Counterfeit Core i7 920 [Unboxing]

So yeah, I got this nice surprise yesterday when I was working on my i7 set up. Sorry for the quality I don't have anything installed as the 1TB black caviar -did- work and I have it with a fresh install. Luckily I've been shopping at newegg for five years. I'd hate to see this happen to a first time customer as it has NEVER happened to me in the 5 years ordering from them.

If you have batch #: 3938B006 don't even bother opening it, because you will have this waiting to greet you. Just contact Newegg and they should help you. They are aware of the situation and are working on it currently. Hopefully I don't have to go through a real RMA process BS for this and I can get my i7 before next weekend.

You accidentally ordered the i7 model kit. Contains 1 x plastic cpu 1 x Post-It notes and 1 x heart sink.

damn. when i heard newegg sent out fake ones i assumed they were working processors that weren't officially licensed. that's just a block of metal.

The blank instruction manual makes it hilarious, why did they put that in there? Its like they just wanted to rub it in your face that you got ripped off.

I wonder if Newegg passed on the savings they made on this "great deal."

chinese counterfit?

I doubt this is something Intel Owns atleast they would not have misspelled their own product's informations, go in look and read the information on the side of the box, bad spelling all over it.
