As the thread title suggests! It was dispatched today, I've tracked it as being in leeds depot around 6pm. I've paid for before 10am delivery. Is there any chance it will be here tomorrow before 10am? I'm near Glasgow.

Cheers

I've got the morning off work especially, I don't know what I'll do if it doesn't arrive. Can't have a "doctors appointment" two days in a row! :D

If you check tracking this ( Thursday) morning you should find it has arrived at Yodels local depot and is marked as Out For Delivery so you should get it as agreed.

Well it arrived today and I am pretty much in love. Taking me a while to get used to Windows 7 as I've been on linux and XP for ages. Just downloading all the usual stuff: flash etc.

I'll post up some pictures and a full review over the weekend.

Just now though I'm a wee bit concerned by the following screenshots. Remember my 8GB of ram is meant to be at 1333Mhz and my CPU is 3.4 GHz. It says the core speed is much lower! :S

Whoah, not good news, they guys at QC testing must have forgot to turn the multipliers back up (I'm presuming they turn it down) :S

If you're not comfortable with turning up the multiplier to 34 in BIOS, give PCS a call and they'll walk you through it.

Oh well, it's not the worst thing that could happen and is fairly easy to fix :)

I'm willing to go in and do it. Is it just the multiplier I need to adjust? What about the RAM? Any other settings need fixed?

Seeing as they turned the multiplier down, I wouldn't suppose so. Also you can manually select the RAM speed from a list to set it at 1333Hz (there should be an option for about 3 or 4 different speeds).

NO
DONT
STOP
The multiplier is like that and changes up when needed. Download prime95, run it, and watch the multiplier shoot up :L

Well I adjusted some stuff in the BIOS and came back. The readings aren't any different. However, I watched CPUZ as I loaded up some other software and the CPU appears to be able to go up to 3.8Ghz on it's turbo, although it still says the mulitplier is x16?

The memory still appears to be running at 667Mhz ish!

TurboBoost = boosting up coreclock to 3.8, and the stock should be 3.4. Unless I'm missing something?
