Re: The What You've just Bought thread! Just got my refi approved. 3.5% for 15 years. Yay, lower payments and cut 10 years off the loan. I might actually be able to retire.

Re: The What You've just Bought thread! I should replant my tomatoes and cucumbers that the hail storm destroyed. Oddly enough the 4x6 area of strawberries that I planted 3 years ago are still going strong.

Re: The What You've just Bought thread! I'm very likely buying this as soon as I can figure out how to get it the 1000 miles back to my house without spending 1000 on shipping

Re: The What You've just Bought thread! A new avatar on the SA forums because someone thought they would be clever and give me a really terrible red title.

Re: The What You've just Bought thread! I got em off the outlet store, so they were only like 418 bucks each.

Re: The What You've just Bought thread! You can have my 27" Dell IPS monitors when you pry them from my cold dead hands. I was looking at the specs yesterday to check something, and I HOPE that when freesync becomes a thing, these will be firmware upgradeable to work, since they are dp 1.2a.

Re: The What You've just Bought thread! Gonna buy one of these today, just can't decide which. Amazon.com: Corsair Gaming Audio Series SP2500 High-Power 2.1 PC Speaker System (CA-SP211NA): Electronics...

Re: The What You've just Bought thread! There was one just south of the airport which is about 10 miles north of me, a 2nd one about 3 miles south of my house and another one about 5 miles west of my house. The entire area is beat all to hell. Luckily I have no west facing windows so its just...

Re: The What You've just Bought thread! A new roof and new siding for my house due to the giant hail storm this week. Yay.

It's super easy to delid the new chips.

Re: The What You've just Bought thread! Oh hell, I thought you already picked one up. I still can't even order one yet >< I have full Focal mids and highs that will be going from the TDI to the R, along with a custom 10" sub built in behind the wheelwell. I just don't want to move the head...

Liquid pro and ultra are only really useful for replacing the tim under the lid. For between cooler/chip you're still fine with any of the normal thermal interfaces. Part of the problem with the last 2 generations of chips is that they are no longer soldered to the lid and have crappy...

Re: The What You've just Bought thread! This is why I'm -not- buying the blue one. Everyone and their dog is going to be driving that color. Tell me about the stereo. Is it absolutely horrible? Does it have pandora connectivity, i'm guessing it has Sirius. I think the US specs are going...

Not sure exactly, mostly because I also replaced the TIM on the 4770k with Liquid UItra. I went from 4.3ghz @70c to 4.6ghz @55c between changing the tim and waterblock though. My chip is kind of bunk, temps are fine, but I need 1.4v or more to get stable at 4.7ghz.

Re: The What You've just Bought thread! For serious? I still can't get any information out of the dealers at all about the new R. I plan on being one of the first folks to plop down 35k+ for a VW when it becomes available here. DETAILS!
