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

[baz_]

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]

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]

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

 

[dowie]

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

 

[dowie]

edit.

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

 

[Thekwango]

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

 

[Glanza]

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.

 

[NoobCannon]

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

 

[DampCat]

Why were you browsing there in the first place op?!

OcUK also provide distribution to other UK etailers.

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.
