£200 for a 3570k. Very Surprised.

How come the price for this just seems to be going up?
Not a very competitive price at the moment, as a quick search reveals.

Jesus that happened quickly

Woah!! What's happening? :eek:

Does seem like it's risen a fair bit. Just had a look at my ocuk order history. Paid £189.99, (incl shipping) for mine in sep 2012. But ive seen it a bit lower than that on ocuk lately. Possible currency exchange rate fluctuations? 3770k seems to be the same price though?

teenwolf · 25 Feb 2013 at 21:03

because AMD are crap and can't compete against intel

yeah dollars probably up as all pc parts are in dollars i believe

also pc parts like memory are on the up at the moment.

Idleman · 25 Feb 2013 at 21:06

I know they ran out of stock the other week(not for long though), but the price only seems to have gone up today.
Don`t think this is only limited to the 3570k, looks like all the Intel Cpus have gone up in price.

Ocuk told us a few months ago that memory prices would would continue to increase, so the prices were not unexpected.
Just looked at the price for the 2500k, that is now £180, £15 more than I paid over 18 months ago.

Could it something to do with Haswell ? i.e. reduction in Ivy's production ?

Rofflay · 25 Feb 2013 at 21:53

Yea got someone looking at a new build soon too but damm ocuk whats with the price tag?

I can only find this price increase at ocuk everyone else seems to have the old price.

I paid £170 a few months ago.

Subliminal Aura · 25 Feb 2013 at 22:03

Blooming heck !

I could probably swallow £150 but no way is this chip worth £200.... I better go and check Xeon prices as I've got some purchases to make

Maybe OCUK had to buy new stock at a higher price? :confused:
