OCUK bundle nerfed :(

Rofflay · 14 Jan 2011 at 14:37

So why has the 2500k radon bundles gone from 4.6 to 4.4? 4.6 was the only reason i would have considered it but now i am just thinking of ordering seperates.

Is this a typo?

To quote Gibbo from the ~~~~~IMPORTANT SANDYBRIDGE OC INFO: Voltages & OC Guide!!~~~~~ Thread:

Gibbo said:
They are doing further testing, as some bundles are just hitting a wall beyond 4.4GHz irrelevent of voltages used which could mean some CPU's hit a wall at certain speeds or its something else holding back. As such bundles will be 4.40GHz from now on.

It is starting to seem like that it isn't a given that all 2500K/2600K CPUs will do 4.6Ghz.

Guess I'm lucky then! managed to get my 2500k stable at 4.7 using 1.35 vcore, pretty happy with that, I dont particularly want to go any higher with the voltages

it will be stable.......until it dies!

I understand your pain.

Real world difference between 4.6 and 4.4 is such a bummer...................

The current ones are quads or quads with HT.

The duals will be coming shortly...

Just making sure before some awkward war of words starts out

Cant blame ocuk for doing some testing and finding the limits for the products it sells too.

Having a quadcore is a lot more important than an extra 200mhz. But I see your point.

actually smartass it means it can do a higher speed at lower volts guaranteed.the 4.4 cpu's are hitting a wall and not going past it.

u done trollin?

Is it just me or does that make very little sense?

Martini1991 · 15 Jan 2011 at 09:40

Is it just me, or has sandy bridge went from epically good, to now just average =D?

PapaLazaru · 15 Jan 2011 at 09:40

Seems that my attempt at humour have been lost on some.

Rofflay · 15 Jan 2011 at 10:09

i missed the smiley face after the question mark now i seem like a grump

im not honest i am just pointing out the fact that if the bundle does not offer 4.6 then the chances are that cpu will not go any further due to what was posted above.

does that make sense now?
