Evening all. Haven’t yet hit the button but need to sort something.

Note sure how we can share the info as where to get this from.

CPU stock code BD740g11

What ITX motherboard would be best?
Then ram?

Ideally from same supplier

With the 1600 af providing a cheap 6 core 12 thread CPU at lower MHz, are there any rumours of an 1800 af for a cheap 8 core 16 thread part?

I'd be all over this in a second if it happened, very impressed with the 1600AF I got for my daughters recent upgrade!!

The 2600 and 2600X can be found for about the same price now if you know where to look.

Just had a Google about. 2600X I’ve found for £123 delivered. That’s 6 cores and 12 threads not bad

ummm 6cores, 12 threads, the same as my I7 8086, but for a fraction of the price.

The 8086k is the better gaming CPU though.

Can't find these anywhere apart from eBay gougers at the moment.

Whoops, apologies if that was asking too much.Missed the reply anyway. Are OC going to be stocking these at all?

Doesn't matter if not really. They're obtainable. Trust I'm allowed to at least say that.

The price increase no longer makes this a great budget CPU.

All CPU's and GPU's have gone up in price, it was inevitable with what's going on.

I thought that but noticed deals and price drops on the likes of the 3600 , so the 1600 AF now being listed at £100 plus makes no sense.?

I think stock on CPU / GPU is drying up, those who still have stock might offer deals to draw attention to themselves but when they run low on stock that will stop.

It sucks, i see 3600's in places now costing more than it did when it was launched, the card i paid £330 for a couple of weeks ago now costs £400.
