nmX.Memnoch Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 If you keep waiting for price drops you'll wait indefinitely. There's always either another price drop or the "next best thing" right around the corner. The total price for the bundle and PSU would be £413.55. I don't know what your shipping charges are like but I would think you'd still be within your £500 budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is indeed true, but the 22nd claims to be the day were all been waiting for.....i will atleast wait for this date before buying anything...i could save up £50, which in thoery means DRINKS ON ME loolThe total price for the bundle and PSU would be £413.55. I don't know what your shipping charges are like but I would think you'd still be within your £500 budget.yeah that is indeed certain i will be in my £500 budget, but ill wait for the price drop see if i can sqeeze a 2.4ghz cpu out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmX.Memnoch Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 yeah that is indeed certain i will be in my £500 budget, but ill wait for the price drop see if i can sqeeze a 2.4ghz cpu out of itYou probably already could...it's only about £24 more. But yeah...the 22nd is only a few days away. It wouldn't ship over the weekend anyway so you'd still end up waiting a few more days before it arrived. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct....&subcat=791 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmX.Memnoch Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Yeah, the 2.4GHz deal is better in two ways:1. It has CAS4 memory2. The CPU has 4MB cache instead of 2MB cacheThat's definitely the deal I'd go with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CPU has 4MB cache instead of 2MB cacheThat's definitely the deal I'd go with.yeah thats what i decided, im also looking into increasing my budget a little bit, i booked in overtime at work lol but hopefully should be able to get it up by about £80-£100But another question i wanted to ask, i want to obvisouly overclock this cpu, is it ok to go fanless cpu cooling while doing this, and if i can, is there any reccomendations of any particular brand of heatsink to use???

ripken204 Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 AS5 is not the best TIM out there, but its is at least one of the best and very safe. liquid metal TIMs are just too dangerous/corrosive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
