in Oregon, AKA "Nix." He reported his find to other HardForum users Thursday afternoon.

WOW! How the fuck did that happen? Demo boxes? Hmmmm....very fishy!

outsourcing is new!

Someone in the supply chain is making a buck on fake shit. I guess razor thin profit margins aren't enough anymore.

LOLZ

That was a funny video.. I've been reading up on all this mess on Hardocp and there is a fresh statement form Newegg today. Go read it.

Go read it? Why not link the fucking thing fagass?

They updated the old link. Heres a new link.
