I wanted a blinging computer

I'm more into peace and quiet. And I can still get the bling with minimum fans

Not criticizing though as everyone has their own thing

It's pretty quiet with the right settings.

With that many fans, I'm sure you have to keep them toned down

I'm a "fan" of Corsair's ML (Magnetic Levitation) fans cause the they tend to push a lot of air while staying quiet. Don't get it twisted though, they can get loud when maxed so you have to find that balance.

I also prefer 140's over 120's - more air less RPM = less noise (in theory)

I've put mine on 40%. I'm sure they ramp up under load.

You can put them on a fan curve that sticks to a set setting or have them ramp up when they really do need to ramp up.

Gigabyte boards use a "smart fan" system where each fan header can be separately controlled and assigned to different areas for temp control. Currently I don't have any of my 3 case fans assigned to the CPU as this insures they don't constantly ramp up and down as the temp changes. Here's a YouTube video on it.

And yeah, I pretty much keep mine at about 40% as well

Hi,
Think places will start dumping the 20 series sooner or later stock is up.

Yeah I have one rgb fan on builds mainly just so I can see the water level in my reservoir

Watching tons of videos on performance 1080ti is really something the fact it is not that far behind a super 2080 and a 2080ti makes dropping that kind of money unpractical especially if i'm not struggling in Games

Welp don't need to make a personal Thread about what i am going to say.......

Nvidia is truly insane for bringing out a supposedly High Tier card with only 8GB of VRAM for games

It was troubling to see i started up Resident Evil 3 Nemesis and i had a Vram error ha the games settings i had it on from the 1080Ti was too much for this GPU

I didn't want to purchase a 2080ti knowing that the 3080 is around the corner well now this is a big let down especially with the Ram being too little for my experience

I will be taking it back tomorrow for a full refund makes no sense my 1080ti just proved the RTX series is junk 2080 Super that is unless i get a 2080Ti

I play on a 3440x1440 Ultrawide lol it can't cut full maxed out settings what a shame !

The Fact i been playing that game no problem with this card and the other card gave a error was enough for me to get my money back

A new freaking GPU series shouldn't even be Borked like that especially the second top card
