Thanks for the reply. Firstly, my gpu temps are back to normal with the system in a bigger case (HAF XB). Problem with the temp was that in he air 240 the rad for the gpu had to sit in the second chamber that was crammed with cable. Air wasnt moving much and the cables where just soaking up the heat. My only issue with your design is having the case exhaust right next to the intake for the psu? I generally like air to flow in same diection. With psu intake surrounded on both sides with exhaust, i feel like that might be an issue. Thats why in my positive pressure choice, the fan right next to the psu is intake, to mix with air from the cpu cooler and cool it down some, while supplying the psu and gpu blower fan.

Hi guys, I tried to downsize my pc from ATX to mATX in the Corsair Air 240, and ended up taking it back to an ATX case because of high gpu temps (hybrid gpu and h100iv2). I have decided on another mATX case to try and just wondering your thoughts on best airflow design. I intend to get the CoolerMaster Q300L. It will be laying flat (horizontal) on what would be its right side panel. Here's a picture of the case and the choices I'm considering. The first is negative pressure and the second is positive. What do you guys think? Thanks.

The layout on the mobo is 16x, 1x, 16x, 1x. I'm just wondering how the riser on the first 1x would wrap around the second gpu to get to the bottom of the mobo. Thats why I'm asking if a multiplier would be easier without issues.

Would be any performance loss or issues with lag with using a pcie 1x multiplier like this one [https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B075KNH1GM/ref=mp_s_a_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1515507708&sr=8-17&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=pcie+1x+multiplier&dpPl=1&dpID=41VwC9TCv0L&ref=plSrch]? I'm working with an mATX board that i plan on having 2 graphics cards on, which would cover up the two remaining pcie 1x slots. I need those 2 slots for an external audio card and a pcie usb hub. It looks like it will be hard to get a riser cable from slot in between two 16x slots. So I'm wondering if i can multiple the bottom 1x slot.

Thanks for the reply. I will try to get the log file. My gpu usage is anywhere from 30 to 70% with thr framerate capped at 120. I have uninstalled with DDU and reinstalled. I even tried wiping with DDU and installing an older driver. I'm to the point that I'm going to just reinstall windows 10. I'm also using a usb powered monitor from doublesight, and i dont know if the drivers are messing things up. The stutter gets worse with this monitor connected. I have disconnected and uninstalled the driver with no difference.

Or could my problem be that i have different revisions? (A04, A07, A07)

Just realized I've never check gpu memory usage. Could i be experiencing a gpu memory bottleneck? Edit: Just checked and memory usage for little run was 36% max

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but i think i should still be within specs. So, 7680x4320@60hz. If i multiply that out, i would have 1,990,656,000 pixels per second. I'm running 7800x1440@120hz. That comes out to 1,347,840,000 pixels per second, which is well less than the max. Even running 7800x1440@144hz = 1,617,408,000 which is still below. I dont think I'm close to the max and I'm sure there are others running the same resolution as me with no issues. It's just gotta be something with my system (drivers, settings,....), or hardware (defective monitor(s)).

Here's the gpu i have. https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16814137126/specs I hadn't thought about the max resolution/refresh rate. I'm not yet finding the max in the specs on this page. Unfortunately the monitors are not letting me drop them down to three 1080P instead of three 1440P. I wouldn't have minded that as I'm more concerned about higher refresh rate than higher resolution. I'll keep looking. In the meantime, I'll try reinstalling drivers after DDU wipe when i get home from work tonight.

After toying with the idea for a while i upgraded my monitors (triples) to dell S2716DG's, for 144hz and GSYNC. I'm running a gtx 1080ti (2000 core 6000 mem) and a 8700K (4.8). Nvidia surround bezel corrected resolution of 7800x1440, and 120hz refresh rate (thats the highest option i have in surround). I primarily use my rig for iracing/streaming and I am having issues with stuttering when racing. I have updated all drivers (nvidia, monitors, BIOS,.....). I have enabled gsync in nvidia control panel, and ensured window display settings screen shows 120hz, as well as each monitor showing 2560x1440, 120hz in their menu. I have tried with nVidia control panel vsync off, on and fast. I havent tried ULMB because i bought gsync monitors, damn it! I have tried both max refresh rate and application controlled gsync options in nvidia control panel. Vsync is disabled in game and I've tried both 120hz cap and no cap. The stutter happens off and on and its almost as if its running at 60 or 30fps, but frame rate counter shows rates 119 to 120 constantly. The stuuter is worse if connect my fourth monitor (1920x1200, 60hz connected to 1080ti by hdmi) or my fifth monitor (usb powered 800x400 for dashboard application). Streaming doesn't seem to make it worse (or better ?). I'm using the DP cables that came with the monitors. I've been trying to figure this out over a week now, and i feel like I've done everything short of reinstalling windows. Anyone have any ideas? Really annoying getting this after spending so much for the monitors. Thanks for the replies.

Hi guys, I just upgraded my setup to three Dell S2716DG monitors for nvidia surround and gsync. The monitors run native 1440P. I setup surround and tried to reduce the resolution to triple 1080P (around 5760x1080) but it's not giving me the option to do that. Also these monitors run native 144hz, but I only have options up to 120hz. I have downloaded the drivers from the Dell website and I'm using latest nvidia drivers. Anyone else who has this monitor know how I can achieve this? Basically I want to run 5780x1080 at 144hz. I play mostly racing sims, so I prefer the faster fps than higher resolution, and I don't want to push my gpu unnecessarily. Thanks for the response

So, i went to microcenter today to try to get them to test the mobo. Since the 8700K is so hard to come by right now, not a bad idea to rule out the mobo first. I'm glad i did. The guy at microcenter did a mobo exchange without even testing it. I just installed it and the system POSTed and i got into the bios. It was a faulty mobo afterall. Just weird the mobo led was saying cpu fault. Thanks again for the replies.

Unfortunately i don't have another cpu to try. Had to wait a while to get this one. I have checked and rechecked to make sure everything is connected including 8pin cpu. I disconnected everything (gpu, usb, drives). I have checked cpu seating and made sure there are no bent pins. I've been at this for almost 5 hours. Just my luck that when i finally get my 8700K its a dud. I was hoping it was a problem with the mobo so i can return it to microcenter by me.

Hi everyone, I was finally able to get an i7 8700K while i was out of town last week. Got home yesterday and popped it into my new build (i assembled everything previously so i could just put the processor in once i was able to get one). The computer turns on, fans are running (including gpu), but no POST or picture on the monitor. Motherboard debug led shows cpu fault. I called newegg and setup return (i was told they couldnt do exchange because they dont have it in stock). Here's my question. Is it possible that the issue is with the motherboard? Here's why I'm asking. I removed the cooler (H100iV2) and cpu wasnt getting hot at all. Could it be mobo not supplying power to cpu? Specs : mobo - msi z370m pro ac Psu: HX1050 Ram: Dom Plats 3000MHz (2x16gb) Tim: NT-H1 Thanks for the replies.

Thanks for the replies. I'll just stick to netgear then. Is it really bad to have rhe modem and router in one package or did i hear wrong? Could i just get something like this and call it good? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ZUPOF7Y/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1507521899&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=netgear+d7000&dpPl=1&dpID=51hitFGg53L&ref=plSrch
