Newegg Selling Fake Intel CPUs?
Forum user "Nix" reported this morning he bought an Intel Core i7 model 920 from Newegg earlier this week. When he got his CPU opened, he found out that it seems everything in the box is "fake"...including the box. You can read up on his experience here. We reached out to Nix and gave him a phone call this morning and I would have to say that it does in fact seem that he got a totally "fake" CPU from Newegg. We are looking more into this as of now and will report what we find.
