Just seen a listing on ebay selling what are alleged to be "factory fault" 9900k's for £100. The substrate and ihs is on the chip but there's no actual die under the heat-spreader. It appears to be a perfectly functional 9900k from the outside. You need to delid the cpu to see there's no actual die under the IHS. Anyone any ideas as to why people would want to buy these? Perfectly obvious why but be interesting to see some theories.
He's already sold 21 of these, i'm guessing Amazon are gonna be getting a glut of "doa" 9900k's via rma pretty soon after the swap out is done.
