I just noticed this, but the AMD Phenom II 965 BE is missing the certificate
of authenticity. What I got looks like the following pictures:

.. . . the cpu in the pictures is different but the outside of the box has
the green sticker, as in pics 1 & 2, and the manual has no 'Certificate of
Authenticity', pic #5 is how the manual looks.

I always copy the model number from the top of the CPU and check it on AMD's
website. Also, cpu-z says it is the model I ordered. There wouldn't be
much point in faking it but I wonder if the CPU ended up in the reject pile
but some Chinese manager said to box it anyway (cost cutting)?

Does the chip run? If it runs, it's not a reject, at least from your
point of view.

I'm sure you're familiar by now on how chips are rated at a higher
clock speed anyway: the 'good' chips (from the same factory) get a
higher rating, while the 'defective' chips (assuming they run of
course) also from the same semiconductor fab factory, get the lower
rating.

I found these videos, recent AMD unboxings, no COA:

Mine didn't come with one. It came from a reputable source.
