its not. the website simply says that it guarantees that it can be overclocked OOB to XXXX MHz

for prozac26 : The processor can be overclocked out of the box by simply connecting specific pins in it increasing the voltage of it , a full tutorial for this is found on VR-zone check it if you want , or that what i understood from the site .

if so why the difference in the price ?

well, the stuff is just more expensive overhere in europe. especially in germany. 195 euros is about 255 US which is ok. I got my E6300 for 232 bucks (box version) and that was the best deal in Moscow.

I'll make you a deal.... I'll sell you any Core2due chip you like, any model, and speed, for $100 more than the going rate.. and I'll guarantee it will do at least 2 speed grades better than the rated speed..

E6300 ... all the way to 2.4 ghz... ya... I'd win that bet

i wasn't aware Russia was part of Europe. though, joining the EU would almost certainly be beneficial to your CPU prices! but that's a whole 'nother matter.

EU and Europe are different things, FYI. The part of Russia officially considered to be Europe extends way east to the Ural Mountains.

Stay with us for more geography trvia.


But that's fine.
You know what the best deal on 8800 GTS is around here? $590 (EVGA). Grrrrrrrhhh... I think its gonna be cheaper to order it from some online store in US that ships overseas by DHL.

They have taken the processors out of the box and tested the max attainable stable overclock on a known good board. They are adding a markup for the better clockers.
