Will OCUK be offering any bundle deals for the lower end hex core chips?

Any X-99 motherboard refresh?

We will more than likely be offering discount bundles in the future, however the pricing on components is very aggressive at the moment so we can't offer further discounts at this point in time.

Madness price by Intel (way too expensive)

Digital X · 3 Jun 2016 at 00:14

The X CPU is yeah, but the 6800 seems not TOO bad a price. All depends how it benches against the 6700/k though.

See's X CPU -

See's price :eek:

Dicehunter · 3 Jun 2016 at 00:50

The 6800K price isn't bad for a 6 core 12 thread but the rest are completely nuts.

We need AMD to come in with some kick@$$ Zen CPU's so Intel lower their prices.

Sweet! I'll certainly be plumping for a 6950X in 2 or 3 years

shamus21 · 3 Jun 2016 at 08:12

From the looks of things it will have very short shelf life.

Nice upgrade for existing X99 owners though in a few years (and when they hit about £300

)

If you get the i7-6800k and the msi-x99a-sli its £540 If we get a bundle sub £500 its a pretty decent 6core bad boy

Esp considering that DDR4 is nice and cheap atm too :cool:

1400 quid for a cpu....madness

Boomstick777 · 3 Jun 2016 at 15:35

Didn't even know these were out. Just ordered a GTX 1080. Should I go fully mental and order a Broadwell -E setup too

God help me

Boomstick777 · 3 Jun 2016 at 15:40

Just flicked through some reviews, looks like in gaming the 6700K keeps up with the highest end Broadwell -E chip. Think I'll stay on Skylake until the next round of chips, Zen etc.

Petelock · 3 Jun 2016 at 16:25

I'll also be sitting this round out and groove on with the 5820k. Imo, if it does what I need then anything else is just burning money

Speaking as a man of little actual knowledge of CPUs beyond i7 good i3 bad; in a CPU-intensive game how would the i7-6950X fair against the likes of my 4790k? Assuming both reach the same level of overclock, for arguments sake 4.5GHz.
