Newegg: Get your fake Intel CPUs here | Adventures in IT - InfoWorld: "Newegg: Get your fake Intel CPUs here
Can you say 'quality control'? If so, you're one up on online retailer Newegg, caught selling bogus Intel i7-920 processors" Actually, it gets better (or worse, depending on your perspective). According to photographs posted at the HardOCP forums where the story originally surfaced, the "chip" came with a "heat sink" that was simply a blob of molded plastic. The CPU fan, visible through a cutout in the box's packaging, was a decal glued to the "heat sink." In other words, it was a picture of a fan, not an actual fan. The "chip" itself appears to be a piece of tin with perforations where you'd normally find circuits.
