So who's pre-ordered a Core I7 then?

After the last two experiences i have had with City Link i would say that's a bonus!!
Well my local City Link guy is awesome, always early in the morning and comes around back to the office and finds me.
In the past things sent via DHL from Europe have had things 'missing' from the box. On more than one occasion!
Just hope it all gets here ok!

What's the deal with the prices of the triple channel kits? 
Over the past couple of months most manufacturers have been saying that the new low voltage triple packs would be cheaper than the current twin packs £/GB... but the prices don't seem to reflect this!

not me, I don't get excited when a new chip comes out

C`mon Not even just a little
I'm on a Athlon 64 system at the moment and been waiting for these. Although i must admit, the prices are very steep. Just drawn up this spec:
(using some parts from my current rig.
Very tempted to click the "buy" button.
But also very tempted to wait..
Is it just me that keeps getting into a look of "waiting for the next big thing?" Ie i've held off getting a C2D for these and now im planning on holding off again to see how prices are in a couple of months..........and repeat.

HI there
I've done some testing today on the Asus P6T Deluxe to see what our own Triple Channel kits can do.
I am please with the following results:-
1600MHz CL8-8-8-16-1T with just 1.6v (No airflow over memory)
1866MHz CL9-9-9-24-2T with just 1.7v (No airflow over memory)
What this means is that the OcUK kits will run quite happily upto 1800MHz with voltage remaining around the 1.65v region pretty much making these the quickest kits available for Intel Core I7 platforms.
The kits do come with Corsair Dominator fans and for those who are happy to push the voltage up I have had these past 2000MHz with 2.0v going through them and yes my CPU still lives.
OcUK Cellshock 6GB PC3-15000C8 Blue Edition 1866MHz (6x1GB) Triple Channel DDR3
This is the top of the line CellShock memory and is targeted at enthusiasts and high end gamers. These memory Kits are based on very best chips, which enables it to run at notably higher speeds or more aggressive timings than its official specification. The 1866 kits have been tested specifically on the new Intel X58 Chipset achieving memory speeds beyond 1900 MHz with 999 timings and 1800 MHz with 888 timings. This additional overclocking headroom enables users to push their memory and their cpu and mainboards to the limit, achieving new performance heights. While working closely with enthusiasts, hardware experts, mainboard manufacturers and reviewers around the world, we came to the conclusion that the fastest possible System configuration that can be achieved is an Northbridge FSB of 4000Mhz with a memory speed pushing past 2000Mhz with 9-9-9 timings. This configuration is possible with Intel Extreme Core i7 Processors with moderate voltage levels, which are only recommended for short periods. The 1866 Kits are equipped with our well known massive Aluminium Heatspreaders, this time in a beautiful metallic-blue and silver combination, and instead of thick thermal pads thermal grease is used to ensure optimum cooling. This 6GB Kit is approved and pre-tested by OcUK and is compatible with Asus P6T Deluxe (6GB Configuration), all kits are pre-tested at OcUK for Tri-DDR compatibility with Intel and Asus mainboards. We recommend you run these kits at speeds of 1600-1800MHz with below 1.7v for 24/7 running to prevent damage to your I7 processor. In our own testing we found 1600MHz with timings of 8-8-8-20-1T to be stable with just 1.60-1.65v in the Asus P6T mainboards. Running 1800MHz between 1.65-1.75 voltage is also possible with 9-9-9-24-2T timngs. High speeds and more aggressive timings does require going past 1.8v which is not recommended for 24/7 running.
- 6GB (6x1GB)
- 1600MHz CL8-8-8-20-1T @ 1.6-1.65v (Within Intel Guidelines for voltage)

- 1800MHz CL8-8-8-20-2T @ 1.75-1.85v (Above Intels recommended voltage)
- 2000MHz CL9-9-9-24-2T @ 1.90-2.0v+ (High voltage could damage CPU)
- 8 Layer PCB
- 240 pin, Non-ECC, Un-buffered DIMM
- Retail Package
- 5 Year Warranty
- Not compatible with Intel Smackover X58 Mainboard
- Compatible ONLY with Intel X58 mainboards with 6 DDR3 Slots
- Supplied with Corsair Dominator Airflow Fan
Price: £399.99ex VAT (£469.99 inc VAT)

Anyone who was not so impressed with current memory offerings now have an alternative if your seeking the ultimate in bandwidth and performance.
