Komplett have Retail E6700's in stock!

Just the one left now

Been quite impressed with the stock levels in the UK, can't say much for the prices though but they are starting to drop. I may be tempted to downgrade to a E6400 and get a little bit of money back.

Damnit, was just about to order an E6400 and they go out of stock

[lawrywild]

I think novatech have some

I have a £50 discount code for Komplett though but now I'm pwnt 'cos I wanted my kit by this weekend

[edit] And Novatech are like £10 more expensive!

Unlucky, they were at a very good price I was almost going to get one. How'd you get the discount code

Finally downgraded my E6600 to an E6300, should be here tomorrow, I'll be content with 3GHz and it's all the performance I need (had a sensible stroke and thought I'd save myself £100). Almost tempted to trade my Asus for a DS3 and save another £50... hm.

[Sumanji]

It's not a discount code as such, sort of a partial refund. Long story

The difference from E6600 to 6400 is about £70 and I really don't know if it's worth it... £100 would have been a definite "not", and £50 would be "yes", but £70 is sort of borderline

I just got the most hilarious PM from an XS member... just wondering if I should anonymise it and post

I just got a refund back from that german shop..

So.. which to Buy... Tuniq 120 or Noctua NH-U12 (Ruling out infinity because it hits black caps around socket and Scythe's products are pretty low quality for the price to me..)

the tuniq performs well but the base is poory finished.

does the infinity hit the caps of the p5w-dh and p5b deluxe ?
i normaly get the ninja coolers for pc's at work but ther are out of stock and was going for the infinity but if they wont fit the p5b thats a problem.

You need to sand about 3mm off the mounting bracket according to Wesm63 (I think thats his username)

I'll lap the tuniq if I get it. then again might just keep the Ninja and save myself some money. Need a lian li and decent mousepad more..

at stock settings on a e6600 the tuniq was 4C cooler than the ninja both using the same fan. dont know how it compares at overclock as i have not swapped it out until i lap the base my cpu.

I was thinking of buying a load of Conroe's from the US, and selling em here.

The Noctua allows you to mount 38mm though so I'm kinda leaning towards that. Also the mounting system for the Noctua is very nice IMO

the tuniq is not the best mouting system but once it's in place its ok.
i dont like sticking the cooler bases to the back side of the mobos so it's a little fiddly keeping it in place while you mount the tuniq ,t bracket and screw it in place the tuniq kept moving around while i found the 4 screw holes.
