I've noticed a great many cpu's for sale recently and its always the same thing, water cooled, high end motherboard (rampages etc) and then the magic words "never been overclocked".
Am i just getting old and cynical when i cry B.S ? . In the past I've bought 2 "never been overclocked" cpu's and both were total lemons as if they have been thrashed within an inch of their silicon. One was a 4930k that was unstable at stock volts the other was a 5930k that couldn't even reach 4ghz and died soon afterwards (luckily intel replaced it and the replacement was as good as gold).
Your thoughts ?
