Isn't K-series targets espetially the "enthusiast" crowd? After all it seems that mainstream K-series is going to be pretty affordable and makes the "enthusiast" life much easier.
Also theres nothing new in SB limited overclocking. I mean this is not because the overclocking is locked on the chip level, but because the lack of appropriate PCI-e multipliers inside the cpu. There was chipset in the past without appropriate AGP multipliers and this didn't stop a real enthusiast from an overclocking, it just was a bit harder job. I mean overclocking these days is not what it was some time ago.
