BluBear Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Has anybody used the Scan 3XS OC custom shop and is it worth it? From what I can see, for example one could order this R7 bundle for £850 delivered, from the standard Scan site presumably tested but at stock speeds. Alternatively for only £21 more, one can get the same bundle, overclocked with a 24hr burn-in stress-test. Helpfully, one can also spec this with the desired 32GB Ram as well. Is it worth it, if this is something I could do myself at home? I suppose that if it's OC'd tested and ready before it arrives means that if it goes bang, it's their responsibility? Hmm...

DD_Arthur Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Wow. At these prices I'm starting to wonder about renting a virtual machine instead of owning a box of components that will be obsolete by year three? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I built my i5 rig 8 years ago, admittedly it's had a few upgrades over the years, notably GFX and RAM, but it's still essentially the same rig and I'm now looking for something to set me up for the next 5+ years that'll be VR capable. Having said that, it is the GFX card prices that make me shudder. Still beats playing golf 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluBear Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Just now, DD_Arthur said: I play golf...and I miss playing golf. It's a stock response, insert 'football season ticket', 'green fees and clubs', 'bondage club' etc... I'm sorry you can't go golfing at the moment though old chap, but there is end in sight now. Besides, there's always virtual entertainment! 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2. Administrators Jabo Posted February 25, 2021 2. Administrators Share Posted February 25, 2021 No, Shadow (at least) say that you can use your regular peripherals. The problem is that Shadow are not currently taking new customers (you can pre-order and start paying now though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
