NewEgg Ships Counterfeit (Demo) Intel i7 CPU's

Mar 09, 2010 - 10:56 AM - by dapriest

Looks like someone made a big mistake.

Quote:

The pictures below, taken by the unwitting buyers, tell the story. The heatsink had been swapped with a rather crude epoxy or clay like molding of the stock Intel HSF, with a picture of the fan’s top part attached. The CPU was layers of of metal and PCB with a fake IHS on the top and a sticker attached with typical Core i7 information. The box itself was riddled with spelling errors, and to bypass the security seal the box was printed with an “Intel Factory Sealed” sticker look alike with a clear sticker attached over top.

Update (03/05/2010 4:30PM PST) Newegg has released an official statement regarding the incident, attempting explain the ordeal as a shipment of “demo boxes” by a supplier.

Newegg is aware of a shipping error that occurred with certain recent orders of the Intel Core i7-920 CPU. After investigating the issue internally it appears one of our long term partners mistakenly shipped a small number of demo boxes instead of functional units. Our customer service team has already begun proactively reaching out to the affected customers. In line with our commitment to ensure total customer satisfaction, we are doing everything in our power to resolve the issue as soon as possible and with the least amount of inconvenience to our customers.

Bad Company 2 Maintenance Until 3AM USA

Mar 05, 2010 - 5:04 PM - by dapriest

Looks like we won't be playing tonight.

MAJOR MAINTENANCE- GAME BACK AT 3 AM USA/ 8AM FR - Battlefield Bad Company 2 PC - Battlefield Bad Company 2: EA Forums

Quote:

English translation (from Google)

"Hello, This message is to inform you that EA currently operates maintenance on their master server, which should help overcome the bugs experienced by many. This maintenance is already underway and to help accelerate the process EA asked all providers to close a total of 40 000 slots.
We will close our public servers but if you want to lend a hand to their technicians working day and night since the game's release, we ask you to consider the option of stopping your server the game panel, and this up at the end of this maintenance *.
Note that this is not an obligation but rather a boost that can voluntarily choose to give them. We all hope that this will end the problems of crashes BFBC2.

* End of maintenance: 3am America / 9h am / France "
----------------------------------------

As you are aware from discussions on the forums, we have been having server load issues over the past few days which has affected game performance and even game stability for some players. As part of reducing server load we asked all our server hosts to shut down the EA Public servers while we work at optimizing the server browser in game to handle the large amounts of servers. Also as part of this server load cut backs, we have requested that the server providers do not put up anymore clan/rented servers either. This decision was made to reduce the impact on you guys when you are in game from affects such as slow server browser refresh, inaccurate server information refreshing and some of the other issues you have been seeing.

The server hosts can still take your orders and answer your questions but until we have made changes to keep server load down they won't be able to fill your order and put up your servers.

So you all don't worry about whether this means you can't get into a server be assured, there is enough server capacity to allow everyone to get into a server and play. It might not be your favourite server or server provider but you can still get in there and get dogtags from someone new.
Thanks for your patience and we hope to allow the hosts to put up servers again for you all as soon as possible.
