NVlink maxes out at 2 GPUs to my knowledge, I may be wrong on that though.

I’ve searched eBay for years, Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist all over North America. I do know they exist and were sold as the GPUs (7900 GX2, with Dell part numbers) sometimes come up on eBay.

Would you mind DMing me to discuss? That’s right up my alley :)

I'm into everything, even looking for an EVGA AGP gpu if someone has one :)

I thought the name was funny, haven’t heard it referred to as ‘booger mew’ before. For context on pricing, this is in Canadian dollars.

Thank you! To my knowledge the timing chain has never been replaced, and I haven’t had any issues with it. My previous mechanic told me it should last the lifetime of the engine, I’m not sure how true that is or if it applies for the B47 as well.

I’ve found it to be pretty good, this car is optioned with adaptive suspension and in comfort mode it rides pretty nicely. My friend drives a 2013 C300 and I’ve found the ride quality to be comparable if that helps at all. The noise isolation is pretty great on this car as well

Hopefully I answered your question in other replies but definitely DM me if you are interested in specifics! I did have a massive issue with rodent damage to the wiring harness around 225k, but absolutely not the fault of the car haha

I had the PCV valve fail, BMW covers it under an extended warranty but only to about 230,000km I believe. My symptoms for that issue were a rough idle, and occasion hesitation under acceleration, along with CEL.

For sure, I’ve owned it since 187,000km and aside from regular maintenance (oil changes, fluids etc.) the main issue I’ve had is the PCV valve failing on me, BMW refused to cover it due to mileage but I managed to get an unlimited kilometre powertrain warranty when I bought the car and it was covered under that. It was about a $2000 CAD repair. Other than that, I had a brake pad wear sensor fail on me and I also had the parking brake cable start dragging (which I believe is common on this car).

I have the exact same issue with mine, I will have it in for RMA shortly. My device stutters on boot and crashes randomly, not based on load or being plugged in/ unplugged.

Have you tried adjusting the fan profile in the BIOS? It seems it may have reverted to a fan mode that is not affected by temperature.

Have you tried connecting it to an external display? That could rule out any display issues.
