Hey, it’s possible the label could be removed or changed during the setup process. Make sure the CPU is properly seated and not damaged. If unsure, check with the seller or consult a technician.

Some individuals smoothed the IHS to create a better base for cooling.

It's just blurred, i can see it at the bottom, not clear though. The thing is you don't need to worry about used cpu even without the markings, if it detected as 1600af, it should be ok. Nobody makes fake CPU.

Fake refers to something that is not genuine or authentic. Mislabeled means incorrectly identified or described. It’s unclear if Linus Torvalds ever had a counterfeit CPU or created videos about it.

They offer "fake" CPUs with misleading IHS markings to show a better spec, yet the BIOS identifies the genuine model. If the BIOS flags it as fake, discard it and request a refund.

Sure, I didn't see that video, but it seems like the attention-grabbing titles help him get noticed.

I have another inquiry: do the QR code displays on the bottom left remain consistent across all 1600AF CPUs? The seller shared an image (captured with my phone camera, which is why it appears as if on a computer), and I noticed some variations. A few looked similar, while one appeared different.
