Hopefully Linus can cover this apparently some people have been buying coffee lake cpu and delidding it and delidding it with a Celeron cpu. They are able to reseal with package with a heat gun and you would never know. Since the cover is still from the coffelake processor. But once you take it out it it split from the chip and cover.

Arent there model numbers on the green part of a CPU? You can check the CPU's model through that number in Intel's site.

They use the coffeelake lid so I assume that most people don't pay attention to it. Especially retaillers and you can buy it from a retailer that sells you those chips.

As long as you’re not buying them from Wish, or any site like that for the matter, you’ll be fine. Always check the buyer reviews and ratings if you’re going third party. If they are being fulfilled by the main company (Sometimes Amazon helps fulfill orders) then you’d definitely be good to go. They’re also really good with return policies.
