According to the journalist, the AMD Ryzen ordered the 9800x3D processor, but when opening the sealed box, he found an outdated FX series processor inside.
It was significantly different from the fake original: a false sign was glued to the cover of the heat distributor and the bottom side had old pin connectors instead of contact areas.
This case is not a single situation. At the beginning of China, the fake 9800x3D has already appeared in China, but at least used the original panels.
Here, the scammers put a completely different processor in the factory packaging.
In particular, it is worried that the order is placed directly through the Amazon, not through a third -party seller. This means that the substitute may occur in the logistics stage or when the goods are taken.
