If 8 Pack selling LN2 3770K CPU that do 5.2GHz with air then it will sold out pretty fast! First serve, first come! Oh dear me!
No.
A new chip is a new chip, regardless of whether it is RETAIL or OEM. It will not have been used before. OCuk care plenty about their reputation, I'm sure, and this sort of thing would put them in a lot of trouble.
They probably get OEMs for their system builds, bin them and allocated them across the system builds based on performance.

Why do you need 5Ghz?
Can you not clock 3770k to 5k on water? I know little about Ivy.
lnoton mate i am cpu bound with sandy at 5ghz in 3d gaming....
Thats why i cant wait for proper tests. If it does 5ghz or more on water i am buying one instant.... If not then o well gotta live with 23fps in some games :/ Even if i would buy freeking Titan i would still have 23fps cause 2 cores are on 100% and other are at 60-70 while gaming and gpu load 56%.......

5GHz is not fastest enough. I want 6GHz! 
Ill post some screenshots when i get back from work 
When you got 25 players blowing all those AOE attacks on lets say 20 monsters at once on your screen LOADS of calculations required.
Going from phenom 6 core @4.3 to sandy 5ghz gave me 12 fps cause. I had 3-5fps sometimes on my phenom with 5% gpu load :/

Surely a 3570k at 4.5 is within a whisker performance wise of a 2500k
And would use less power too

Hey, I believe...no reason not to. Just didn't think they were that! CPU intensive.

and be delidded in 10mins
Seriously though if OCuk offered a more aggressive range of pre-tested parts/bundles/systems I think that would distinquish itself from other retailers. Clearly 5Ghz is the physiological barrier for many given the past performance of SB.
Whilst you are perfectly correct to point out the benefits of Stong CPUs and silicon, I personally think you are wrong to apply those benefits to retail customers if they can't get their hands on them not being is a position to pick and choose.

+1. This may change though. We can hope.

That stunning multicore optimization .........
Problem is that TRI Def Software does not support 64 bit games..... Even tho wow does have 64bit client where my FPS 150+

What resolution you running? and are you set to use the DX11 engine and 64bit client? If you use recount you can get a big FPS boost by deleting it.
I ask because I have a i7 3820 clocked at 4.5GHz (which for WoW purposes is obviously inferior to a 5GHz 2500K), a GTX670 FTW (previously a HD7950B), and play at 2560x1080. And I am running with everthing on maximum including AA and yet don't have any problem, 10m is silky smooth and and although FPS drops in 25m with all the shinies flying its never enough to make me take note.
I did LFR P3 last night which is the most GFX intensive part and had no issues.

They can get there hands on them. Buy and test, buy and test. As I did before I worked at OCUK. I was top ten world wide bencher before OCUK days and binned chips myself by buying.
