Scan Value System G35 Query

[Buckster76]

I build my own PCs (last one a 3770k with bits from Scan ), and have offered to build one for my dad, but he wants to go for a pre-built

he was impressed with the PC Pro review of the Scan Value System G35 - but I have a query please

the review is the top one in the 3XS reviews list (PC Pro - July 2012 - can't give link as not enough posts)

its odd though that the System linked to on the Scan website, makes no mention of it being pre-overclocked as per the review (and/or even including the large 3rd party cooler)

can you confirm these are indeed overclocked to 4.6 and come with the Thermalright HR-02 cooler please as per the PC Pro review ?

all the other overclocked systems state that they are overclocked, this one makes no mention of it

thanks

Hi Buckster,

Just had a quick look on the Scan website and I assume you're talking about this machine:

http://3xs.scan.co.uk/ShowSystem.asp?SystemID=1452

The system overview confirms: "Specially designed for gamers, the G35 OC features a quad-core Intel Core i5 3570K CPU which our engineers have overclocked from 3.4GHz to 4.6GHz and a 2GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 graphics card."

Also when you go to configure at the top the base components also state: Scan value Range G35 OC System. In this case the OC standing for overclocked.

However it would appear from the website that they are now using a different HSF and SSD than those mentioned in the review. There may be other things too but I noticed both of those.

I would also suggest filling out the form on this page for an accurate quote and confirmation as to what will be included in the system.

(A nod to Cactusjack for the above )

TLDR; I'm sure it is overclocked but it looks as though a few of the components have been changed.

Hope this helps

Glad to help

It did get a good score in the review and it still seems like a really good system to me even with the couple of changes.

Not being great with electronics at all I have used the Scan 3XS team for my last 2 PC builds and have been delighted with the results. Very clean builds and excellent advice along the way. I'm sure your dad will be very happy with this system.

indeed - I agree it looks a good system, and insides (although there will be slight changes) shown in the review look very nice, cabling is nice and tidy etc
