and the serial number for the product is ADA3500BIBOX. However, they sent me a proc with the serial number ADA3500DIK4BI in the retail box.

Did they try to pull a fast one on me by swapping the chip with an oem and sticking it in a retail box for the hsf? I'm ready to call them and bit*h them out! I'm totally new to AMD and this is my first build so thanks for the advice up front.

I think the BOX is just for their inventory needs, the actual CPU part# won't include the BOX part. the BI is indeed the last part of the #.

I hope this helps you.

Thanks, that's comforting. Is it true though that the retail version oc's better than the oem?

I do not know for certain about that.
I don't even ever recall hearing anything about that, so I am totally uncertain.

but I can say, I wouldn't think that would be possible.. They all come from the same place afterall.
