Intel® Optane™ Memory Supported

Intel® Optane™ memory is a revolutionary new class of non-volatile memory that sits in between system memory and storage to accelerate system performance and responsiveness. When combined with the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Driver, it seamlessly manages multiple tiers of storage while presenting one virtual drive to the OS, ensuring that data frequently used resides on the fastest tier of storage. Intel® Optane™ memory requires specific hardware and software configuration.

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology dynamically increases the processor's frequency as needed by taking advantage of thermal and power headroom to give you a burst of speed when you need it, and increased energy efficiency when you don’t.

Intel® vPro™ Platform Eligibility

Intel® vPro™ Technology is a set of security and manageability capabilities built into the processor aimed at addressing four critical areas of IT security: 1) Threat management, including protection from rootkits, viruses, and malware 2) Identity and web site access point protection 3) Confidential personal and business data protection 4) Remote and local monitoring, remediation, and repair of PCs and workstations.

Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x)

Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x) allows one hardware platform to function as multiple “virtual” platforms. It offers improved manageability by limiting downtime and maintaining productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions.

Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d)

Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) continues from the existing support for IA-32 (VT-x) and Itanium® processor (VT-i) virtualization adding new support for I/O-device virtualization. Intel VT-d can help end users improve security and reliability of the systems and also improve performance of I/O devices in virtualized environments.

Intel® VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT)

Intel® VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT), also known as Second Level Address Translation (SLAT), provides acceleration for memory intensive virtualized applications. Extended Page Tables in Intel® Virtualization Technology platforms reduces the memory and power overhead costs and increases battery life through hardware optimization of page table management.

Intel® TSX-NI

Intel® Transactional Synchronization Extensions New Instructions (Intel® TSX-NI) are a set of instructions focused on multi-threaded performance scaling. This technology helps make parallel operations more efficient via improved control of locks in software.

Intel® 64

Intel® 64 architecture delivers 64-bit computing on server, workstation, desktop and mobile platforms when combined with supporting software.¹ Intel 64 architecture improves performance by allowing systems to address more than 4 GB of both virtual and physical memory.

Instruction Set

An instruction set refers to the basic set of commands and instructions that a microprocessor understands and can carry out. The value shown represents which Intel’s instruction set this processor is compatible with.

Instruction Set Extensions

Instruction Set Extensions are additional instructions which can increase performance when the same operations are performed on multiple data objects. These can include SSE (Streaming SIMD Extensions) and AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions).

Idle States

Idle States (C-states) are used to save power when the processor is idle. C0 is the operational state, meaning that the CPU is doing useful work. C1 is the first idle state, C2 the second, and so on, where more power saving actions are taken for numerically higher C-states.

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology is an advanced means of enabling high performance while meeting the power-conservation needs of mobile systems. Conventional Intel SpeedStep® Technology switches both voltage and frequency in tandem between high and low levels in response to processor load. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology builds upon that architecture using design strategies such as Separation between Voltage and Frequency Changes, and Clock Partitioning and Recovery.

Thermal Monitoring Technologies

Thermal Monitoring Technologies protect the processor package and the system from thermal failure through several thermal management features. An on-die Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) detects the core's temperature, and the thermal management features reduce package power consumption and thereby temperature when required in order to remain within normal operating limits.

Intel® Identity Protection Technology

Intel® Identity Protection Technology is a built-in security token technology that helps provide a simple, tamper-resistant method for protecting access to your online customer and business data from threats and fraud. Intel® IPT provides a hardware-based proof of a unique user’s PC to websites, financial institutions, and network services; providing verification that it is not malware attempting to login. Intel® IPT can be a key component in two-factor authentication solutions to protect your information at websites and business log-ins.

30 DAY UPGRADE WARRANTY


Should you receive your CUSTOM PC or CUSTOM LAPTOP and you want to make any change ( excludes case ) such as extra memory , hdds , ssds , etc we will collect your PC and perform the upgrade for the cost of the extra components only. If there are components which need to be returned to complete the upgrade then we will credit you the amount charged for the component when purchased against the upgrade component. There will be no collection , return or labour charge within 30 days of you having received your new custom pc. You must inform us in writing by email before the end of the 30 days period quoting your order number and the upgrade you require. AIO Liquid Coolers and PC Cases are excluded from the 30 DAY UPGRADE WARRANTY.

 

90 DAY UPGRADE WARRANTY


Should you want to upgrade your CUSTOM PC within 90 Days of receipt we can collect your PC ( and return ) for a fee of €49.99. You can upgrade memory and other components without paying a labour charge for the installation of the upgrade components and we will allow a trade in of any returned components related to the upgrade at up to 75% of their original value. The only exception to the upgrade warranty is AIO Liquid Coolers and PC Cases.

 

2 YEAR COLLECT & RETURN WARRANTY


Our Custom PCs come with a 2 year collect & return warranty which means should there be any hardware failure within 2 years from the date of purchase we will collect the PC , repair and return. Software is excluded from the warranty as is customer induced damage or damage from misuse which includes for example over-clocking or damage caused from opening the PC , etc.

