Hi there


Well the interwebs are full of X99 chat, as are our forums and X99 looks to be a true powerhouse with incredible physics power and huge bandwidth with more better PCI-E bandwidth making it ideal for Crossfire/SLI setups without any stuttering issues.

So who is going to make the upgrade, please vote.


P.S. OcUK shall be launching at very aggressive prices as can already be seen with our DDR4 prices, there shall be no early adopter tax, so waiting will see little change in price, as can be seen from how stable in price IvyBridge/Devils Canyon has being.
 
I chose "Yes: I shall upgrade within 1-2 weeks after reviews/launch"

I really look forward to your aggressive pricing. I know your support is 2nd to none but sometimes others can be cheaper, so this is welcome.
 
I will be defo, I might wait for the new nVidia 8xx series... how close will they be to the launch of x99 mate?

Stelly
 
I'll wait a little while for reviews and to see what other RAM options there are and their prices.
The price of the RAM is a bit of a pain.

We can never be the cheapest on every item to the penny, but on an overall X99 basket, CPU, RAM and motherboard we hope to be as close as possible to our in stock rivals, we will never match companies with no stock. We shall do our best!

As always I will say who else gives you more information on DDR4, overclocking, support? No one there is nowhere else you can go and ask for a memory profile and get one from the worlds no.1 overclocker, there is nowhere else giving you more info on DDR4 than myself.

OcUK is going above and beyond, if our pricing is competitive then we hope customers will spend with us as were more than just a faceless company, were a company where you can meet ourselves of these forum and get help pretty much 24/7, you can't get that anywhere else. :)
 
I may upgrade at some point in the near future, not within a few weeks of release. Been a bit disappointed with intels mainstream efforts of late.
 
I will be going over to it. Hope we don't have to wait too long for an ASUS Rampage V Extreme to appear.

@ gibbo can we add the following poll option

# I will upgrade when OCUK offer 0% Finance with no credit checks ;) ?

Buy now pay 12 months later, settle the balance within 12 months and you get 0%.

Hitachi finance is incredibly painless to apply for.

As for credit checks, get onto Equifax or similar if you keep getting rejected, I got knocked back for years...turns out I wasn't on an electoral roll.

Oh i know all this :) just us people with poor-crap credit lose out lmfao
 
I will be upgrading to X99, but it may have to wait untill my birthday in October depending on funds, it does give me some time deliberate which board and RAM I want though.
