Please look at the photo of this pentium pro I recently purchased
http://www.neoqian.com/CPU/Q0872-1.jpeg

I'm suspecting this is a fake one based on:

1. Laser engraves seem weird;

2. By touching the surface of both ceramic and gold top, it is not that cold compare to other pentium pros;

3. weight of this pentium pro feels lighter than other pentium pros.

Please let me know if you need more information.

does the colour of the ceramic match top & bottom?

in daylight.. turn the suspect Pro over
find one of your other Pros that matches the colour of the suspect Pro.

turn back over the suss Pro and compare the colour of the 2 Pros

Do the match?

If not.. the suss one has been recoated

I do know what the answer will be.. but you will need to discover this for yourself

I use my Q0871 as comparison.

I'm now sure it is fake.


Anybody know how to remove the coat?
