*OVERCLOCKED* Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66Ghz @ 4.00GHz + Free Game

Received mines & installed, everything's working fine so far, well happy.
Tis runs around 43 idle and 85 load, bit high (im thinking I didn't put enough paste), but tbh I think those temps aren't bad so I won't bother changing anything. Had 1 blue screen on bootup in Vista but nothing since.
Anyways great bundle, 5 stars, this thing is quicker than I could've hoped.

We provide the latest BIOS for stable overclocking and the driver CD that came with the system.
Always worth checking if Gigi have updated drivers on their website before installing.
Those temps seem about average. I wouldn't worry about them. Just waiting for OcUK to exchange my memory so I can get mine up and running. Which cooler do you have?

I just purchased one of these and put it together tonight. I bought it along with a Seasonic 850W PSU.
When I plug it all in the mobo lights up. Hit the power button and the fans spin for about 0.25 of a second before cutting out.
I tried it with my old 600W Seasonic and it runs ok. Do you reckon its a dead PSU? I know some people have been having issues booting it with some PSUs.
I did also boot it with the old PSU, set the BIOS back to Failsafes and then try to boot with the new PSU again, but I get the same thing. It cuts out after about 0.25 seconds.
Worthy of an RMA of the new PSU?

When you goto this weeks only deal and hit
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-003-OB
It shows *OVERCLOCKED* Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66Ghz @ 4.20GHz Max bundle
For £549.99 !
but this is misleading since its only till you change to 4.2ghz option the price jumps to £722 !
Ocuk need to change this my credit card almost had a heart attack
It would be nice too see some competition also on the 4.2ghz Bundle also cos it could easily be under 500 notes

i am still rushed off my feet - which means the price and support is competitive

Really cause my mate just packed up his bundle and is shipping it back due to poor after sales support. Hell his board didnt even turn on let one be stable. These things should have been stress tested before hand.
I'm about ready to the do the same as my board is far from stable and whats the point of having it run at 4ghz for a few days and then doesnt boot unless at deafult settings.
