Ironically, as I browse this forum, I've never been bothered about overclocking, its just never taken my interest, hence my current Q6600 remaining completely stock.
So joy, as OCuK have pre-overclocked bundles, saves me the hassle. However as I want 8GB of RAM in the system, they warn that it'll reduce the overclock speed. So I messaged one of the OCuK boffins, who tells me its for system safety, but I'll notice more difference with the extra RAM than the 3.3 -> 4.4 overclock as it "isn't much difference"
Firstly, really? I would have thought it was, as thats about a 25% increase. Secondly, does extra RAM really have that much effect?
But most importantly, whats the point if OCuK selling pre-OC'd bundles with extra RAM option, when, if you select their offered RAM increase, it practically obliterates the overclock?
This isn't a moan, I'm just don't understand. If I want 8GB of RAM, am I better off just buying them seperate and looking into OC'ing it myself at a later date??
