Well I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't come across der8auer video (Fake 7800x3d). but I have been sold a fake Ryzen 7800X3D that matched his video exactly.
Watch out people.

Any images?

I do but can't seem to post from my phone. Not sure why it's so hard.

Imgur is over capacity as usual.
Use Imgbb

Edit, loaded.

The one on the right PCB is way too dark. Maybe it's the angle but everything on the IHS looks too dark too.

The one on the left the shade of blue is off. Also no glue on the capacitors.

Both are missing caps around the entire die.

Edit again: Why are you posting a screenshot from a video that means absolutely nothing? W/E goofball YT video this is from, bith look fake.

Take a picture of yours, without that nobody can help you.

The one on the right is a working 7800x3d. I have taken the photos. It not a screen shot.
The real one on the right just looks a bit darker on the photo.

You never have mentioned from where you purchased this CPU.

 

[Mikey229]

It was second hand from a clearance auction company John Pye that are now asking for a report as to why it's fake. Does any one in the UK know someone that can do this?

Have you considered contacting AMD directly?
