When did 8 Pack start offering pre-binned CPU on ********

Hey when did 8 pack jump ship or is ******** copying and pasting from Overclockers site.

In testing we have found overclockability pretty promising on the Coffee Lake series, of course on K series products only and we shall be offering 8 Pack pre-binned processors from launch on 8700K.

This is on there 8600k Listing

Looks like a classic case of copy paste

dowie · 31 Oct 2018 at 16:29

you might want to report this to OCUK directly since the competitor link is censored, blatantly a copy and paste by a rival

Any hint which site it is wouldn't mind a gander.

robj20 · 31 Oct 2018 at 16:35

Actually if you Google 8 pack pre binned. There are loads of sites selling them.

edit - I'll retract my "ripping off" accusation if as below they're possibly reselling chips they're bought from OCUK

edit.

It's an easy way to gouge prices more, everyone's getting in on it.

Thekwango · 31 Oct 2018 at 16:49

or you know, OcUK could have actually sold them to them?

Glanza · 31 Oct 2018 at 16:51

People buy from OCUK then sell them on, nothing new here.

I'm pretty sure Caseking are a supplier to said company, from what I recall when I spoke to one of casekings reps a couple of years ago

Yeah.

The rep was telling me caseking is more of a distributor to the industry, while overclockers is aimed at the public. This was at some trade show a couple of years ago.

Well, the store page is certainly easier to navigate than the updated nightmare that is ocuks

DampCat · 31 Oct 2018 at 22:26

Well, long story short, wanted cod4 for a customers build, OCuk couldn’t help as they don’t have the same offer on

Yeah I understand the business side of it, but N are direct completion to OCUK this looks like a copy and paste and I was under the impression the 8 pack line was direct only with OCuK.
