Fake GPU's Caution!

[P-40E]

I wonder what that 650 Ti really is? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4U71H85333
I looked and looked at PCB pics of older GPU's and can't find anything similar. Possible it may just be completely fake?

 

[JTristam]

I laughed so hard until my chest hurt:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4B41H38117

@P-40E

judging by the PCB and the 6pin ... i'd say 9800GT

AMD X4 641FM1 quad-core CPU scattered pieces

gosh a FM1 CPU who cost twice the price of my X4 760K FM2 and nearly the price of my A10-7700K FM2+ .... ineed a ban is needed

 

[Ruru]

Yes it looks very much like a custom PCB 8800/9800GT since there is only a single SLI connector.

This is much worse then if it is keyboards with the cord cut off advertised as wireless and fake CPU's again! Looks like Newegg failed to learn from history and is repeating it! Looks like I may have to find another place to buy the FX-8320 and motherboard I want, I do not want to end up with a old AMD Athlon XP 2600+ LOL.

Newegg has had ample time to remove the counterfeits. In my book they failed! And I am starting to wonder about Newegg now. If they really wanted no affiliation wuth scams and frauds they would have removed it already! And that is also how you save face, You don't try to save face by keeping them up on your site, While pretending they might be legitimate by saying they will look into it.

me i do ... my AXP rig have a 2000+ a 2600+ would be perfect! (except at a 8320 price ... )and i pretty much doubt you will have that "problem" ...

This is much worse then if it is keyboards with the cord cut off advertised as wireless and fake CPU's again!

where did you see the keyboard has the cord cut off? (wireless with a USB interface means USB receiver if it was what got your attention... me it's more "front passenger" who got mine") and btw the CPU advertised on the link "Scattered Piece"(raw translation of the Chinese word for Spare parts i guess) isn't fake, over-expensive surely... or you talk about the 920 incident, or the fact that you could receive something else.

you really know how commercial relation works? and how Newegg management works? of course customers reclamation and statement are important but they still have to investigate further, as Ebay does Newegg will enforce the customer's reclamation in case of fraud (also does Neweeg act as a intermediate for various shop like chineses site IE: Aliexpress Banggood or DX.com )

technically the worse is for those who doesn't know the difference between a fake and a real and think they received the real deal.... (and they shouldn't shop online if they are really like that ... only locally and ask advice from a retailer or friends who have at last the basic knowledge in computers) for the "connoisseur" i think once they spot the fraud they risk nothing... and if they order something and receive a fake : Newegg has the obligation to proceed to a refund, replacement or any other.
(see the i7-920 incident)

also as many said in that thread .... look at the seller and avoid chinese brand like Jinruitai ... and shop "newegg only"

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4U71H85338 pop da hood baby

Specs say Screen Size 15"
LMAO

 

[R-T-B]

Newegg today is not newegg from 10 years ago. They were a much better company to deal with back then. I am purchasing more from amazon lately.

Heck it's not newegg from two years ago. They've just been going downhill lately...

 

[kn00tcn]

LOL I still like the Pop the hood GPU HAHAHA! Someone should have got that just for a pure novelty.

actually there is a card or cooler that can be popped open for dust cleaning... forgot the model though, could be an MSI or something, within the last 1-2 years

 

[shovenose]

For what it's worth: I found a fake iPhone being sold on eBay. I called them up, gave them listing number. Also clicking report button on the page. Half an hour later it was down and the seller's account was disabled. Now THAT"s service.

yeah Ebay is rather quick on that kind of case.

 

[Jetster]

I sold the same CPU twice on e bay to two different accounts. The address was the same both times the money was taken back within a couple of hours. Luckily I hadn't shipped it. E bay shut them down with in an hour. Obviously Newegg is getting greedy in trying to be like Amazon.

One was a Galaxy GTX465 and mine are running fine in one of my old systems.

POP IT LIKE IT'S HOT. I'd be scared of that fan coming off and killing my GPU.

I have not had any problems with them and have not heard of any flying off, anywhere.

