I just received my X6 1055T today and I have a few concerns. The box was completely sealed. The box and HSF look very different than I had previously seen in unboxings on Youtube. The fan has no AMD sticker on it and the blades are a completely different design, as is the copper plate on the bottom and the way it connects to the heat pipes. Also, the boxes label location is slightly different from the review. Another thing that strikes me as odd is the AMD Vision label is a sticker, and it's crooked too. And the box the HSF came in was brown, and not white like every review shows.
Edit: I should note that I covered the serial numbers. They are indeed there on the box and processor.
Another issue is the certificate of authenticity does not have a sticker in it. It just has a blank box that says to record the serial number in.
I searched and found a post someone made in another forum, who has the EXACT same issues and also got it from Newegg. Even down to the issue of a slight fingerprint in the thermal pad already applied.

Was this just a packaging change? Should I contact AMD and see if this is legitimate?
Here is a link to the review to compare:
