    What vehicle do you drive?

    Better have a mechanic look at the 150 first, 48k is still an awful lot for something that could have been damaged at some point, or neglected. There's a good chunk of owners that do ZERO maintenance, even oil changes.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    If you do much expressway driving you'll notice the difference, mileage shouldn't change too much elsewhere. Maybe don't get it if you're using this as a commute vehicle for very long.

    I had the same symptoms once a month or so in high and low intensity games (3700x/32gb/5700xt/msi gaming+ x570,) nothing seemed to fix it till I tweaked the SOC voltage up in the BIOS and made the system really unstable. Checking online the shitty MSI board's default soc voltage was 100-200mv...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    One of the last top tier exotics with manual and no aids. Killing Paul Walker makes it the real hero car in my book. They tried to corner on an LA street, at 100mph, with old tires turned to stone, classic ygwyfd.

    Good thing BMW would never make engine critical components out of plastic Though way too much is made out of plastic in almost any new car now.

    Can't you still just order most models, (that aren't corvette/bronco etc), from the factory a few months ahead of time for near msrp? Last year it only took 2 months, one month before estimated, dealer didn't even want money down since they knew it'd sell fast if I somehow didn't pick it up...

    Keyboards & Mice

    While that's correct, Logitec in particular under-volts the hell out of them, to the point where even a modest amount of wear plus humidity triggers double clicks.

    The fact you have to preemptively soldier in replacement switches for Logitech mice (which aren't cheap,) might be a sign you shouldn't be buying anything from them. Designed to fail.

    Might have went a bit overkill on winters Old and new Integras are mostly upbranded Civics, which isn't a bad thing. Lot of compact cars, but especially Hondas, have been uglified by high headlights/bumper regs.

    Was on sale for $180 https://www.newegg.com/brown-dowinx-ls-668902-chair-with-accessory/p/2T4-029X-00025?Item=9SIAKUYC4S1912 Pretty fancy for cheap chinese plastic. Why do so many chairs have hard armrests instead of this:

    Model 3 is switching to lithium-IRON batteries, which are particularly bad in cold weather. Don't expect more then half of their quoted range on the coldest NY mornings. Hope you don't mind turning off the heat / recharging while it's 0F outside to make it home, when the batteries start ageing.

    Wait till he finds out 18 wheelers have diesels. :smuggly: They don't have much in common at all with a gas v6. Ford's pushing out v8s from F150s for regulators and large capitol investors, not due to quality or consumer demand.

    The <2.0s number is a flat out lie, it gives the car a 1 ft head start as well as tire glue (which you'll only find on a drag-strip, and no licensed drag strip will allow sub 10s quarter mile cars with no roll cage.) People regurgitating manufacturer 0-60 numbers really should understand how...

    1080 to 3080 doesn't just skyrocket power demands, it also explodes usage of cpu/etc via raw fps & driver requirements. That big an upgrade can expose weaknesses in a system. As we all know, if there's any weakness in your system, it needs to be disposed of ASAP! Also, unless you're a...

    10700k (11700k & 11900k) are mostly just 9900k s. If you're being smart and getting a R5/R7 5000 series, then yeah a monster cooler would be fairly pointless in gaming.
