So yea like you said, sales won't be that high, then head office will be like naaaah OC boards don't sell. But if they made P67A-OC i think it would have been #1 seller at this moment |
Right. See when the Rampage Extreme came out the X58 hadn't launched. Now the OC board has a competing platform to go up against that gives you more points for the buck. Plus even when X58 launched it was slow at 01 which still made the Rampage an awesome board to own. SB destroys s1366 in 01 and is way too expensive to play Vantage and 06. If Gulftown was stronger in a wider variety of benches then things could/would change a little bit. As of right now I just don't see too many self-funded overclockers (ie; actually buy the OC boards) willing to shell out $1000 for the CPU + buy the board to score in just two benches. Why do that when you can buy a nice SB setup for the price of the locked i7 970 and pwn a majority of benches on hwbot?
