I'm planning on installing a pair of Titan RTX cards into the case, and I'm pretty sure the fans it came with aren't going...

    Are these Intel i350-t4 cards all fake?

    I need to purchase an i350-t4 and just wanted to make sure I have this correct. Are all Intel i350-t4 cards without "Delta" embossed on the transformers, or TXC on the crystal, fakes? I just wanted to double check, because if this is the case, then the majority of cards on eBay seem to be fakes...
