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.

Nothing out of the ordinary imo, it can safely reach 1.42V or so But maybe you could try some undervolting (Curve optimizer, all cores -15 to -20, have to test what's stable), this will decrease voltage power consumption and temps

I am currently in the process of replacing an Nvidia Tesla M40's passive heatsink with a dual fan MSI 1080Ti one; the purpose of this mod is to keep the temperature of the GPU at a reasonable level without making my workstation the loudest appliance in the neighborhood. The heatsink came with these 3 connectors, two of which I'm assuming are mini-4 pin molex GPU fan ones, which I'm gonna extend to my fan hub via an adapter. My question is, what does this two-pin connector (circled in red) actually do? Do I need to have it plugged in for the fans to work properly? I also found out that the GPU, despite not having any fan connectors on the board, actually does have a two pin socket that fits that connector perfectly (circled in green), although it's positioned in such a way that the cable won't be able to reach it once installed. In case I do need it, can it be plugged in there via an extension of sorts or is that one a different thing? Thanks in advance for any help or replies!
