I wonder if the person who packed it, meant it to be an early April Fools joke.
Are you sure you did'nt go to a bogus site somehow? If so, that person now has your credit card/paypal info. This is out of contro! I order from newegg ALL the time.
I sent a pm to one of the admins over at eggxpert who handles CS issues. I will let you guys know if i get any info.
Was the box still sealed from intel or was it opened when you got it? If it was still sealed then maybe some intel factory worker is trying to make a few $$?
Looks like Newegg is suffering through a supply of counterfeit i7-920's. Wonder if we can get some details on this from a Newegg rep?
Does anyone know if Newegg typically buys these directly from Intel or is there another distributor in the middle?

I would hazard to guess that NewEgg gets their stock from multiple distributors and not directly from Intel.
Multiple sourcing is important when you do business the way on-line suppliers do.
Chances are real good that NewEgg wasn't duped directly, but that their supplier was.
This is front page news?
whats up with the trolls lately on hardocp?
canned responses:
-not front page news
-i have sli video cards, sorry not sure how thats related to your "insert issue here"
-grammar policing
That's at least three people who should be smart enough to know a SOCHET when they see it.

One of the largest and trusted e-tailors for computer equipment starts shipping fake CPU's and you didn't expect it to make front page news on one of the most "enthusiastic" of computer sites?
Putting this news on the front page can only help.

Im sorry. I misspoke earlier. Out of 2000 they got in the shipment, she said that 300 were fake. Theyve all been removed from the warehouse. They are investigating with the distributor. They came from the distributor this way. It was not an inside job....at least at Newegg.
Hopefully this isn't the start of a decline as Newegg as an e-tailer. I buy tons of crap from them.
