Question I7-8086K wrong or fake

[wangelov]

Hello, everyone.
A few days ago I bought I7-8086K. When I turned it on, CPU-Z showed as Pentium Gold G5400 !!! In BIOS too. The motherboard is a MSI B360M MORTAR. The question is where the problem the motherboard is wrong or the processor is wrong or is fake ?

Your CPU-Z version 1.81 was released in September 2017.

The i7-8086K was released in June 2018.

Try updating your CPU-Z to the latest version (1.87) and see if it still reads that way.

Yeah, do that, but...

In BIOS too.

... in BIOS too? Sounds like an ebay fake to me.

Edit: Update your mobo BIOS too.

And why are you using an 8086K CPU, in a B360M Mortar mobo? You know that a B360 won't let you overclock the (unlocked) CPU that you own, right?

O'k, but in BIOS again is pentium G5400! This si 2 different CPU .

Run the CPU-Z benchmark. That should tell you if it's in the ballpark of an 8086K or not.

When I bought the motherboard I thought to buy I7-8700, but then I think . I will change the motherboard, but now I want to know where the is a problem . BIOS updated with the latest version after seeing this, but nothing changed . They are not from ebay, they are a warranty , and I will return them.

wang love? Come on son.

 

[RichUK]

Sounds like a fake. Ouch.

 

[dark zero]

Where did you bought it?
It seems to be a big fake.

 

[EXCellR8]

The price should be the smoking gun...

 

[wangelov]

ok, but I check warranty infrmation in Intel website and everything is fine

 

[LTC8K6]

Benchmark it with the CPU-Z benchmark tab and see if it performs like it should.

 

[teejee]

Have you run a benchmark yet? Especially a multithreaded benchmark will reveal directly if this is a 8086K or not.

Edit: a bit late

 

[wangelov]

I check with CPU-Z

 

[DrMrLordX]

No way that's an 8086k. 4 Threads? Cmon. Hell I benched my 1800x @ 4 GHz with 4 threads and got an MT score of 1792.1 . There's no way an 8086k scores 1121.3 even restricted to 4 threads.

You have a Pentium.

 

[VirtualLarry]

You have a Pentium.

Yup. That's definitely a dual-core with HT score.

 

[wangelov]

I think so !

They have changing the cap .

 

[Shmee]

Time to try to return it or get a refund.

 

[wangelov]

I gave it back, now I'm waiting for the money

 

[wangelov]

I gave it back, But now I check CPUID - Intel® Pentium® Gold G5400 is 906EB , BIOS show 906EA, Intel® Core™ Processor i7-8670, i7-8670T, i7-8700, i7-8700K is 906EA

 

[LTC8K6]

Did you ever check for a BIOS update for your board?

 

[wangelov]

Yes . This is the first thing I did after seeing the problem.

 

[LTC8K6]

There are 2 different G5400 chips, I believe.

A 2 core die 54 watt version and a cut down 4 core die 58 watt version.

I gave it back, now I'm waiting for the money

of course the real question we are all dying to know.. where did you get it! they are most likely going to sell it again to someone else.

 

[wangelov]

Hello ,
after the refunded my money, yesterday I bought another I7-8086K from another store
and now everything is fine. Obviously the processor is FAKE !
