Hi,
Firstly to say this is not intended to be inflammatory or designed to turn people away from OC UK, which is one reason why I'm not naming the 3rd party vendor.
However, recently I've noticed that OC UK appears to be becoming expensive. I'm not sure why this whether, OC have taken their eyes off the ball or if they've just made a conscious decision not to compete.
Checking out 4 products tonight vs another well known specialist vendor, (not Amazon or an Auction Site), reveals the other vendor is £60 cheaper over just 4 items. That's a large difference and over the full component list of a full build, which in my list is 13 items, is likely to increase substantially further to £100-200.
So as to not be completely nontransparent, the products compared were:
1. An Air Cooler, I'm not naming this one as it's currently out of stock here.
2. Ryzen 3700x
3. ROG Crosshair VIII Hero MB
4. AORUS 1TB NVME PCIE GEN4 M.2 SOLID STATE DRIVE
Most of those are quite mainstream products. I just wondered whether OC could shed any light on why the difference has arisen and whether they intend to be competitive going forward or if there is a decision to tread their own path.
