Core  i5 2500K & ASUS P8Z68-V LX With Corsair 4GB RAM 1600Mhz
Overclocking Options £25

 

Our mid range Sandybridge bundle comes in the form of a Core i5 2500K, which runs at 3.3Ghz as standard and is Quad Core CPU. Its much faster than any other i5 thats been availble in the past and we have paired up with one of the latest Z68 chipsets motherboards as thats the way the market is heading now. The ASUS P8Z68-V LX hosts so many features and also supports high overclocks on the 2500K, with an upgraded cooler we can get up to 4.8hz. We also put in 4GB RAM as standard but more is available at an extra cost.

Processor (CPU):  INTEL SANDYBRIDGE Core I5 2500K SKT1155
STANDARD CLOCK SPEED = 3.3Ghz Per Core
Motherboard:  ASUS P8Z68-V LX With New Z68 Chipset
Memory:  CORSAIR 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz

Venom, this cooler is definitely rock and roll. Venom delivers ultra high performance enabling serious system overclocking. The 12cm killer Viper yellow fan uses S-Flow blades providing 30% more airflow than a standard fan at the same speed. PWM function ensures quiet operation during normal system use and performance cooling under load.
The Black cover and nickel plated heatpipes combined with the Viper yellow elements creates a striking combination which adds pazazz to any system. Four high capacity 8mm heatpipes with direct CPU contact provide rapid heat transfer from CPU to 45 aluminium fins. Anti-vibration rubber fan mounting pins provide easy installation and help to elimate a lot of fan noise. Adjustable mountings ensure full compatibility with all current AMD and Intel CPU’s.
The Smart cooler design allows for the installation of a second fan, giving extreme performance in a push-pull setup where the first fan “pushes” air through the heatsink’s cooling fins, at the same time the second one “pulls” air through from the other side. The combined airflow of two 12cm fans results in more efficient heat dissipation and consequently lower CPU temperatures.

- Dimensions: 120 (W) x 96 (D) x 160 (H) mm
- Fan speed: 600-1900 RPM (PWM controlled)
- Max airflow: 83.63 CFM
- Noise level: 6.9 - 28.9 dB(A)
- Performance 12cm PWM fan in killer Viper yellow
- 4 high capacity 8mm heatpipes with direct CPU contact
- Award winning S-FLOW fan blades provide 30% more airflow
- Smart design allows for a 2nd fan for extreme performance
- Rubber fan mounts for easy installation and quiet performance
