8Pack super fast smash the rest i5 Skylake Overclocked, Discounted killer GAMING bundle.

Each component is covered by its own individual warranty. All at least 12 months but items such motherboard longer.

PSU really depends on the requirements of the entire system and what GPU or gpu's u decide to use with the bundle. For example I would go 600 watt from major manufacturer for 970 or 980.

The CPU air cooler is indeed large check out its product page for full dimensions. I think the best cooler for the bundle is the optional AIO cooler this just needs one 120mm fan mount and offers superior performance.
 
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!! ;)

Hi everyone, its been an interesting thread to read, this one.
i recently puchaced this bundle as OC state its a 'guaranteed' overclock.
im new to overclockers.co.uk and obviously i did not read this thread until after purchase and build, neither did i know who 8 pack was, i simply thought '8 Pack' was the name of the parts bundle deal.

I have not done the overclock yet as im allowing the thermal paste its burn in time. but i do have a major concern and im wondering if anyone will take the time to answer it given the age of this thread and the date of the last posting in it.

Does anyone know if microsoft and intel have pushed out an update with the dreaded microcode that puts a stop to this Non-k over clock?

i know all new motherboards are now shipped with this feature locked out and that the one i got from OC is pre-lock down. but my concern is the microsoft security update bombing my system right after i perform the overclock, or it happening at some point in the future.

i understand 8-Packs recommendation of disabling all MS updates, but this is not best practice or a real answer.

So simply put. Has the update arrived? and if so does anyone know what one it is (number) so i can zap it.

Much appreciation to any helpful replies.

MS updates bloat your OS beyond all comporehension. Its not best practice says who Microsoft. I dont update my machines any of them and all are working fine.

No the update has not happened and I think very unlikely.

OK.
Do you have any advice on how to get the OC working with this board?

I did see a video of a guy on youtube who had OC'd using the Sabertooth and he claimed he used the latest bios on the Asus website.
I tried with that and anything over the 102.5 the EZ Tuner gives me stops me from booting.

I'd appreciate any help as I'm really new to this and I've hit a brick wall so far.

Thanks
