I am totally agree with you. OC should be ashamed of themselves, all the greedy management is due to make a profit of an extra £150 !!!
I disagree with charging customers of from 3.80Ghz to 4.20Ghz for an extra £150 is really ridiculous rip off.
I am sure many buyers will avoid this to make overclockers to re-think again - never mind the high exchange rates.
I don't want to be rude or bullying overclockers but I just shocked and can't believe my own eyes with this silly prices.
the 4.2 bundle is cherry picked
the best performing chips that can do 4.2 go into them
they come with a top end air cooler [prolimatech megahalems]
also - the testing and time that goes into the overclocking means that ocuk must charge more
it simply is not good business to have one technicians day taken up by one over the top bundle
the price is prohibitive to avoid me having to do 50+ a week
it would be impossible
due to the rarity of low voltage 920 chips, i probably see 2 a week that would do it
i overclock all the bundles on my own and spend a lot of my free time supporting customers who have purchased one
the price reflects the time that each bundle takes the technician
3.8 is easy
4ghz, a little harder
4.2ghz is for people who want the best
not every chip will do 4.2 on air
the ones that do are recieving extra attention
plus you get a £50 cooler rather than a £30 cooler
its stil LESS money than an i7 975 - for a FASTER full bundle
