Rock Creek Gold Rush bundle

[strid1]

Hi,

As I have no experience as such of overclocking just gone for one of the OCUK pre-overclocked bundles:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-166-OE&groupid=43&catid=2512&subcat=2513

Anyone have any experience of this bundle?

I will be pairing with an R9 290X mainly for games (BF4 and others).

Main question I have is around stability of the OC. Understand that these are Prime95 tested but hear that BF4 is causing issues with previously bench stable OC's.

A couple of years back bought a i2500k pre-overclocked bundle and that has been rock solid but groaning a bit now in BF4 so time to replace.

Any feedback or comments are welcome

Thanks

Thanks. The 2500k is already overclocked to 4.5ghz. It's going into a PC I'm putting together for my brother for Christmas which gave me the excuse to upgrade! I have read that CPUs such as the 4770k are beneficial for BF4 and future multi-threaded games. Gone for the bundle now but would there be much of a performance hit going with a 3770k?

Just an update on this. Received this bundle in quick time, set it up and all good. I was getting random Red Screen crashes on BF4 but following the advice in the forums bumped the CPU Vcore up a couple of notches and crashes have gone
