    Quite impressive temperatures considering that overclock. I'd seen the overclocked temperatures shown elsewhere as much higher for Ivy Bridge, so 68°C doesn't sound that bad.

    If I won the lottery, I'd probably get Scan to customise one of these for me (complete with a much quieter case and overall setup), but looks a goodly build there otherwise and from years of personal experience, Scan are lovely in terms of customer service.

    I'm also a Scan fan. I wish there were a few more choices, particularly regarding the SSD (I'd like the SanDisk 240Gb please) and PSU (I'd be after a 90%+ gold certified one here). I understand there'd be a minimum power standard needed for the PSU and a minimum size for the disk, but they do an 'other from the site' case option, and it'd be nice to see an equivalent here.

    they aren't particularly great overclockers.
    Oh how we've all been spoiled when we see that huge overclock as not particularly great.

    Hello I was wondering if I would be able to contact scan or a member of its staff about an alternate build for this system as the 3xs email does not appear to be working at the moment.
