It functioned straight out of the box without any fuss, passing 16 hours of stability testing .... Buying an OcUK Overclocked Bundle guarantees that none of the components are dead on arrival and that they are completely compatible with each other. =Performance Award=

Representing the cream of the crop of today's bleeding edge performance hardware, OcUK's 'Extreme Bundles' are selected to satisfy the needs of the most demanding enthusiast.

OcUK Overclocked Bundles feature carefully selected components tested to assure compatability & stability, guaranteeing the integrity of the overclock.

We worry about the fiddling and tweaking, you just enjoy the performance.

This bundle ships pre-built and pre-overclocked direct from our Technical Department. All you need to do is attach the CPU cooler and power it up.

- Maximum Speed
- Maximum Stability
- Maximum Compatibility
- Maximum Overclocking

This Bundle contains the following components:

1 X Intel Core i5 750 2.66Ghz @ 3.60GHz - Retail
1 X Asus P7P55D Intel P55 Motherboard
1 X Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel
1 X Zalman CNPS10X-Quiet CPU Cooler

Note - All Bundles are built and installed on demand and usually ship within 48 hours of the order being placed. During exceptionally busy periods this time can increase by 48 hours.

Note - The bundle operates above manufacturer specifications, as such it requires a quality power supply to operate with guaranteed stability. OcUK recommend a quality brand PSU for use with all our bundles such as the Corsair TX & HX range.

While some might be able to justify the higher price tag for assurance, we cannot help but feel that it's a little too steep. The plot thickens when another one of their bundles featuring an Intel Core i5 750 processor overclocked to 4.00GHz and with the superior (and more expensive) Gigabyte P55 UD5 Motherboard costs exactly the same. Simply put, there is no reason to choose this bundle over it's 4.00GHz brother and so we believe that it's pricing should be reconsidered.

Rather odd to provide the review for this product, when they advising people to miss it.:eek:
 
Based on the products previous price tag of £499.99, of course there was little reason to choose this particular bundle over the Core i5 750 @ 4.00GHz bundle. If you read on, you see that the pricing has been adjusted to a far more acceptable £424.99. :)

edit - Slow reply. Ignore me
