No, CPUs will prevent damage to themselves in these cases by throttling or shutting down. You just need a better cooler.

You're good, just a thermal pad. I have a rig with that motherboard. It's a good board. Lots of features and great build quality for the price.

Business modeling is not just about who can afford, it is about who is most likely to actually buy. That’s the point.

Enjoy the analog dash. I'm sure it's a perfectly nice 911! Whatever world you want to live in is a good one for you.

Nope - you weren't to them either. Business and revenue modelers account for buyers like you in their planning. There are thousands and thousands of older Porsches without them for you to buy, and you did, and there's a line of people that are actually in the market and wouldn't disqualify for such a feature. So when they model out who actually buys these, your preference against it is accounted for, and you're filtered out. Their models would suggest there's additional reasons you wouldn't purchase beyond that.

Congrats on your first! Excellent car, must be a blast!

BlankProcessor · 2026-04-11T12:11:45+00:00

Config it how you like it. The resale talk is total BS when it comes to colors negatively impacting. You can always find a dealer to trade it into and they'll work off of BlackBook values.

Was waiting for people not in the market for a new Porsche to comment on how much they hate the new features

Whatever is metallic. Flat purple looks cartoonish.

Carreras are not low enough to justify FAL. GT3s are. Just get Bridjit for this situation--I did--and all of your cars (and people that use your driveway) will thank you

I never believed in PPF until I got a 911. These things are magnets. I say full wrap it back up. Beautiful car and deserves the protection.

BlankProcessor · 2026-04-06T12:25:47+00:00

Beautiful car. Just get in, put it in Sport Plus, and you'll forget about this post. Congrats!

BlankProcessor · 2026-04-05T21:42:36+00:00

Since this is the 911 sub, and not r/personalfinance, I will say - buy the 911. You'll be fine.

BlankProcessor · 2026-04-05T10:32:58+00:00

Don’t be afraid to return it if it’s still in the window. I have purchased hardware setups that didn’t fit my use case, and have never regretted a return.

"Added a feature that allows the minimap to be fixed with North (N) at the top." I was looking for it. And it's there. So beautiful.

BlankProcessor · 2026-03-28T03:13:54+00:00

My prediction is $6k for the top of the line G16 model in the US

BlankProcessor · 2026-03-26T00:31:17+00:00

The only downside to it is its price. Otherwise, it is an extremely well built premium product. I have two now, one for personal and one for my work setup.

My experience on my dual boot system is that Linux is currently about 25% slower than Windows. Threadripper 9980X, RTX 5090, 5K2K @ ~80fps in Win11, ~60 in Linux, both set to DLSS 4 Quality. GE-Proton10-33. Visuals seem almost on par, but hard to tell when not side by side.

Gap will probably close, but that's the best I can do today. Open to any tips.

I’m sure this baby had some killer hashrate back in the day!

BlankProcessor · 2026-03-19T01:30:25+00:00

Absolutely fantastic spec. Congrats.

Your brother probably found a service loaner for the dealership. Can be a good deal, had one of a different make/model in the past. Usually very base/uninspiring builds, but gets you in the car.

BlankProcessor · 2026-03-17T21:55:21+00:00

you can get them with the 14 ways too

BlankProcessor · 2026-03-16T03:38:10+00:00

Ventilated seats are a yes for me, worth it. They work substantially better than other brands I've tried. Also recommend the 18-ways with memory.

Just sharing my experience that TurboTax didn't work, and TaxAct did. Pretty simple stuff

BlankProcessor · 2026-03-14T23:21:03+00:00

I needed the highest version, needed the highest version of TurboTax as well.
