Building a new computer over the next two months as I can not afford to get all parts at once. I will be OC'ing and already got the case, PSU, motherboard, and operating system ordered. Next month I'll be getting the CPU/Video card/cpu cooler/memory... followed by the remaining items the month after.

The motherboard I ordered was the A8N32-SLI, for memory I am getting a 2GB OCZ pair. The motherboard is reviewed to OC pretty well all over the web, but since I want to get as much clock for as little price as I can get, that makes Zipzoomfly the best option as they ship to Alaska for only $10 on an entire order on most parts :) But so far I have not heard of anyone's OC'ing stories buying their CPU's from them. Do they ship good 'OC'ers'? Or are they teh suxxor's?

While indeed very true, each chip is different and one day I could get a hot one or a dud. But overall tho, when people shop around for CPU's, they generally go for vendors selling certain batches. Was wondering if the ones sold by zipzoomfly might be of decent batches. If I turn around and order from say... Newegg (or any other online retailer for that matter) I get tacked with a $40-$50 shipping charge to Alaska. Is it worth my taking the risk ordering a CPU from them, or better to go with a different merchant selling 'better' batches?
