Can't comment on BMW/Audi CPO, but for me it was 2 years from when you buy it if at any time you'd fall outside of the original 6 year warranty. I think a CPO is a must have for a luxury/sports car if you want that peace of mind.
I bought a luxury/sports car CPO that was 5 years old at the time last year and couldn't be happier. Maintenance for the marque has a reputation for being relatively inexpensive though.
I think only you can answer whether or not you think spending that chunk of money on a car is "wise" or not...
I say do it on the condition that you'll have a garage... I was in a similar situation and decided that a garage is a must have, as well as comprehensive insurance!
I heard turning LLC on decreases the Vdroop effect (however in my case it actually seems to be inverse Vdroop). I originally had LLC off but I turned it on and didn't run into any problems until I cranked up the FSB. If you don't mind me asking Dopekitten, what are you running at?
I've been running stable my E8400 @ 3.8GHz (9x442 @ 1.3V in BIOS) with temps at 37/52 so I decided to push for 4.0GHz (9x445 @ 1.3V in BIOS) but I got BSOD in Windows. I then tested voltages up to 1.33125V and I was still unstable, so I gave up and went back to my old settings for 3.8GHz, only...
I think all you have to do is put the BIOS on the flash drive and hit ALT+F2 at the start and it will go into EZ Flash 2. I just did that yesterday for updating mine.
I just got an E8400 and the P5Q-E and I'm running it at 9x400 @ 1.25(in BIOS, 1.232 in CPU-Z load) but I feel like my temps are little high. They're at 45 idle and 60 load from Speedfan. I read that E8400 were having funky temps but I'm not sure how to deal with it. I got the 803 BIOS and I'm...
Here's an update on my situation. I plan on ordering them from Newegg after the 8th.
The changes I've made to the first build are:
Mobo: Asus P5Q-E
Cooler: Xigmatek HDT-S1283
Memory: 8GB G.Skill DDR2 1000
PSU: PCP&C Silencer 750
GPU: ATI 4870
I know the PSU is a little more than I...
Yeah that's the one I'm talking about. I read on Newegg that it was a little longer than the standard so I got concerned but it looks like it shouldn't be a problem from what you're saying.
EDIT: I just looked at the specs for the PSU on the PCP&C website and it said it's 7.1'' deep, so it's...
I was wondering if any of you ran into problems with a longer PSU like the PCP&C Silencer 610 and the top mounted fan on the case? If you don't have the PSU in question, would it be possible to provide a measurement of the length between the back and the fan? I'm having trouble getting...
I read that certain individuals were having problems installing 64bit Vista with 4GB of RAM and had to install it with 2GB first, patch it to SP1 before putting in the other stick. My question is, having the SP1 slipstreamed with the install disc should alleviate this problem right?
Another...
I am going to build a new system with E8400 this summer and was wondering which P35 motherboard you guys are using? I've read around and saw that while most boards with the P35 chipset offer similar performance, some are better than others for overclocking (which I intend to do). My first choice...
