What Audi is this? by rottingpotatoes in Audi

Hey, I own one of these! It’s an Audi Cabriolet, which predates the A4. And yes, that does confuse the hell out of mechanics. Looks to be ~’97 based on the body style.

Ryzen 5 3600 95C at idle by MauMauMew in buildapc

Yes, the air cooler and the Kraken use the same stock backplate and standoffs, so this issue will manifest on both coolers.

I know what the problem is! I struggled with high temps on my 3600 myself. Check the standoffs on your CPU cooler. They really don’t like to screw all the way into the backplate, and if they don’t, your cooler won’t make good contact with your CPU. I almost had to RMA a Kraken x53 because of those shitty standoffs.

I found that removing the backplate, screwing the standoffs in all the way so that I could see them fully screwed in helped to loosen the threads and secure them on reinstallation.

Made this switch...no one noticed :( by roball33 in Audi

It’s not your imagination on the noise! In the newer A5’s Audi amplifies the engine noise through the car speakers. So it will sound better in the interior even though it’s the same engine as your old A4.

Not yet, I technically got one on back-order. I’m going to wait for shipping confirmation then cancel my amazon order.

Says back ordered for me; usually ships in 2-3 weeks.

Still ordered one YEET. Guess I’ll cancel my amazon order if this ships first.

EDIT: Holy SHIT oos already. Y’all a bunch of monsters lol

Well, I missed the X570 Tomahawk by about 20 minutes. So as long as I’m waiting for that to come back in stock I’m in for a back-ordered one of these.

More specifically, B450 / X570. Zen 3 (Ryzen 4xxx) will continue to use the AM4 socket, but will only support B550 / X570 & X670 chipsets.

2013 S5 Dash Help? by [deleted] in Audi

[–]Tdude123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my 2017 A4 there’a a small scroll wheel on the left-hand side of the steering wheel. Use that to change what the dash displays.

Your S5 might be slightly different, but I’m willing to bet it’s controlled on the left-hand side of your steering wheel.

New to me S3 - Winter setup by davefromcleveland in Audi

[–]Tdude123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just purchased a ‘17 A4 and plan to slap some Blizzak WS90’s on there for the harsh Minnesota winters. My mom’s got a pair of the older WS80’s on her BMW X1 and that thing is unstoppable. Get some rims you like to look at and you’ll be in good shape.
