Possible Upgrade, How does it look?

V_R said:
Yeah indeed I totally agree, in fact i see the same Vengeance kit in Silver at 1866Mhz is the same price as the 1600Mhz Blue stuff (£150). Would the higher speed have any effect on the overclock etc, and would it actually make a noticeable difference?

• It's not going to be slower;)

• It wont effect your CPU overclock, I have personally used 2400MHz RAMcas10/9 on a i5 4670K at speeds upto 5Ghz without issue. I recently built this rig - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18575279 - and the 2400MHz cas10 RAM used on that didn't stop 4.5/4.6Ghz easily being done.
 
Nice build. :)

Love that OC board, was looking at it last night. A bit overkill I guess, for me anyway.

So, the Gigabyte board in the B1 system is out of stock... :(


More than I intended to spend but, oh my....! Would this be 'too' much? All going in a Corsair 300R by the way, if it matters. :)

I could yes. Thats exactly what I've been doing/telling myself for the last few months....! I've just got that upgrade itch. Bad.

Why whats on the horizon?

That Extreme one is too much, as much as i like it I would be mad to get it. If I'm getting anything it will be for around the 600 quid mark (not including the SSD and W8)


Something like this... Like in the first post lol.

I wont lie... I think I still prefer the one I specced... :P i7 at 4.3ghz and an H100i...

Yes its not bad, but i'd prefer the Spectra B1 if I'm honest.... Need to find out when the UD3H will be back in stock...

Also as i've said its all going in a 300R. the H100 in that could be an issue depending on RAM size and position. :)

Thanks for all your help guys, its appreciated, hopefully You have helped me make up my mind... :)
 
Just spoke to OcUK, apparently the Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H will be out of stock for a few weeks so thats the B1 out of the window.
 
 
That sort of thing is actually what I'm starting to lean towards. As nice as the bundles are, they aren't quite what I want..... :(
