It's most likely for the shroud lights. The one 4-pin connector alone is for RGB on the logo and the 4-pin connector with the thicker cables (close to the 2-pin connector) is for the fans.

@ViciousRaptor I'd have gone for a founders edition cooler, mainly the one from the 980ti: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-980-ti.c2724 Same GPU (just cut down) and the same PCB. My Inno3D GTX 1070 actually has effectively the same solution you are attempting from the factory - reference PCB with a cooler designed by them attatched. As soon as the fan providing most of the air over the memory started failing I started to see artifacts and the card locked up. Misarranging the fans on the heatsink has the same effect, so I wouldn't recommend it.

Budget (including currency): wanting to keep cost low so no more than 1500 NZD as this doesn't include peripherals Country: New Zealand Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: building for friend that just wants to be able to play most single player games and some multiply games on decent fps and graphics Other details this is a PC build for a friend that currently has a old laptop that runs really bad with very low fps, so need to buy keyboard and monitor too, probably 1920x1080 upgrading because playing on his laptop has become painful and unfun I've got some knowledge on building a PC but have never done it before, here is the part list I made on PC part picker: https://nz.pcpartpicker.com/list/4kzpkJ All parts being bought new from a trusted store near me, all components have good reviews on their website, about $26 NZD more expensive than listed on PC part picker wanted to check that all the parts would work together and that im not doing anything wrong, thanks

You're on WiFi. There's always latency on WiFi. Ethernet. Plug in directly.

Thank you all for your replies! That seems like the most likely scenario. Many thanks! Thanks for your concern! I am planning on keeping the metal backplate with all of its thermal pads on the GPU, as well as placing M.2 low profile heatsinks and thermal pads on the ones on the front, underneath the GPU heatsink itself (already checked for clearance). As for the GPU itself, I am using this one on my Proxmox workstation via passthrough to run several gaming VMs for my friends and family at the same time, and as such my use case requires me to have access to Nvidia's vGPU drivers which are only available on enterprise-grade cards to the best of my knowledge.

Thermal probe is all you need. Not testing.

I also forgot to mention that I got artifacts on my screen a while back which has not happened again:

can we go into disc call me and u?

I use Arctic MX4 with a X pattern and ambients reach 38-40C now. The fans on the cooler are on full.

I would like to see a review of different touch screen monitors available in the market.

I'm not sure that heatsink is going to adequately cool the power stages on that card. Every spot on the passive heatsink that has a thermal pad on it needs additional cooling. Do you have the budget to replace the card with something else? I know Tesla M40s are cheap, but they're cheap for a reason. A 12 GB 3060 would run circles around it.

Yes, the highest one

ty. btw that 95c where throttle starts is the same "cpu" temp i was talking about?

Most likely that's for Logoand/or flair illumination

Rather check where the cable does originate from, may be a fan header or some useless gadget...

????????

Considering it's just two wires, probably goes to some led on the plastic making a logo glow, or something like that.
