A nasty looking minefield
Hello all.

Have ordered some of my stuff from overclockers. Bit disappointed as some of the prices dropped after I ordered, but thats life :rolleyes:

My new rig will be

E6420 2.13Ghz Core 2 Duo
2Gb Ballistix 5300 C3 3-3-3-10
BFG 8800 GTX 768mb
ThermalTake Purepower 680w
eVGA 680i Motherboard
Zalman 9700 Aero
Dell 2407wfp.


When overclocked it should give me a nice average rig. Was going to go for a Quad Core but clicked the wrong button :rolleyes: :o

Will keep you posted.

Should I expect around 3.2Ghz overclock fromthe chip. Hopefully this will allow me to break 10k on 3DMark06.


The delivery is taking ages. :( Ordered on tuesday and was sent out today.

Quite annoying as I dont live in the UK. Their "48hr delivery" takes around 1 week from experience.

You can yes. If you want to, just reject the delivery then you wont have to pay for return postage.

I only want to return one of these things. Would I have to reject the WHOLE delivery.... and then pay postage again when I get it?

The only thing is that I ordered on tuesday and still havent got it.. Therefore its going to be monday at the VERY earliest.

That is a long wait.

Might be worth it though.


Do I have to contact overclockers before I refuse the items.


I cant make up my mind :(
 
Just give the shop a call to see what they say is my advice, before you start going around trying to reject stuff!

You'd need to contact them for a returns authority anyway.

Not sure how the DSR regs impact you if you're not in the UK?
 
i'd be happy with the e6420.....quad core is too expensive unless you'll be doing encoding or something

same here.

To call their line from Ireland costs quite literally a FORTUNE. :(


TBH I might just stick with the e6420 and sell it in a couple of months for £60 odd quid and buy a quad core when reduced :)
 
Nothing wrong with that E6420 TBH.

I see no reason why it shouldn't clock to 3Ghz+ like most C2D's, especially as you can run your RAM & FSB independently on that 680i board of yours.

Be interesting to see how you get on. :)
 
Problem is if you refuse delivery and your stuff goes missing on is way back to OcUK then youre stuffed coz you will lose your money and the goods.

Thats right. As far as I know you have 28 days in which to return goods as long as they are 'unopened' however its probably best to shell out a tenner and post the stuff back yourself.
