Not sure. On par with some of the overpriced gaming chair forum threads for sure.

Akagi · 3 Jan 2017 at 18:03

Or the "CRAZY WEEKEND OFFER, £3 OFF OF THIS £500 THING" threads we sometimes get.

Wow, that's a lot of pages for a smiley.

Tute · 3 Jan 2017 at 18:05

Seems about right, a small iteration on Skylake.

You're up, AMD.

Jimbo.UK · 3 Jan 2017 at 18:05

It is, and its making me smile. Coffee time

But he WINKED! A plain old smile wouldn't have gone beyond the first page!

I'm clinging to the hope that this thread isn't for Kaby. :eek:

It probably is, but more for the binned pre-de-lidded guarenteed overclock chips with warranty which take OcUK back to its roots of pre-overclocked AMD slot-in CPU's.

That would be a brave move. OcUK customers might not be what they once was.

Looks like the OCUK binned bundles will be well worth the money

anandtech review is up of the 7700k.....

http://www.anandtech.com/show/10968...91w-review-the-new-stock-performance-champion

Right, so its a clocked 6700K, max overclock 4.8Ghz at 1.4v......

Rebrand.... yawn.

^^ I guess we'll find out on Thursday. I would imagine in the ball park of where they have been before, allowing for the fall in exchange rates. Maybe £800 for CPU, motherboard, memory and 240/280 AIO cooler.

Simon Belmont · 3 Jan 2017 at 18:40

If you have a Skylake just pass on this.

nikebee · 3 Jan 2017 at 18:41

so the launch of Kaby Lake is supposedly today... reviews are out with pricing guides... but when is it going on sale?

humbug · 3 Jan 2017 at 18:44

I'm predicting a small price hike.

Clock Skylake up a little on a more mature node, rename it, jack the price up £10/15...... sit back and count increasing profit margins.

Martini1991 · 3 Jan 2017 at 18:45

The conclusion of the review says the priced just like their predecessor.

Because dollars are what matters, not the pound.

I think this is probably right, 1.25V stock voltage so it's just overclocked (and probably slightly cherry picked) like Devil's Canyon was compard to Haswell.

But now they've been more bold about what they've done. Which is pretty poor really.