With my luck, I could change that without trying.

since when do modern gpus (& cpus for that matter) die from not having a fan? i've ran a 9800pro with a dead fan that i didnt realize until system hardlocking in a few UT2k4 matches

i would be more concerned with the fan chopping up things sticking out of the mobo right below the card, they should have had the pivot be on the other side

 

[Ruru]

9800 Pro ran pretty hot even the fan was working, the stock cooler was too undersized. Also 9700 Pro had pretty bad stock hsf, I popped the shim off from my card (the GPU die was a little lower than shim's edges) and installed a Zalman vf700alcu to it, and no more heat problems.

 

[Frag_Maniac]

I like the Egg for transaction service, but their website is out of control. I just got an email today asking me to vote on my WD Black 1TB I just purchased. Haven't even had enough time to put it through it's paces yet. Worse, I was reminded that last time I commented on a GPU I bought, just factually stating my experiences with it and how my calls to MSI about it were handled, I was throttled by Egg's web staff after trying to respond to MSI's comment. MSI had the gall to imply/assume I had a "issues" with my PC, then in the same comment admitted the GPU might be defective. And they never even offered to RMA it for testing. Newegg refused to post my response to them, even though it wasn't hostile at all.

Newegg has a habit of toeing the line for the manufacturer and ignoring customer response on their product comments pages. So naturally I was thinking why should I bother with this voting on the WD HDD. All they care about are glowing remarks that make them look as if all the stuff they sell is golden. Well it ain't that way Egg, wake the F up.

 

[rtwjunkie]

well, the first two items in the original post are gone from the Egg, but the listing page for all the dubious Treasure Bow stuff that came a few posts after that are still up. Looks like they really dug under the hood...

 

[64K]

Yeah, some of the stuff is gone. This is off topic but has anyone noticed that Newegg seems to be losing touch with gamers in general? I follow the price of the EVGA GTX 780Ti looking for a great sale and I've noticed they list the free game Watch Dogs as an $89.99 value. They listed the free game Daylight as an $89.99 value also before that.

It's a knock-off of this card... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814162117 Though Galaxy does make the fans easy to remove like that on some of their cards to make it easier to clean

9800 Pro ran pretty hot even the fan was working, the stock cooler was too undersized. Also 9700 Pro had pretty bad stock hsf, I popped the shim off from my card (the GPU die was a little lower than shim's edges) and installed a Zalman vf700alcu to it, and no more heat problems.

yea i remember a lot of the 9700 and 9600s had a tiny cooler that looked like the one on my Abit NF7-S 2.0's chipset cooler...

so i made sure to get this one from Sapphire, which they still have the newegg page for! in fact... that's the exact card i bought back when i actually owned my NF7-S

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102600

I logged soooo many hours of starcraft, CS1.6, Half Life 2, CS:Source, Halo: CE, and FEAR on that thing. oh, and WarRock Beta.

and so this part of the post is related to the thread... that was back when newegg was good, very good. before they started changing their site layout and such.

 

[Ruru]

Oh boy the NF7's.. Had one running with Zalman NB47J passive heatsink no problems.


In fact I put that NB heatsink to almost every my mobo years ago.

 

[xBruce88x]

it was a tough board. it survived 3 hits from lightning. what finally killed it? a bad bios update from Abit themselves. I was soo sad. but a year or so later i came across another abit nf7-s, but with a purple pcb for some reason. but hey i had my nf7 back I loved EVERYTHING about that board (well except maybe that tiny fan). The nForce 2 Audio was surprisingly very good, along with the LAN even though it was 100mb, but at the time that was all that was needed. but i sold it later since i had already moved on to my ASRock 4CoreDual-VSTA. Yet another tough board. still have it in my grandmother's pc actually. when i finally decide to get her a modern rig (probably just get her a brix from giggabyte) i'll take it back and make an old-school rig with it. I'll track down another 9600xt and throw my voodooII's in it too, and load it up with Win98SE

 

[Ruru]

Soundstorm is the only thing what I'm missing from nForce2.
