The new era of Intel Processors is now with us bringing DDR4 high bandwidth memory to the masses. Skylake has revolutionised the way that mainstream hardware is viewed and the lines between enterprise class hardware have been blurred.
Since we got our hands on very early Skylake micro-architecture processors, we have been tirelessly optimising the platform and pushing for the very best performance we can.
Skylake has many advantages that make it worth considering over previous generations for Gamers, Hardware Enthusiasts and Power Users. Some of these notable features include:
- Guaranteed CPU overclock of 4.50GHz
- 14nm transistor count manufacturing process
- Reduced power consumption
- Enhanced CPU and GPU performance
- High Frequency DDR4 Memory Support
- Low TDP output
- High PCI-Express Bandwidth
- M.2 PCI-Express AHCI/NVMe native support
Skylake is not just another mainstream release. The overclocking capability of these 'low thermal output' processors is immense as they run cool out of the box which gives enormous potential to enthusiasts.
There is a reason why Intel has touted Skylake as their most 'Significant Processor Release' for over a decade.
This Bundle has been developed in house at Overclockers UK to provide end users with a safe, reliable and fast base for any powerful system. Ian '8Pack' Parry has approved the use of every component in this bundle to ensure that it not only meets the expectations of our customers but it exceeds them in every way.
The Hardware in this bundle has been carefully selected after extensive testing to present our customers with an attractive price as well as a reliable system using products from trusted partners.
- Skylake i7 6700K OEM: Providing hyperthreading quad core (8 threads) technologies with huge overclocking headroom a staggering 8MB of L3 Cache for responsive and efficient computing.
- Asus Z170 Maximum VIII Hero Motherboard: An exceptional optimised motherboard with intuitive features and a rounded feature set that would complement any system as well as providing a stable base for upgrades in future. With fantastic aesthetics this board not only performs but looks the part as well.
- Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 3200MHz: A performance DDR4 memory kit with low latencies and attractive heatspreaders. This kit will perform reliably and look fantastic with the other hardware in this bundle.
The Elite Tier SkyLake Bundle has specific cooling requirements and all bundles will ship with our tried and tested cooling solutions:
- Asetek 240mm 570LXL: An advanced closed loop performance CPU Cooler that runs quietly. This unit is ideal for use with this bundle and has proven to be one of the most reliable liquid cooling units we have ever sold. Our very own systems are built using Asetek cooling solutions.
- OcUK & SilverStone - 120mm FQ121WC: This fan has been specifically designed to meet our requirements for performance watercooling. We suggest pairing these with a fan controller for the best results.
In addition to this host of Elite Tier Hardware, Overclockers UK will be providing each customer with a comprehensive guide on how to Overclock this system. We will take all the hard work out of this for you meaning the most you will need to do is to type in a few simple settings. It really couldn't be easier.
Please Note*
You will need to ensure that your computer case has enough room to fit a 240mm radiator in the roof or rear.
Performance can only be guaranteed when this bundle is used in conjunction with a quality 80+ Gold or better Power supply unit of suitable wattage for your whole system.
Overclockers UK Suggests using Super Flower Power Supplies to ensure maximum stability in performance applications.
The Fans on this bundle can be loud if ran at full speed. We recommend using them in conjunction with a Fan Controller to get the best balance of noise and performance.
For those looking for a graphics card to compliment this amazing Elite Tier bundle we recommend NVIDIA's GTX 980Ti graphics card.

But then, if you wait until the end of next year, even better components will be out. Or, wait untill the year after that, yet more better components will be out!
Point of comment: i gave up waiting for components to be released years ago (unless it was literally 2 months away). Even when they do get released, there is usually a hefty price premium for being the first to get your hands on them. It just aint worth it IMO.

What's the point of including a game when it doesn't come with a graphics card? I guess you can then choose your own, then sell the two copies of the Division
That's a great deal. I've been looking at the exact same layout all weekend but I just never pulled the trigger as all the write ups say moving from a i7 3770k didn't warrant the money yet. My GTX980TI does the job :-)

This seems a really deal. But if you wait until the end of the year, the next generation of CPUs and GPUs will be here (probably - I hope). I am holding off an upgrade for this.

NO, don't be so foolish! You should wait for the year after that, then even newer CPUs and GPUs will be available... but NO! Haha! FOOL AGAIN, so stupid! You should wait for following year, then the tech is better still. WAIT, STOP! HAHA! You crazy impatient young whippersnapper... don't be so quick, learn some self control man! In 2019 we will have the fastest CPU's and GPUs known to mankind, so yes, buy then. NOOOOO! HAHA! You so stupid!! Have you learnt nothing?! Wait another year and it gets even better, you can't even imagine... OK, now you can go ahead... :wink:

If you wait another year after that, a new generation will be out, might as well wait until then.... But if you wait ANOTHER year!

well, computer prices fall all the time. but you can upgrade the components if you have to have the best gear on sale. BTW, this gear it top spec atm. hot

It's a set of high spec components for an upgrade:
An I7 CPU - overclockable to 4.5GHz
16 GB DDR4 RAM
A Nice motherboard
500GB SSD
Watercooling + fans
It's ideal for people with a decent GPU (graphics card) as they likely have a suitable case/PSU otherwise these things you'd need to add before having a fully functional PC.

I've bought from overclockers and the whole thing flopped after 3 years. Wasn't impressed

It's an upgrade bundle. Many gamers fork out a lot on a good GPU which they move between builds.
