    Intel has seriously lost there stuff. They are not being direct with customers. The product is good overall but all the issues are not worth it. I am about to RMA this thing.

    Wrong cpu in box

    I purchased this CPU along with over $4,000 worth of parts to build my 4090 system. When I opened the box, I discovered it contained a 13700K instead. The managers initially tried to claim that I had swapped it out, but I know that’s not the case. I’m writing this because I’ve now seen the same issue happen to someone else at this location—this time with a 5090. Something suspicious is clearly going on here. I had to argue with the managers and was ready to return all $4,000+ worth of items I had opened, which would have forced them to resell everything as open-box and take a loss. After speaking directly with the store owner, they finally agreed to replace the CPU with the correct one, but only because of how much I was going to return. Bottom line: Make sure they open the box in front of you before you leave. The only reason this situation ended fairly for me was because of the amount I had spent.
