Origin PC Overclocks 6-Core i7-980X to 4.3GHz
Get your Gulftown hexacore action on with the factory overclocked 4.3GHz Core i7 980X option.
If having the fastest 'stock' desktop processors in the newly released Intel Core i7-980X "Gulftown" isn't good enough for you, then perhaps gaming PC maker Origin PC has the answer for you.
While an additional $895 will buy for your Origin Genesis PC a regular 3.33 GHz Core i7-980X, forking over a full $1,044 will unleash the full beast overclocked to 4.3 GHz. If you've ever wanted to boast that your six-cores runs a gigahertz faster than those "other guys" at stock speeds, this could be what you're looking for.

Where's the fun in buying it pre-done? apart from the warranty of course...
Is that supposed to be impressive?
for that money i want to play with OC myself
+$50 for the Core i7 930? Was fairly sure it was a same price replacement from Intel?? Seems like these jokers are a bit of a rip-off merchants
$149 for an overclock? Wow.
6 cores at 4.3Ghz...
I'm sure at one point, a Pentium III was considered fast and came at a high cost too!
I have this processor in my rig at the moment, very very fast. Boots up to the windows desktop in under 5 seconds. Thats with a 64x corsair ssd. Not to mention what else it does.
