I wonder if he has bought from OCUK before also?

My money would defo go with Aria at this time, but its worth waiting to see what others do once they have stock.

I'd only buy from OCUK if the product was completely unnobtainable elsewhere 

Aria do have them in, but they are selling out instantly, I pre-ordered an Asus P8P67 and i52500k and they have  just been signed for by my neighbour  :-*

Did you get the straight P8P67 and not the Pro or Deluxe?

 Lol no i didnt buy from ocuk,was going to yesterday,but then they went and put the prices up cpu is now £191.99 and the motherboard is £144.99 they are about 25 quid more than anyone else and when gibbo said they done it because they are the only ones with stock and cos its in demand ppl will pay it,well he is wrong cos I wait.

Sorry yes, I got the Pro.


Brian Aria do have stock, it just keeps coming in and selling out.

same at tek we have the boards - cpus are just going in and out on a daily basis 

Ah right I know where tekheads is cos they round the corner from me,I got al my stuff last yr from them,and I have been checking there site daily for when cpu is back in stock,I have never heard of aria,only now tekheads and ocuk as I don't build pc's regular so not very clued up on stuff.

Give tek a bell then, I'm sure they can sort something out 

Yer I will might be able to get a  :gag:nice local tekkie to help me set it up 2 lol,and I'm waiting for to build yours so you can tell me how to set up the bios,I got a question tho,will I have to re-install windows and if so what's the best way to go about it,should I leave the ssd out first then do the bios then do it,I have hotswop bays so do I just remove it till i get everything else working,sorry if it sounds a bit confusing.

Here's a couple more links

Overclocking a P8P67

The best memory for Sandybridge

A good thread on OCUK ( ) about undervolting Corsair XMS3 with Sandy Bridge

http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=18197259

Thanks for the links,interesting that as I only want the pc for gaming I might ad well just get 4gig of ram,as for all this underclocking its over my head,how about you do a build log matt5cott 

i took this of  thread in ocuk,these all have the asus pro,2 things that are the main problem is some cold boot error they get and setting the memory,anyway this is what they recoomend.


1.35v max for vcore.

1.5-1.55v for memory.

PLL never higher then 1.9v.

Base clock never higher then 100.

I'm on it.

hehe nice 1 m8 these problems that ppl are getting and having to mess about with bios etc is the only thing thats putting me off doing the buy it now button,but i cant put up with using just a mobile much longer,i want my pc back

Mess with the BIOS? you don't have to on the asus board really, it has two dip switches, EPU and TPU, you flick them both to enable and it does a moderate overclock automatically for you

I have looked through the manual too, it's really well layed out, I'll still put some pics up later mind, I have it fired up but just tinkering with the BIOS manually atm.
