Scan 3XS H55 - Radius Edition GTX review

Confused over specs

I was having a look at this on the Scan website as a possible new desktop and I'm a bit puzzled. In the review you say it has an overclocked Core i7-750. When I look on Scan it says it is actually an i5-760 overclocked to 3.6Ghz. And sure enough when I check the specification tab you have attached to this review it also says it is and i5-760. So it appears like an error has been made in your review.

It doesn't make masses of difference to me but could you confirm it does use the i5 rather than the i7 in the review if this is a mistake. Some people get terribly upset by these things!

Specs

Hevster - thanks for pointing out the typo in the review; it was indeed an i5-750 - at least in the system we were sent - and it's now been changed.

Thanks again,

Mike

As with some of our systems you just have to pull off the fan to add RAM, not the whole CPU cooler. Also the i5 750 is being replaced with the i5 760 by Intel so most vendors are updating systems from i5 750 to 760 for no extra cost.

Graphics card

Hi,

Can you confirm the graphics card in this machine? The review mentions an overclocked Gainward GTX460 but on the Scan website there appears to be no such option and the pre-selected card is an EVGA GTX460 (which does not mention if it's overclocked).

Thanks
