thats actually not bad

honestly, im just building it for him and from my experience he doesnt seem like the kind of person to go sli or even use a second pci slot, but if theres more benefits sure id like to hear them or be given a reason why itll be better for him

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/2rHDdD This is the current PC build idea we have, he already has a case and a HDD. any suggestions? budget is about £1000 (Pounds GBP)

I used Small Data sets for 10 mins and this was the result, not sure if its good or not, i know 90C isnt good at all but i feel like it is stable.

I always knew 90 celcius was bad, my friend put it a dumb way for me to remember but it hasnt BSOD'd YET...

small data set

thats the settings and a monitoring software i used...it seemed stable for the 20 mins i ran it

got any suggestions for what settings i should do and what i should look out for? Im currently got it to run a stress test for 30 mins, the voltage after 5 mins is min 1.295-1.290 and the max is 1.336-1.344. The temps after 5 mins are min 37 and max 76. Thats Celcius

28% seemed small? How do i check voltage and i was playing breakpoint at 4K Ultra settings and it never reached 85 never the less 80, it would bounce around for a few seconds but would always hover in the 65-75 temp ranges.

I just applied a small 28% OC which now makes the CPU turbo at 4.5GHz which seems to have fixed the 100% CPU usage

1) I don't feel like i have an ego about my PC, i understand it is no where near the best money can buy but compared to my old FX-8350 and SLI'd 960's, from my perspective this to me is so much more of an upgrade then what I use to have. 2) I have used this forum before, I have the utmost respect for people who come here and comment as they dont need to but choose to. 3) Its not that i did not like his answer, i do understand there is a bottleneck but please understand that this current setup, had nothing to do with me it was a going away present and a birthday present combined which i am infact very very humbled by from my family for doing such and to go to them and say this and that makes me feel sad. to refer to your last point, I am not very techsavey compared to and @5x5 I just know i would prefer to be gaming on this machine rather then my old one especiall in 2020 as from my perspective I can game at 4K at 60FPS and to me, this doesnt make me sad I may have also fixed it as I applied an overclock to my CPU using Asus's EZ OC BIOS thing and im no longer reaching 100% CPU usage in that game...

I also would like to apologise for replying in such a rude way before, I do hate people telling me it is a bottleneck and constantly talking about it and people just presume that someone can go out and buy such large things without knowing the reasoning behind the original purchase : ) i hope you accept my apology and continue to have a good evening or afternoon.

Truth - i5 and 2080super where a birthday present and going to uni present. Lie - I have enough money to buy a new CPU and mobo to make sure i have less of a bottleneck. So even if i wished to upgrade my CPU and Mobo i wouldnt be able too besides it only seems to happen in the three games stated in my original post.

tell me both so i can see which one i prefer

I have researched this bottleneck using a calculator my friend gave me, its on BottleneckCalculator.com, im not too sure how accurate this is but apparently your resolutions dictate how bottlenecked you are and I am never playing at 1080p always 4K so using this calculator am i too worry more about the bottleneck if its 20% and be lowered to 10% with a 25% CPU speed increase?
