Clarification on PCS overclocked systems

[jambos]

Hi, just wondering what PCS do with overclocked systems in terms of testing the overclocked settings?

For example, see the spec below. Does this mean that the components ordered will have achieved 4.6GHz "out of the box"? Or do I need to invest the time to research what components I need to reach stable 4.6?

Other websites have pre-configured overclocked systems or bundles, but it's not clear if PCS do this. Maybe there's some documentation on the PCS site?

Cheers

If you order it overclocked then the clock rate will be as signes, 4.6Ghz out of the box, the overclock will already be applied.

Mine has a nice steady overclock of 4.5mhz - I mean ghz obviously lol

up to 4.6GHz, it could be lower

As mentioned before and in the description it's self. UPTO
Even though the components are technically the same each machine will tolerate the overclock slightly differently, 4.6 is not guaranteed as it may be unstable, so they test and overclock it to the highest stable clock they can so as mentioned by jerpers, they got a 4.5Ghz clock, you may get a 4.4Ghz, you may get 4.6Ghz. It all depends what is stable. It will be pointless giving you a machine they have forced a 4.6Ghz clock on but it crashes every 5mins, so you will always get the highest stable clock.
