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.

drjones666 I built my i7-920 (stock clock speed 2.67GHz) and overclocked it to 3.8GHz with fans only. And I paid only $350 for my CPU!Reply -
noodlegts Honestly I think some people with more money than time could buy that just because overclocking so high takes a lot of effort and also a 4.3GHz factory overclock covered under warranty is pretty cool actually.Reply
I've overclocked my own 920 to 4.36 or so, but I could see how this would appeal to some. -

Yes... definetely! But if your interested in buying this kind of rig then you must know something about computers, and probably know how to build one.
