BluBear Posted February 23, 2021 Author 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... Quote
DD_Arthur Posted February 23, 2021 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

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

BluBear Posted February 23, 2021 Author 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

BluBear Posted February 23, 2021 Author Posted February 23, 2021 That would explain why @Painless has been hammering his rig so much it stopped working 1 Quote

1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted February 25, 2021 1. DDz Quorum Posted February 25, 2021 Ref a rented virtual Pc I don't get how things like joysticks would work? Play games yes, but via keyboard commands surely? Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted February 25, 2021 2. Administrators 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
