Hi everyone

I still have the rig in my sig but feel that now is the time to upgrade.
I am tempted with the following but just want someone to check that I only need a cpu, mobo and ram.

Gigabyte X99-SLI - Intel Core i7 5820K Six Core CPU & Motherboard Bundle ***£50 Saving***

Kingston Fury Black 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-19200C15 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (HX424C15FBK2/16)

The idea will be to order this now and then a new case and waterblock next month after pay day.

Thanks mate, had not noticed that lol.
Any thing else that might be an issue?

Hi - The 5820k doesn't come with any sort of cooler, so as long as you aren't planning to use it until you get your new waterblock, you will be fine.

If not I advise picking up a cheap CPU cooler such as the CoolerMaster 212, only £25-ish and it's a really good air cooler.

I did not know that. The plan was to use if first before it went under water to check everything was ok.
The cooler that you suggested is out of stock at the moment, are there any others that are about the same price?

Hi again,

There is this cooler: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-010-BQ&groupid=701&catid=2330&subcat=2340

I'm not sure how good it is, but it's still sub £30, from a reputable brand and fits the LGA 2011 socket. It should be sufficient since it is not a permanent thing

No problem. I hope you enjoy your new build

Haswell-E never came with coolers, they're supposed to be enthusiast processors, and as an enthusiast you are expected to have your own cooling solution.

The Skylake K series processors also do not come with a stock cooler, as you are expected to use your own cooler if you have bought a chip meant for overclocking.
