I just finished watercooling my 3080 FTW3 ULTRA and reconnected my PC to the rest of my setup. First boot, no problem, Temps are a dream at 24°C and not rising above 26° just doing normal desktop stuff. Then I thought I'd try and heat it up a bit. RDR2 benchmark it is, so I start it up and just as I open Precision X1 *rrrrrrrrrrr* PC freezes. Restarts itself after a minute maybe and - no VGA (red light on the mobo). Frick I'm not sure what I did next, but in the next half hour I did everything imaginable to get it up and running again. I think after pressing it into the PCI-E slot a bit harder (due to the GPU's IO shield it never actually clicked into the slot) I got a picture on my next post, but only for a few seconds until it froze again, this time with little green squares on screen. That usually means that the GPU is having connection issues but after actually removing the IO shield and putting it into the slot until it clicked, still no picture on screen and the VGA LED on the mobo is still on. If anyone has an idea that may be helpful, I'll gladly take your advice! Stay safe and game on!

Well, I got a 1440p monitor and games like RDR2 have my rig on its last legs.. other than that not really, but I have the money now and don't need it for anything else. If I wait too long, o moght just blow it on other stuff i dont need.

Budget (including currency): 2000-2500€ Country: Germany Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Only Gaming, high end AAA Games (RDR2...) Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): No peripheral needed, only the computer itself. First timer here, came here from reddit looking for some real expertise My gaming Rig turned 4 years 1 month old today, and I think its due for an upgrade (its an i7 6700k@4.6GHz, 32GB RAM, GTX990ti G1 Gaming). I've seen linus' video on the best gaming rig money can buy rn, thats not the issue, besides the SLI RTX2080ti's I know what to get. My real concern is whether to go ahead and get an i7 9700K + RTX2080ti combo now or wait out for Intel 10th gen/AMD next gen (Ryzen 3 new or 4 (?)) And Nvidias 3000 series. I know they're rumored to be released in 2020, but I've been out of the scene ever since I built my pc in 2016. Any help would be much appreciated!!!

Im currently using an 15$ sh*t projector from China so it would be nice to maybe have an bigger picture than 45cm.?
