This is sadly not that surprising, where there's a quick buck to be made, some scum will fill the void.

In a way it's positive that the CPUs won't even fit, as at least this makes it obvious the CPU is wrong - not much consolation if your board gets ruined in the process though I suppose

Is this another plus for soldered IHS, i.e. it would be nearly impossible to pull this trick off?
