KRYPTON EXTREME INTEL XEON X5650 2.66GHZ EVGA SR-2 OVERCLOCKED BUNDLE

You might need to get them to build you a nuclear power station! :p

Seriously, I'd suggest you give it a dedicated power socket (i.e. not an extension lead with half a dozen other devices), and think about heat dissipation. All that heat has to go somewhere - and that means straight into the room.

Good luck!

Well, I was up for buying a log burner this winter but If I get this baby then I won't need the log burner. Could I route some of the cooling pipes from the PC case from my bedroom into the livingroom to also keep the girlfriend warm? :)

I will try to get an email with the spec soon, I'm busy planing my trip down to the CLA gamefare this week end then I'm off work on holiday for a weeks camping, If I don't speak to you before I go then I will talk when I get back
 
just got one of these on test at the moment :)

running at just a shade under 4.2ghz

this is using a pair of megahalem cpu coolers and a pair of random fans from my desk

i was looking at this bundle with a view to saving and getting it. However, I can't find it anymore. another supplier has a bundle but it's not overclocked as much and I'd prefer to get it from overclockers based on previous good service.

Any idea when it will be back or where it went?
 
HPTX form factor is the only thing that is putting me off of this arrangement, at the moment. Will OCUK consider throwing in a case into the mix to make it a complete system offer later on?

They originally offered the SR-2 with two Xeons in a system, but it doesnt appear to be there anymore. Perhaps lack of demand, or just a shortage of Xeon CPU's/SR-2's is the reason behind it.
 
I think you guys are forgetting that if you are spending 3000 pounds on a computer providing the fault isn't yours, you could easily have this warranted for 6 years under the SOGA, even if you had to take OcUk to court, which, again, if you spent 3k with them, I'm sure they'd be happy to help you.
 
any signs of this bundle coming back or sort I build it myself. I'd prefer 24Gb so maybe it would be better to do it myself anyway?

the evga SR2 is like rocking horse excriment
there is no ETA for the board at all. believe me, if we could get them then you would be seeing the £3k bundle back on the website in a flash.

24gb or memory seriously lowers the clocking capability.
if you want 24gb of memory then i would suggest just buying a regular dual socket board in all honesty.

may i also just point out the following.
the bundle in question from the competitor ships at 4GHz
we have done quite a few of these bundles now, they were shipping at 4.2GHz minimum. we even shipped one out with a 4.4ghz profile to Germany as the cpus were so exceptional.

all of these overclocks were dealt with by myself personally and the customer was contacted on each occasion by myself to ensure that they were familiar with how to access the overclock profiles and what kind of settings they needed.

you dont get that elsewhere

if anyone else still has these in stock [which i highly doubt]
then that only means that they arent selling them.

we did a system based around this bundle in the armoursuit p80 lian li case.
once the SR2 comes back and EVGA get their butts into gear then im sure you will see the system return.

as i mentioned previously. purchasing this bundle nets you specialist support.
i highly doubt that anybody in the UK will have clocked as many SR2s as i have. the customer buying this bundle obviously has manufacturer warranties etc. but this obviously would depend on availabilty, which brings us back to the original problem

there are no SR2s
 
ok, cool. thanks for the reply. I'd prefer to wait and get it from you guys anyway. My main use is for premiere cs5 which uses cuda so i could maybe cut down on the memory and get a better graphics card (or two+ once premiere starts using sli)

Ok, decision made. I'll wait. I'm also hoping to get a Lian Li V2120 to put in all in too so if you happen to get your hands on those that would be nice!

Thanks, M