 

3 YEAR COLLECT & RETURN WARRANTY


As on option on our Custom PCs and LAPTOPS a 3 year collect & return warranty can be added for an additional cost which means should there be any hardware failure within 2 years from the date of purchase we will collect the PC , repair and return, and in year 3 of your warranty we will include Collection & Return as well as a Zero Labour Fee Promise , Hardware may not be covered in year 3 however we will always verify this with the manufacturer. Software is excluded from the warranty, as is customer induced damage or damage from misuse which includes for example over-clocking or damage caused from opening the PC , etc.. Please note that certain components are excluded by their respective manufacturers from the 3rd year of the of the warranty however if this is the case then we will supply the component for cost price and fit under warranty which means no labour costs.

 

 

COMPONENT & ACCESSORY WARRANTY

Components and Accessories are covered by their respective manufacturers warranty and you should always contact the manufacturers support first. We are however , always here to help, and if you need help or advice please contact our support. Most Manufacturers have returns procedures in place and do not allow us to accept their returns. We cannot accept most components or accessories for return after 30 days from date of purchase however we will always endeavour to assist our customers and we will contact the manufacturer on our customers behalf. If you need to know which manufacturers offer direct support and which do not then please contact our support staff and we will get the information for you. We can also offer advise when warranty is refused by the manufacturer or if you need advice on whether an item is covered by warranty. Customer induced damage for example bent pins on cpus or motherboards or thermal paste on cpu sockets is not covered by warranty nor is physical or accidental damage. When we are dealing with a manufacturer or their agent in relation to a customers component return we are acting on behalf our customer and in the interest of our customer and we will not provide our own technical reports or findings unless requested to do so by our customer. Our customers are welcome to return components to us at anytime during the warranty period however the manufacturer may not accept the return from ourselves which is why we may ask the customer to contact the manufacturer to complete the return and to speak to the support at the manufacturer. In most cases the manufacturers support and returns offer a quicker service than returning to ourselves first however we can always accept the return and provide a technical report to give our customer our opinion as to whether the manufacturer will accept a return under warranty. If a component comes with Extended or Lifetime Warranty from the Manufacturer is it expected by them that you the customer will register your purchase with them to avail of the extended of lifetime warranty so we recommend you do this as soon as you receive your order as not to forget. Manufactuers have the right to refuse warranty and unfortunately they have the last word on the warranty but we will always fight for our customers rights. We do ask customers to be honest and truthful as this will allow us the best opportunity to get the right solution from the manufacturer always. Manufacturers are always suspicious of components handled by home pc builders as they have been opened and handled outside of a professional envirnoment so this is one of the first things manufacturers look at when a component is returned with overclocking being the second item they look for. If a processor , memory or graphics card has been over clocked most if not all manufactures will be able to confirm this as there is a logic gateway which is opened once the component goes beyond a certain level and this does not close and cannot be closed so if open the manufacturer knows the component was overclocked ( this is a simple explanation to the logic gateway only ) so if a component has been overclocked it is best to admit this from the beginning as not providing this detail and it being found is likely to be met by the manufacturer voiding the warranty once they confirm the overclocking took place were as if the overclocking was known about they will on most occasions look past this and look for the reason why the component failed and if the failure was not related to the overclocking most manufacturers will have no issues with covering the warranty however there are expections to this with Intel and AMD who always void warranty were overclocking has taken place so if you overclock a processor you immedietly void your warranty and this is beyond our control. We will always provide information which is the best interest of our customers but it is important that we have the correct and truthful information as without this it is impossible for us to fight for our customer against a manufacturer. We have good relations with almost all of the main manufacturers and our technicians speak with many of the technicians who deal with testing at the manufacturers so we have the means to get information which may be beyond that of a customer placing a return.

 

We are here to always help and provide assistance to our customers and were there is an issue with obtaining warranty from the manufacturer we will always keep the customer informed and provide them with the information we receive from the manufacturer. We will provide accurate information to allow our customers to make the best decisions when it comes to out of warranty components or components where the manufacturer or we have refused warranty.

PC COMPONENT & ACCESSORIES ORDERS

We endeavour to ship component orders quickly but please understand that the bulk of our stock is stored at our logistics facility in Germany so when an order is placed the goods are then shipped to Ireland at the end of each evening which can take 1-5 days depending on the items being ordered. Monitors and large items can only be shipped by Roadfreight to Ireland which means monitors will always take no less than 5 days to arrive with us here in Ireland. We do not offer next day delivery on components to customers in Ireland and delivery on components is estimated at 3-7 business days on average and for larger items 6-9 business days. We do not delay and we will always do our best to ship orders as quickly as possible but sometimes living on an island like Ireland can create unforeseen delays for example bed weather can at times add to the delivery times and sometimes the bank holidays in Ireland differ to those in Germany and Europe which can also add to the delivery times. If we are aware of a delay we do try to reach out to the customer to explain the delay and why it has happened and if possible offer an alternative option if the delay is related to stock availability. If the delay is related however to weather or holidays there is very little we can do expect wait. We try to avoid shipping direct from our German warehouse to customers in Ireland however on occasions with delayed orders we can do this to limit the delay. 

