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...

The more I read about it, the more I'm inclined to save some cash and go for this R7 5800X bundle and up the RAM to 32GB, instead of the R9 bundle I had my eye on. The latter seems to be snapped up or scalped so quickly whenever back in stock. The pennies saved I can put towards a 3080 when they're finally available...

Thanks old chap, I'll take a look. What mobo bundle did you order out of interest?

Had a Ryzen 9 bundle in my basket (in stock) at Scan for all of 10 minutes before it went back to pre-order! Darn it.

That's a right bugger Mick, sorry to hear your technical issues remain unresolved! Patrick Last, reporting in.

It appears that the A-10 team have now removed Sywell from their schedule. Possible covid travel restrictions from the US or worse, the cancellation of Legends. We'll see.
