This thing was brought up by a Hong Kong overclocker name Lau Kin Lam, where the victim mentioned that the fake CPU was sold at a 'not-cheap' price.
Last time was the fake Skylake, now Coffee Lake pun ada. doh.gif

Do you notice the box looks like the 7700k? The retail box of 8700k is purplish black. The finishing of the processor heatspreader looks kind of different than the usual intel processor. Uhh, we really need to be careful and buy the processor from legal shops better.
