 |
|
i noticed something not right in my database, when adding a SL39Z Celeron 400 SEPP into my database 
It was the only Malay produced SEPP package using a L as the plant code.. all the others used 9
So decided to check it more closely & noticed that the text panel had been remarked.
So long story short... after playing with the text panel my Malay made 400/100 turned into a Costa Rica made 266/66 
Not wanting to play with the text panel too much.. but i suspect it is a large die cap NO Cache SL2YN
I will get around to testing it as soon as possible.. to see if the fakers managed to able the cache.. or just didnt care

Looks like the label was taped over the real text?
Did you remove it all the way to see the original print?

the second pic is as far as i went for now... rather than destroy all the fake markings.
I can make out just thru the text panel... ICA (for Costa Rica) following the fake MALAY

| There is no such thing as Celeron 400 with 100MHz FSB. |

You don't expect a fake to use either an incorrect clock or bus speed, so it is easy to overlook it. I'm going to check these in future. Good lesson
