Intel i7 880 CPU

If you feel it should be, write a thread about it in 'Product Suggestions' forum. There was a case they weren't doing, asked them about it and they were quick to add it to their list.
 
Probably not much demand for it, especially when you consider you can get the 860 for half the price which will easily overclock to 880 speeds and way beyond!
 
Yeah but the same can be said for the 870 and the 930 ?
Why are they so much more expensive ?

Because you'll always get people who have no idea or no inclination to overclock and just buy the fastest they can afford, unwittingly thinking that it must be loads quicker because the price is higher, sounds daft but I guess some people are ;)

the 930's different

with the 930 you get double the PCIe lanes, better enthusiast support, more memory and they usually overclock better than the 800's

it's why most people who can afford the extra £100 will go for a 9xx over an 8xx
 
Then again, why did they remove the 920 D0 from there site?, ATM I got about an £800 order racked up, but because there prices are fluctuating by the hour from major highs and low, I don't think ill bother with a lot of bits from them. : /

I was meaning the 930 over the 920 when a 920 can be overclocked to the same speed etc

cos the 920 was replaced by the 930 and the low 920 prices were to get rid of them

I was kinda tempted to get one when they were at £142 (for me) but later 9xx's don't clock as well as earlier batches in that revision

Yea im just going for the 930 now anyway, just finalising my gpu choice :confused:
 
the 920 was up last month for 200, i knew it was my last chance to get a D0 stepping one and my last chance to get an i7 for 200, as the 930 was like 260, so i leapt on it, they won't be back on ocuk now, EoL see.
