Six Pipe Wraith Coolers not Genuine

[moproblems99]

Saw an article a while back saying the wraiths were getting updated with 6 heat pipes instead of four. AMD has something interesting to say about that.

It has come to our attention that third-party coolers using six heat pipes that are designed to look like an official AMD Wraith Prism solution, including the illegitimate use of AMD branding, are now entering the market. Please be aware that those solutions are not genuine AMD products and have not been tested and validated by AMD to meet our build quality and performance requirements. We are actively investigating the source of these products and will take necessary actions to enforce our rights to ensure users receive genuine AMD products. If you have any questions about the origin of a cooler, please verify the solution here.

Being completely honest here, I'm not at all surprised by this. What I am surprised at, however, is that this bootlegging didn't happen sooner -- or maybe it did? I'm just going by my experience, and this is the first I've heard of Chinese bootleg AMD wraith coolers.

At first I thought they were being boxed with cpus but I am not sure now. I can't find the other article to see what it said.
