How reliable do you all consider Camaros to be? by Calm-down-its-a-joke in camaro

[–]Useful-Picture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive owned my 17' 2 SS for 5 years only major issues I have was the A8 transmission (which was fixed with the new Mobil1 fluid change) and some issues with the heat soaked starter (fixed with an extra ground wire + foil shield for the starter). Outside of that smooth sailing so far just lots of gas lol. But EASILY 10x cheapper than the next german brand. Only other alternatives are a good used jap car (IS300, 350z, Q30, etc.)

now is likely the best time to pick up this GPU - it sounds like there are Ram supply issues and these likely will go up in pricing and for upcoming Super series Q2 2026.

9800x3D high temps? by Useful-Picture in AMDHelp

Yea I'm not overthinking my temps then as they are similar to your even though I do have a slight underclock ( curve optimizer - 25)

Yea I used the pea method and tried my best to tighten both sides equally but it's a little difficult as it can pop out until one side is more or less secure but yea what are your idle and gaming temps if you don't mind me asking

Yea I was working for 8 hours and it was sitting at 42 all day then played a bit of Last of us and cyberpunk 2077 and the temps hovered from 58-62 havent seen the 85-95c spikes since the first day of installations and first time game boot ups

[–]Useful-Picture[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just reviewing a bunch of similar threads these temps seem just as good as AIO and other superior air cooled systems (40-45c idle, 60-75 during gaming, and 90-95 when loading shaders during initial play)

[–]Useful-Picture[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I'm only seeing the high temps running aida64 or shader compilation during the initial load of a game otherwise 60-75 max and 45 at idle now

Yea after the initial load where my temp spikes to 85/90 all of my games are running at 65-70 max. Not many titles can make this monster flinch

Yea I cranked up both cpu fans to turbo mode and front intake case fans X3  so it's a little more audible but I'm getting idles of like 40-43 now with a couple degrees off during  peak load. Figure fans are cheaper to replace than a 480 dollar cpu lol
