***Ultimate i7 Bundle £499,99 Inc VAT***

It's not actually a bad deal for people who are not into overclocking...there paying a a difference of £12.45 for a system that's overclocked and stable

(well stable as long as the buyer uses the same system specs OC are using in their test system that is.... PSU included)

If you bought this system separately it would cost you £496.72 that's with shipping (cheaper if your a forum member) £509.17 if you buy this bundle...all in all its an excellent deal.

Exactly the idea. BTW the settings are already done in BIOS so its literally plug and play. ;) PSU etc have been taken into account and 3.33GHz tested on a number of PSU's. The test rigs were put through Prime from 5:30 last night and were still running sweet at 9:00 this morning.

As we said, the hard work has been done for you....just enjoy the performance :D

we have been using the bundle with a tuniq tower today - just to get a basis for comparison for the gelid cooler

the tuniq is reaching the same temps as the gelid


i know from clocking 920's to 3.3ghz on other bundles that the temps are in the same region as the akasa nero and about 8'c warmer than the noctua

not bad for a £20 HSF

considering we have compared it to £40+ heatsinks that perform within 10'c

He speaks the truth ;)
 
Yeah, I don't see the point of all the bashing going on here. Sure, you could get X number of different parts and overclock it yourself, but for the inexperienced builder/user, it's a good deal. I know I'd have appreciated it back in the day when I put my first machine together.

Thats exactly the point of this bundle mate. :)

Hit the nail on the head :D
 
its not bad value tbh but i think i'm gonna get a Q9650 for my next upgrade, I heard they beat the I7 for gaming and i'm a little dissapointed with the range of options for I7 processors.
 
Its good, but the cooler looks a bit rubish!!...........;):D:p

Sorry!

it looks nice, if only i'd not just brough a 4870x2 i might have thought about it. oh well next month maybe!
 
I'm very interested in this getting this bundle, but I may opt for buying a better CPU cooler, but I have a few questions if one of you guys at OcUK could help me (or anyone else).

1: would this system with these new i7's and 6 Gb ram work fine with windows Xp? or are there some compatibility problems? or would my performance be bottle necked by XP? I really don't want to move to Vista yet, but could do if required.

2: Please can you recommend the best standard ( as in loudness) air cooler for this setup, -I don't want one with a really loud fan on ideally no louder than my current system which has an old alaska arctic freezer pro 7 (I think) lol yes I'm on a 4200 X2 939 hence the upgrade!!

3: I have a Corsair TX650 PSU would this be suitable / handle these components easily? I run a 8800GT.

thanks for your help.
 
1. Yes it will work fine but you will not able to use all the memory if its xp 32 bit
2.Noctua NH-U12P SE1366
3. yes will be fine
 
Sorry if I've missed the post, but how far can you OC the I7 in this bundle? Alright yeah, all chips are different, but how far could you go without melting the thing :P
