Z68 Extreme4 Gen3

Broken Hope · 3 Aug 2011 at 15:57

It's right on the spec sheet..

To run the PCI Express 3.0 slots in Gen 3 speed, please must install the Ivy Bridge CPU which supports PCI Express 3.0. If you install the Sandy Bridge CPU, the PCI Express 3.0 slots will run only at Gen2 speed.

I've found them in stock but not sure I trust the seller (never heard of them)...price is good too.

Deluxe1 · 3 Aug 2011 at 17:24

Probably the same place i've just seen them in stock

Got one on pre order here along with 8Gb of Crucial Ballistix Sport, I'll be passing the shop on Sat so will call in and pick up a 2500k oem and an Antec Kúhler H2O 920, both on special offer

Hi Guys,

I've just put together a new PC with this mobo and have what is probably a really stupid question...

How do you adjut the date/time? My previous PCs all had BIOS not UEFI which is quite alien to me.

Well bit the bullet and ordered it from the other place...just hope it turns up and their instock status isn't a blag...

Hate buying from somewhere new always feel like I'm gonna get scammed!

Deluxe1 · 4 Aug 2011 at 12:53

Ordered one aswell as ocuk didnt know when they would have them in stock.

Hamster · 4 Aug 2011 at 14:15

Would be nice if OCUK gave us some update on the Extreme7 but the following article states that it starts shipping tomorrow. Whether that's just for USA customers, I don't know.

NathWraith, any news about the Extreme7 please? Last we heard from you the other day is that it was coming in this week and it would be available for pre-order at the end of that day.

I never used to have this stock issue when I made my first build four years ago. Now whenever I go to order anything it's always out of stock. What happened to this industry?

bhavv · 5 Aug 2011 at 02:38

WOW, that Extreme4 looks perfect.

I'd want that if I wasnt using an R3E with a now obsolete socket

Well I missed out on stock with the other supplier; I think deluxe1 got the last one the lucky sod. Ended up picking up a msi gd80 g3 instead from ocuk, I'm sure it will suffice!

Ah I see. Cheers for letting me know.
