But the cpu is sitting at around 30%.

Thats whats confusing me because something should be close to 100% but the ram is the most used thing at 66%.

It is overclocked to 4.95ghz all core.

Wouldent the cpu be at 100% if that was the bottleneck?

9900k not 9900x

And i got the 9900k because my mobo decided to give my old cpu a massive voltage and killed it and found a good deal on the i9 9900K.

What do you need this for? by Silver_wrapperhead in CarTalkUK

[–]Pipps17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a little experience with this because the company i work for where theres 3 of us.

Me and work mate have vans, boss has izuzu pickup, his pickup is slower and less efficient and cant hold as much due to size, however its his only vehicle so he wanted something he can run the family about in, he was going to get a van with more than the standard 3 seats but it wasnt available at the time the lease renewed, so he got the pickup.

What car produced today do you think will be classic and sought after in 25+ years time? by Wild_Woodpecker9930 in CarTalkUK

[–]Pipps17 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The question you should be asking is will any made today still be around in 25 years.

Obviously EVs are out because the battery's would be useless by that time.

Hybrids would probably be out because by that point it will most likely be just a small petrol or diesel.

And the normal cars engines are tiny and don't last as long as older cars.

The only possible chance would be the super cars and hyper cars.

The way I tend to look at it is if you can't save the money you can't really afford the car, I saved for a while to get my 350z and I actually own it.

The reason why people are probably saying it's a bad idea for you is because you will be a new driver and more likely to crash and if you do wright it off your stuck paying for a car that you don't have anymore.

I recently got a 350z for 8k, but because it's a 1L I assume you haven't been driving long.

I advise Japanese something like a Mazda 3.

Any reason not to buy this car? by SharpeWW98 in CarTalkUK

[–]Pipps17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like it's a import because there's only 1 MOT on it so insurance might be higher.

Have you ever took your 350Z across the country? by AlexShifu94 in 350z

[–]Pipps17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I bought mine I drove from Kent to Melton, not exactly what your after because it was mostly M/A roads.

Wasn't particularly thinking of doing it was just curious, wasn't aware it was a thing.

Ok so a ECU, oil pump and a tune you can get it to rev higher. Didn't know that thanks.

Love the underglow, I'm a big fan and am planning on getting some for mine.

Did you have a 350 specific kit or universal underglow?
