i'd say they like timings more then ryzen but yeah- over those two speeds not worth it.

yeah i went by this article https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews...Memory_Performance_Benchmark_Analysis/10.html
although they only gave avg fps, rather than min/1% lows

also helps if you have K chip and Up the cashe speed

Intel i5 8400 locked out at 3600hz, couldn't get it to boot with higher speed even when setting timings all to CL 50 for the pure hell of it lol

correct, intel builds are less sensitive to ram speed/timings. also if you're spending that much, you should really make a thread, so one of us can have a look at the specs before you press buy

Thanks. Hopefully the 32GB is still on offer on the 20th when I plan to purchase. I'm just going prebuild with the Germanium I linked too before pretty much as OCUK have it except no HDD and the Silver version of the Phanteks Evolv Case as its £30 cheaper than the black.

ram prices change quickly and seen some deal go because stock goes. i dont think it'll take to long for this to be released, maybe @Gibbo can give indication on its expected sale state span ?

@P1Fanatic might consider building your own, you can see that most 8700k/1080ti builds come in at around £2000ish, that's an awful lot of money you're paying for a prebuilt.
even then we could spec up a build and then you ask in customer services if ocuk will build and warranty the whole build. i'd think that would still be cheaper than £2400.

ryzen 1600 and gtx 1080 ti for £1300 with 500gb ssd

bar 8GB ram though haha worth paying £300 for OCUK to build it

Looks like its already back to full price.

It was £2200 with the cheaper case (Pro M), no HDD and cheaper RAM. I priced up all components per OCUK prices and the difference was less than £50 over the prebuild price! The prebuild gives a guaranteed overclock (assume they select a pre binned one that runs to 4.9 no issue) vs DIY which would be pot luck cpu lottery. I could save £50 buying a cheaper Gigabyte Z370 board and similar buying a cheaper GTX1080TI over the Asus ROG Strix but that’s about it. Maybe a bit cheaper on the M2 SSD but they have shorter warranties also.
