8Pack APPROVED! SUPER fast SUPER STRONG sub £285 Skylake 4.5ghz Overclocked Gaming Bundle

Mattcorn · 21 Feb 2016 at 16:35

Well im really impressed with everything!!!!!!! looking for recommedations on a gfx card for about £150 now so many to choose from.

So am i right in thinking the bios hack/050 keeps everything at 100 setting except the cpu/mem clock?

What kind of overclock would be possible on a normal bios 37x??????

All in great work saved me a job and a lot of money for true quad core

On Skylake no matter what PCI ex and all bus frequency other than CPU and mem stay at 100. They are locked as they gave separate clock gens.

What the BIOS does is allows blk overclocking on non K sku which without it you can't do.

Normal BIOS did not try the CPU is locked.

Is it possible to do the 4625mhz Core Cache and 2666mhz mem overclock with air cooling?

8 Pack · 24 Feb 2016 at 20:36

No problem with good overclocking chip.

Gonna give the 4.6 a blast going upto the shop today to get a 970 or 980 can't decide lol

Picked up the 8pack 970 gtx.

Omg my fps on bf4 doesnt drop below 200 lol
Time for a new monitor......

This build is turning out to be expensive lol

8 Pack · 29 Feb 2016 at 16:37

That 970 is very limited run special bin!!

The fastest out of the box 970 around.

Futures · 29 Feb 2016 at 20:40

Well I tried up to 1.36v for 4625mhz but couldn't get it stable.
Is there something else I need to change, or shall I keep going up to 1.5v.

Maybe i need one of these special 970

Update: she says I can't use 'her' skylake system for gaming so swapped the 8pack gfx card into my haswell 4770k 4.3ghz build. Still pulling 200 fps. She has the r9 280x from msi. She hasn't noticed yet

So chuffed with the service guys popping over to get a monitor tomorrow 144hz for gaming

8 Pack · 16 Mar 2016 at 12:29

She says!! and this matters!! Dear me!!

Glade your pleased with the service though!!

8 Pack · 24 Mar 2016 at 11:38

Here are the instructions for mounting the cooler:
Parts laid out!! (PICS = slight RAG TAG... due to my camera phone and marketing team being at Iseries)

Retention ring hooked in.

and secured with clip.

Place the backplate on the back of the motherboard with the holes through the mounting holes on the board.

Screw the mounting post into the backplate.

Place the CPU block head over the mounting holes on the bracket. The inner holes are for this socket.

Screw down all 4 thumb screws one twist on each screw at a time until finger tight. Attach the pump!!

DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any one have any questions about this guide please contact no one..... or moan for no reason!!
