Yup i agree its got quite a price tag but you can probably appreciate the processor alone is more than the motherboard memory and cooler put together :p. We've sold a few of these so people do appreciate the performance and price tag is good.

You've sold a few of them already :O thats insane!

Mind, this bundle should really include 2 120mm fans for that heatsink, and probably the best fans you can get for it at that price:p

Am also suprised you're selling the new gulftown at "only" 4.00ghz, woulda thought it'd be stable at a higher clock, or is the architecture still the same as the 4x core ones?

The gulf town can be clocked higher but we are overly precarious on new chips on what clocks we offer, while I've seen a few gulf towns do 4.4+ it doesn't mean every single one will do it any that's what need to guarantee.

If we find 10/10 will do 4.2GHz for example then we will be in a position to re-evaluate the clock speed.

A second fan would drop the temperatures by approximately two degrees while making the computer much louder. The silent eagle is a good fan, if the 1000rpm version can keep it cool then happy days.

At this very moment in time we have a limited number of 980X chips avaliable for bundles and general sales as they are in such constraint. This bundle will of course be available long term it just means you may (depends on how quick they all sell) have to pre-order it some point due to us not having chips avaliable.

As Intel ramp up production though we'll always have them avaliable. Its just every one wants one now and they cant produce enough.

im realy tempted to get this deal with a 5870 is this relly a good mother board for it ? ps apartfrom the gfx card i mentioned i will get i got eveything els.

I have the 800d case and a fan controller 850w power supply and a crucial 128gb and windows 7 for it. Will all these go well together ? and has anyone had a simular configaration to say its a good motherboard and will go with a 5870 or 2 5850s well ?.

Lev, sounds like it will all be a great combination and OcUK compile these bundles with great care (and top-end Gigabyte motherboards are class at present)

Combine it with 2 5850s and you have a *hell* of a machine :cool:

Hi

The UD7 is a very capable board. With its latest SATA III and USB 3.0 as well as the top of the range features the board offer it is perfect for the 980X.

2 x 5850's will be faster than one 5870, but it really does depend on the upgrade path you want to take long term to whether or not you want crossfire now or later on, because two 5870's will of course out perform 2 x 5850's.

Your current case and PSU combination will be fine presuming its a high specification PSU similar to corsairs's? You may how ever want to look at a corsair 1000w PSU long term if you wish to want 5870 crossfire and you want to overclock the graphics cards.

remember guys, the UD7 needs a bios update in order to work with gulftown.

buying this bundle takes away the stress of having to find a bloomfield chip to do the update

leave the stress to me :D

O wait i searched the wrong thing it was actully the 1 down from this the £749 version

And sorry forgot to say yes its a corsair 850. only things addign to this and what ever cards i use is. Crucial SSD 128gb (so a lot les power needed), a fan controller a syth Floppy with the slots for the camera cards (i know floopys aint neededyet but im tired of loosing my card reader)> also will need a storage HD maybe a 640gb WD caviar black (im quite loyal to WD and seagate as these drves have never failed me). also a few fans ive replaced the fans in the case with 1s with much better airflow but forgot what 1s now but there all rated VERY good i reember that.

Will this UD7 bundle accomodate HD5780 tri-fire? What liquid cooling system waterblock can be used with this board should I wish to upgrade?

you can trifire on this board, however the gains over normal crossfire are not too fantastic.

the £300 from the third 5870 would be better spent on an SSD imho

what i would reccomend is that if you did want to watercool the board you have two options

the northbridge already comes with a waterblock preinstalled, you can also have a look at EK Waterblocks rage of full cover blocks if you want to take things into the realm of full customisation.

There is new ud7 waterblock from EK im looking to get in so that would be good. Just remember though using a waterblock can invalidate the motherboard warranty.

If your interested let me know and ill get you some pricing.

I also have to agree with rjoneill and say tri-crossfire is not the best investment of money. It also needs a very high power PSU as most are only dual card capable.
