If it's the one of the models that has been reduced ring them up tomorrow mention it took ages to ship and that there has been a £100 reduction in the products price ;)
 
Just pulled the trigger on one of those Leadteks, anyone know how well they clock? :D

I got a leadteck back in august/september when they were similarly priced, not had any issues with mine, seems a decent overclocker, running at 675/1250/1450 at the mo, i think it would likely hit 700/1300/1500, but i expect the fan would have to be turned up quite high and i find the noise above 70% fan speed to be quite intrusive so i settled on my first set of figures
 
I'm sitting here hoping for that order confirmation email, I have a day off tomorrow so I'm free to potentially play with new toys.
 
So will my Corsair HX620 be ok with this? I dont have an 8pin PCIE connector, is there one in the box or anything?

Yeah, I thought Corsair were providing 8-pin cable adaptors for customers who had the older PCI-e 1.0 PSUs on request. I got one for my Enermax Liberty but had to pay for it (only a couple of quid though).
 
Very tempting. I have a 4850 right now running 1680x1050 which cant quite max everything (although it does very well). I could flog that at a good price so in reality it would only cost me about £150 for that BFG (ish).
