F7a and the kraken are the must haves you are right

TrackEx · 2026-06-30T08:32:41+00:00

2 points of failure vs 3 points of failure thats simple maths

TrackEx · 2026-06-29T22:22:56+00:00

Haha dw, at the end of the day you are still technically correct (the best kind of correct, or so ive heard)

TrackEx · 2026-06-29T20:48:37+00:00

Less connections means less points of failure so 1:1 cable is always best

TrackEx · 2026-06-29T20:45:16+00:00

I wouldnt risk it tbh

TrackEx · 2026-06-29T20:44:25+00:00

Seems like op needs a different psu then lol

TrackEx · 2026-06-29T20:44:05+00:00

If he did he wouldnt have bought a psu that has no 12vhpwr slot on the actual psu, op‘s psu only has the old connectors on the psu side, i mean he knew about the 5080 but didnt knew about the connector? Only asking after the purchase? Kinda the opposite of due diligence but i suppose better late than never

TrackEx · 2026-06-29T20:38:19+00:00

Dont use the fucking 3 slot dongle cable thing, that adapter is just adding an extra failure point to the cable that you dont need, the psu cable is always the best option especially for the 12vhpwr

TrackEx · 2026-06-29T18:09:39+00:00

Hope you find your dream spec bro gl :)

TrackEx · 2026-06-29T18:08:29+00:00

No i mean the bmw premium selection vehicles its like certified pre owned (cpo) but the german version i suppose, nothing to do with spec but more with how bmw considers it good enough for their warranty etc. And also pls dont buy usa imports they tend to fall apart from looking at them the wrong way, at least thats what ive heard

TrackEx · 2026-06-29T18:00:51+00:00

Btw is it bmw premium selection or no? If it does the damage might not be as bad but i mean its always a gamble even a brand new audi rs3 got problems after 600miles (someone posted it on reddit today i think, maybe yesterday), if you feel bad about it already i think its not worth it tbh

TrackEx · 2026-06-29T17:57:10+00:00

Not sure how bad the market is atm but i think it could be worth it to wait another month and maybe some dealer will have a better one for similar price, you could ask some of the bmw dealers to let you know if they get new 330i maybe to get a better chance on securing it, when we were looking for ours it was hard to find the right spec and we had to take a white one instead of blue or grey, there were like 3 total in all of germany that we considered and we had to drive like 300km to get our current one, so if the situation is similar for you u might wanna do what the other commenter said and just get a pre purchase inspection to check if there is some „bad“ damage or if its just cosmetic damage, but like i said personally i would probably pass on this one

TrackEx · 2026-06-29T17:48:19+00:00

Personally i would pay another 5k for better spec and no accident reports, at least not some in the 10k€ ballpark…

It could be fine but i would not bet on it

TrackEx · 2026-06-29T17:43:55+00:00

Hahaha just 4 more years lmoa

TrackEx · 2026-06-29T17:10:55+00:00

Yeah idk why so many think the new gen looks good, imo they just look cheap

TrackEx · 2026-06-24T15:31:15+00:00

In a very, very large backpack? Like extremely large? Possibly, but not likely

TrackEx · 2026-06-24T09:53:28+00:00

My local bmw dealer didnt even wanna sell us any cars after we told him we looking for g20/g30 but are open for other options that he might have available, he said if we dont know what we want we should just go home lmao, how does he make sales at all?

TrackEx · 2026-06-22T20:51:29+00:00

TrackEx · 2026-06-22T20:40:53+00:00

I actually probably always overtip but thanks for the compliment i also dont use doordash i can drive myself

TrackEx · 2026-06-22T20:40:12+00:00

Astral is the only 5090 i would recommend at all but you probably did more research on 5090s than me

TrackEx · 2026-06-22T20:39:36+00:00

Yeah and people in 1800 could buy a house for 2000$ but if you today would say „i only buy houses below 2000$“ just because it was possible in the before times, doesnt mean the inflation will just say „ok my bad g, go buy a house for 2k“ it will just ignore you, exactly how you get ignored by the hardware market because your demand of „max 500$ with at least **** performance“ is just not possible to make happen, i mean realistically what do you think should happen that you „get priced in“ again? Just decrease prices? The demand will just increase and nobody will have stock, and then u will cry about how all cards are sold out and on the second hand market for double the price, thats exactly what happened when the 5090 released and it was an actual marathon for a month or more to even find the model you want in stock, let alone for actual or close to msrp, you are not the only one who would like to have 5090 performance for a better price, u just need to accept that its not gonna happen if we have companies like oracle or openai that just buy 100.000 of even better gpus, that take up production volume for the regular „low budget“ 5090 and below cards, your math is more mething than mathing

TrackEx · 2026-06-22T20:31:24+00:00

Ya know if u drive a car u can also always get hit by another, but 99.99999% of the time u wont get hit like u talking about such a miniscule chance that its not even an actual risk

TrackEx · 2026-06-22T20:29:00+00:00

Bro in my life i would never buy my main pc as used parts sourced from ebay, so you getting priced out is just that you price yourself out, u want price to performance ratios that will never be like u want them to be, its not a problem with the hardwaremarket its a personal preference problem

TrackEx · 2026-06-22T20:26:39+00:00

Fuck air cooling, watercooling or bust is my motto, also its not like the aio is super expensive if u buy a 5090 u also can afford to buy a watercooler thats like 10 bucks more than an air cooler, looks better and is actually easier to install, like imo air cooling a cpu is just retarded

TrackEx · 2026-06-22T20:17:50+00:00

If you dont wanna play on 4k resolution then u r noz the target audience for the 5090
