Newegg unknowingly got a hold of a bad batch of Core i7-920 CPU's from
a distributor who passed some counterfeits into the order. Apparently
about 200 out of 1000 purchased have these plastic fan/heat sinks
units with faked CPU's in the box. The box is a bad knock-off and
leads one to the conclusion the counterfeits originates in China,
(grammar and spelling is bad.)

To make thing even worse for NewEgg, HardOCP is all over this story
giving NewEgg a hard time about the problem. See it at:

s .

So all you builders of motherboards using i7 cpu's purchased from
NewEgg better take a close look at the parts you just received from
NewEgg before the week end builders party begins.

Billy boy,
Why do you think it's funny that someone ripped someone else off for ~
$4000?
