Counterfeit DFI Motherboards Surface In Indonesia

Posted by kdawson on from the wonder-whose-chips-those-are dept.

crazyeyes writes "Those crazy counterfeiters have done it again. First they made counterfeit Intel boxed processors, now they are counterfeiting DFI motherboards! Quoting: 'The detail to the packaging, documentation and the motherboard printing really makes you wonder if the people responsible for this have only limited their activities to DFI motherboards. It's quite possible that there are fake ASUS or Gigabyte motherboards in the market as well.'" Update: 04/15 12:59 GMT by Z : As noted in the comments, the articles offer no speculation as to the origins of the counterfeits. Updated to clarify that.

    Wouldn't these companies be producing chips whether they were getting paid or not? Real chipmakers do it because it's what they love to do.

    I wasn't going to pay full price for a super-duper chip anyway. It's not like they lost a sale on me.
