Topic: Worrying find. Posted: 08 Feb 2020 at 3:44pm |
So my new system arrived yesterday. I decided to open it today to inspect it for damage since the window is seven days, and I won't actually be trying to set it up to be the new computer until my five days off which starts near the end of next week. In the accessories box was a small plastic CPU case with a Ryzen 9 sticker in it. I ordered a i9 9900k processor. I already emailed support about it, sadly at a time they're closed, so I guess I have to wait until they respond. Anyone else run into similar problems? I'm not taking the system out of the box until I hear from them. No point in doing that, considering how much it weighs, if I'm just going to be sending it right back.
Edit : For future reference if somebody finds this don't worry about the CPU being wrong until you power up the system and check. They use clam shells to protect CPUs before installation and sometimes the one they use isn't what the CPU is. They also don't normally ship it, per customer service which responded pretty damn fast. Panic after you find out in dxdiag that the CPU isn't what you ordered. lol Edited by RaptorRed - 08 Feb 2020 at 4:10pm |

So per your edit I'm guessing you actually checked your CPU as opposed to just materials in the box?

Yes. I finally got the computer up and running. As far as I can tell the processor is what I ordered and it's just as customer service said.
