I've found generally that you get treated on how you treat people so maybe it's Karma :) And yes, I remember you :D

(and this isn't the first OcUK forum, some of us were here in the old *old* days ;))


Onwards and upwards for OcUK, long may it continue!!!! :cool:

Do you think the forums are ok nowadays?

If so then stop dwelling on the past! You cared enough to re-register so you want to be back here for one reason or another. Forget the bad and enjoy the fun / make use of the info that can be had on these boards :)
 
Yes, OCUK can be pricey, compared to competition.

However, being a member on here, getting free delivery, usually evens the prices out or beats the competition. Plus, OCUK has a far better customer support (with their staff active in the forum) and the staff know what they are selling and what they are talking about.

I don't religiously shop with OCUK, however I always recommend them because of their excellent service and great support network in this forum.

And finally, who else sends you free Haribo with an order?

Well since 5UB is stalking this thread.

May i ask a question ?

If i order today https://www.overclockers.co.uk/infi...erclocked-watercooled-dream-pc-fs-462-oe.html

What are the chances of getting it before Xmas ? :D

Sure, it is possible but due to the modding on that PC it may not. Hard for us to guarantee that PC could be done for Christmas. - We've recently updated the Empress, and we can guarantee this one can be there for Christmas.

Maybe a system you like also? :)
 
Some people just like to take every opportunity to moan.

Yes, overclockers are not always the cheapest, but the reason I buy all my pc stuff here is that I don't mind paying a bit more for decent customer service. I have always had an excellent response whenever I have needed it.

In fact, I can give you an example that happened recently.

I, like many other, order the 8pack 6700k bundle last week. Again, like others, it was going to be shipped on Friday. The fact that I got a free upgrade to Saturday delivery was good in itself.

Anyway, package arrives, but no extension cables for fan. Not a big deal, one phone call and it is arranged to arrive on Monday. Then I discover that the NZXT H440 case I also got had a big hole in the side of the packaging and a dent in the side panel. Another call to Overclockers. Without any fuss, a replacement was sent out for Sunday, along with my missing cables, and a DPD collect was arrange to pick up the old case on Monday.

Had the same thing happened elsewhere, I am pretty sure I wouldn't have received my bundle until Monday, would then have had to return the case so they can check it before sending out a replacement.

So, as long as this level of service continues, I am going to keep buying my stuff here.

Ok, so I have brown nosed so much that I want some discounts :p:D

I remember you too. :)

As already mentioned, the company has a changed a lot and for the better and I am one of the longest standing members of staff here along with Telescopi, though I did take a near 2yr break.

I think by the response you can see things and people have changed for the better.
 
Agree with the comments mentioned here, I've not been here that long comparatively speaking but the community is so varied and supportive I find it hard to leave!

As such I have got others introduced to OcUK and, being a teacher, various students into PC building and modding through OcUK and the knowledge I have gained here.

Side note - I was hooked the moment Bailey sorted out a broken fan on my strix 970 (my fault entirely and remember feeling like crap when it happened but utter relief when he sorted it) but rather than dwell on the broken graphics card we ended up chatting about his Audi TT in his sig! (does he still have it?) Top guy!

Anyway, not wanting to sound like a fanboy but this is by far the best tech shop/community I have come across! Long may it continue

He still has it!
Though I keep telling him he needs to upgrade for the RS version. :D
 
I've been here a long time, although don't post all that much. I've been reading longer than my join date and yea OcUK has changed, but it wasn't that bad. The place was just a little more on the edge and unpredictable with some unique characters that made the forums a joy to read. Now, although a lot more friendly I just find the reading experience a little too sedate - where have the Penskis, GTAs, Angus Higgins and Broadbands gone?! All we have left is Magnolia and his man crush of Michael Cera.

I remember OcUK were absolutely terrible about a decade ago when I boycotted them, but after a friend of a friend said they had gotten better I returned and haven't looked back. The service is without a doubt some of, if not the best in the industry (*TwsT). The prices can be higher, as well as lower, than other places but never by that much, and places with comparable service do appear to be more expensive.
