Sandybridge is compatible with all 1156 heatsinks and is the ATX standard so all current cases and power supplies are fine. Our pricing is compatible plus we have several promotions running at the moment like FREE Lost Planet 2, 20% VAT back on MSI motherboards and the OcUK VAT Back discount code and of course forum members get free shipping. Needless to say were very competitive, even more so we have stock! :)
 
is this going to be another temporary hiccup, or will they still be live tomorrow so i can drive over & collect in person instead of waiting for the DPD van on Monday?.
 
P.S. REMEMBER OUR SHOP IS OPEN 9AM - 5PM TOMORROW, SO CALL IN AND GET YOUR SANDYBRIDGE SETUP :D

Nope they should remain now. :)

If they do disappear you can still come the shop tomorrow and buy whatever you need, we won't be running out. :)
 
Is there much difference in performance between the different ram?

Also regarding cooling, ive currently got a cpu block "Swiftech Apogee GTZ Waterblock - Socket LGA1366" which i purchased in Dec 08 from OcUK. From reading on the internet, it seems that later versions shipped with an adjustable part allowing for it to be used with 775, 1156 and 1366. Are the mounting holes between 775 and 1156 the same or will i need to buy another block / something else to allow me to use it on Sandybridge?

As sandbridge is so easy to overclock, is there any point getting a bundle Gibbo?

Well I just added a 2500K, Gigabyte P67A-UD3, GeIL 2x2GB DDR3, Artic Cooling Freezer 13 Cooler and the total is £350

The cheapest 2500K bundle is £450

I personally wouldn't pay an extra £100 for a bundle.

You're not really comparing fairly. To say we charge a 100 quid premium is silly. The boards and CPU coolers used in the OC bundles are superior models.
 
I only just got over the flu and now you've given me the upgrade bug :D

LOL know the feeling, them 2500K's look so damn tempting and with memory prices so low right now...aahhh....but girlfriend would kill me :eek: She's already asking questions why I keep adding stuff to the shopping basket on OCuk... (excuse ummm hunny trying to work out a good system for the guys on the forum :cool:).... She knows when I have the upgrade itch and always gets expensive in her eyes.... (need a crying smiley)....

Hell yeah. It still needs to be tested to ensure stability. Whilst sandy bridge is easier in some repects, it still isn't easy enough for average Joe to do! Plus you gotta think about the warranty, 1 year to cover any OC based issues which you wouldn't get if you OCed it yourself.

I wasn't saying the bundles were bad value, I was just making the point that if you don't require the extra features of the motherboards in your bundles then one could save a fair amount of money by buying their own parts.

I for instance am not interested in sli/crossfire so wouldn't pay extra for a motherboard that had that feature.

That makes sense I hope.
 
1156 coolers fit 1155 boards ;)

This is what i have:

http://www.swiftnets.com/products/apogee-gtz.asp

The bit that worries me is this:

11-01-09: all Apogee™ GTZ's now ship with a new Universal Hold-Down plate for Intel desktop processors, which is adjustable to socket LGA775, 1156 and 1366.

Judging by silly american dates, thats 1st of Nov 2009. Thats 11 months after i bought mine. Wondering if it works with the stuff i got now or i need to order the backplate:
Socket LGA1156 Upgrade kit including Universal Hold-down plate and S1156 back-plate (use existing water-block fasteners)
