Hi

I am looking for some advice in regards to the below, I would be hoping to get a OC to 4.2-4.4 GHz Silicon lottery aside do you see any component that may hold me back

By the way I will be using a GTX670 until Pascal

Is the EVGA 650W PSU likely to be enough with other components PCIe SM951 a further 500GB SSD and a 2tb WD 7200RPM will be using a external Blu Ray but that has its own Power supply only other thing may want to go to 32GB memory in the future.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Asus X99-S - Intel Core i7 5820K Six Core CPU & Motherboard Bundle ***£30 Saving*** £488.98

PS this is for 4K video editing and light gaming for now...
 

Thanks for the quick reply

Think the gigabyte m2 is limited to 10gbps and would have a adverse effect on the m2 pcie sm951
Would consider the msi x99 sli if you think its any good :)
 
I'm seriously considering the GA-X99-SLI + 5820k (to replace an ancient Q6600!)

How long is that bundle likely to hang around? Just starting a new job so need to delay a week or two until cash flow is assured.
 
Happy with the case and motherboard

Everything arrived however the Intel CPU box appears to have been crushed during transit so don't know if the CPU is A Ok appears undamaged but who knows.

Spoke to OC UK they advised go ahead with the build.

So on I proceeded only to come across

The 2011 cooler mounting has a cross threaded pin which you then secure a cross member using a bolt, so stuck at the moment.

Looking on the bright side I have spent an hour or so doing some cable management LOL

Will post a picture of crushed box and the case shortly

Got to say motherboard is gorgeous :D case is cool too

Wow that's been properly squished. I think take a look at it for any physical damage and just test it. You made ocuk aware which is the main thing
