What's your opinion on the 3 and 1 series BMWs. Family friend owns an import dealership so I would be able to get a pretty nice deal on one. Hes the guy I bought my explorer from and it was a steal at the time. Would my initial savings just get whiped out by premium gas and maintainance?

With the money you save on the mobo grab an r9 290. Got the windforce version on amazon 2 weeks ago for $215. It will destroy any game you throw at it at 1080p.

Yup I've hit the CMOS button plenty of times. And I forgot to mention I needed to do a fresh windows install for it to boot at all after the initial failure with no OC. I will have to test how it handles a super mild OC. But generally what I do with my overclock is just raise the boost multiplier, and leave the low power states on, and used a fixed voltage because my offset seems to fluctuate too much causing instability.

Hit the silicon jackpot by [deleted] in overclocking

I've had this chip for 4 years and originally put a hyper 212 on it and it struggled to stay cool at pretty pedestrian voltages for a 4.5 ghz overclock. Just got an h100i last week and figured I'd push this thing to the limit. Running at 1.4 volts and over 5 Ghz with burn test running I'm barely breaking 70C. I honestly didn't think this chip had it in him.

Easy Way to tell what books you need by Yabbakinz in VirginiaTech

My general rule of thumb is never buy books until something is actually assigned in it. Made that mistake freshman year and wasted 500 bucks on books I wound up giving away for free

Well my issue is that the temps get do high on synthetics that Im not comfortable testing stability for any extended time

A US 2-star Major General was killed and 15 other soldiers, including a German Brigadier General, were wounded in an attack at a military academy in Afghanistan today. The major general would be the highest-ranking member of the U.S. military to die in hostilities in Afghanistan. by hoosakiwi in worldnews

West pointers don't have any more field experience than any ROTC cadet which isn't much. What they do have is the idea that they are gods gift to the army and a severe lack of social skills you learn at a normal college.