Component Orders to Spain , Portugal and Germany are shipped direct from our logistics location in Germany to homes and businesses in each country by Roadfreight with delivery times varying for each country. Spain and Portugal the delivery time is 4-6 business days with the delivery time in Germany being 2-3 business days.

Please note that certain components are excluded by their respective manufacturers from the 3rd year of the of the warranty however if this is the case then we will supply the component for cost price and fit under warranty which means no labour costs.

 

 

COMPONENT & ACCESSORY WARRANTY

Components and Accessories are covered by their respective manufacturers warranty and you should always contact the manufacturers support first. We are however , always here to help, and if you need help or advice please contact our support. Most Manufacturers have returns procedures in place and do not allow us to accept their returns. We cannot accept most components or accessories for return after 30 days from date of purchase however we will always endeavour to assist our customers and we will contact the manufacturer on our customers behalf. If you need to know which manufacturers offer direct support and which do not then please contact our support staff and we will get the information for you. We can also offer advise when warranty is refused by the manufacturer or if you need advice on whether an item is covered by warranty. Customer induced damage for example bent pins on cpus or motherboards or thermal paste on cpu sockets is not covered by warranty nor is physical or accidental damage. When we are dealing with a manufacturer or their agent in relation to a customers component return we are acting on behalf our customer and in the interest of our customer and we will not provide our own technical reports or findings unless requested to do so by our customer. Our customers are welcome to return components to us at anytime during the warranty period however the manufacturer may not accept the return from ourselves which is why we may ask the customer to contact the manufacturer to complete the return and to speak to the support at the manufacturer. In most cases the manufacturers support and returns offer a quicker service than returning to ourselves first however we can always accept the return and provide a technical report to give our customer our opinion as to whether the manufacturer will accept a return under warranty. If a component comes with Extended or Lifetime Warranty from the Manufacturer is it expected by them that you the customer will register your purchase with them to avail of the extended of lifetime warranty so we recommend you do this as soon as you receive your order as not to forget. Manufactuers have the right to refuse warranty and unfortunately they have the last word on the warranty but we will always fight for our customers rights. We do ask customers to be honest and truthful as this will allow us the best opportunity to get the right solution from the manufacturer always. Manufacturers are always suspicious of components handled by home pc builders as they have been opened and handled outside of a professional envirnoment so this is one of the first things manufacturers look at when a component is returned with overclocking being the second item they look for. If a processor , memory or graphics card has been over clocked most if not all manufactures will be able to confirm this as there is a logic gateway which is opened once the component goes beyond a certain level and this does not close and cannot be closed so if open the manufacturer knows the component was overclocked ( this is a simple explanation to the logic gateway only ) so if a component has been overclocked it is best to admit this from the beginning as not providing this detail and it being found is likely to be met by the manufacturer voiding the warranty once they confirm the overclocking took place were as if the overclocking was known about they will on most occasions look past this and look for the reason why the component failed and if the failure was not related to the overclocking most manufacturers will have no issues with covering the warranty however there are expections to this with Intel and AMD who always void warranty were overclocking has taken place so if you overclock a processor you immedietly void your warranty and this is beyond our control. We will always provide information which is the best interest of our customers but it is important that we have the correct and truthful information as without this it is impossible for us to fight for our customer against a manufacturer. We have good relations with almost all of the main manufacturers and our technicians speak with many of the technicians who deal with testing at the manufacturers so we have the means to get information which may be beyond that of a customer placing a return.

 

We are here to always help and provide assistance to our customers and were there is an issue with obtaining warranty from the manufacturer we will always keep the customer informed and provide them with the information we receive from the manufacturer. We will provide accurate information to allow our customers to make the best decisions when it comes to out of warranty components or components where the manufacturer or we have refused warranty.

PC COMPONENT & ACCESSORIES ORDERS

We endeavour to ship component orders quickly but please understand that the bulk of our stock is stored at our logistics facility in Germany so when an order is placed the goods are then shipped to Ireland at the end of each evening which can take 1-5 days depending on the items being ordered. Monitors and large items can only be shipped by Roadfreight to Ireland which means monitors will always take no less than 5 days to arrive with us here in Ireland. We do not offer next day delivery on components to customers in Ireland and delivery on components is estimated at 3-7 business days on average and for larger items 6-9 business days. We do not delay and we will always do our best to ship orders as quickly as possible but sometimes living on an island like Ireland can create unforeseen delays for example bed weather can at times add to the delivery times and sometimes the bank holidays in Ireland differ to those in Germany and Europe which can also add to the delivery times. If we are aware of a delay we do try to reach out to the customer to explain the delay and why it has happened and if possible offer an alternative option if the delay is related to stock availability. If the delay is related however to weather or holidays there is very little we can do expect wait. We try to avoid shipping direct from our German warehouse to customers in Ireland however on occasions with delayed orders we can do this to limit the delay. 

Component Orders to Spain , Portugal and Germany are shipped direct from our logistics location in Germany to homes and businesses in each country by Roadfreight with delivery times varying for each country. Spain and Portugal the delivery time is 4-6 business days with the delivery time in Germany being 2-3 business days.
