Archer3545

I edited the original post to make it easier to read. I also added the differnce in dB level between my fans running manually set to 100% and when they are set to a default fan curve how they get much louder than 100% while in games. I also added a picture that shows my current msi afterburner settings that I have been using.

Sorry I am on my phone when I get home I will touch it up a lot better.

Specs: I7 7700K overclocked to 5ghz Gigabyte 3 fan RTX 2080 (Not Super) 16 Gb 3200Mhz RAM EVGA 650W Gold modular PSU Asus prime z290 MOBO My monitor is an LG 2560x1080 ultra wide 166hz Gsync display Attached files: #1: My best Heaven benmark as of recently after feeling like I have some problem #2: My current MSI afterburning settings Context: I build this system almost exactly 5 years ago except I had a 1060 6gb and a different monitor at the time. 4 years ago is when I got my monitor and also upgraded to a liquid AIO CPU cooler and have been running at 5Ghz since. 2 years ago I upgraded to an RTX 2080. A about a year ago I upgraded all of my fans to nice noctua fans and filled all of the fan slots. It ran absolutely great overclocked it good and got it stay stable keep in mind at the time I played games a lot like pretty much 14 hours a day. But recently I get on maybe 3 hours a day if I'm lucky. TLDR: My friend has a ryzen 5 5600x and a GTX 1060 3Gb with 16 gb of ram. Not overclocked. He runs at 1920x1080 and I run at 2560x1080 but I should still be getting better frames and in the past have normally had substancially better frames. I noticed while recently playing Hell let loose that my frames were bad, I was constantly dropping below 60 frames down to 40 and not really staying above 60 unless I was completely alone miles from any action. Mean while my friend was getting the same if not better frames whilst in the middle of all the action and I tried dropping all of my graphical settings in the game to as low as it would let me aside from antialiesing and leaving my resolution at native 2560x1080 I tested my gpu with the heaven benchmark but without having saved prior benchmark results I don't have a good basis to go off of. I also checked userbenchmark fully aware of how terrible of a basis that can be to go off of, but I know testing my gpu in the past it was always in the 90+ percentile and now is in the bottom 50+ percentile. Problem: I might just be crazy but I feel like my card doesn't run as well as it did in the past. So I hadn't really changed much since I built the computer but this month I got an even better liquid cooler because I started to notice that my PC fans would ramp up like insanely loud I normally have headphones on and my game really loud so it wasnt ever a problem but I started to notice just how obnoxiously it is when playing PGA Tour 2K21 recently and my wife was sleeping in the same room. I thought it was my CPU cooler because an i7 7700k at 5ghz runs very hot and i had a 360mm radiator but it was the best brand not to mention I noticed one of my fans were broken on the radiator so needless to say it was kind of cheap and it was like 4 years old so I upgraded to a Corsair 280mm and I had used two of my 140mm noctua fans to have a push pull configuration on it. Got it overclocked and the temps were good for that CPU nothing crazy, didn't notice much of a difference. And the exact same noise was present just this loud obnoxious jet engine. I then realized it was my graphics card making all of that noise and just to better explain I have set the GPU fans all of them manually set to run at 100% and it is 1/10 as loud as the noise it makes when running games and it makes this loud noise after running a game for like 5 minutes and is non stop. I used a decible meter to figure out the difference between my fans running manually set to 100% and this loud jet engine noise it will make. So at 100% fan speed noise is between 47-52dB average around 48dB when a game is running and on a default fan curve this jet engine is between 57-59dB average around 48dB. I did some research and found some stuff that says basically if I set the power target down to 65 in the gigabyte overclocking engine that it will solve this problem. So I uninstalled MSI afterburner because I was using it before to overclock installed this gigabyte and setting the power target to 65 and it worked like a dream. Now I attempted to set my overclock back to how I had it before so I did some heaven benchmarks like I did in the past and did as best as I could without causing instability and I just felt that it wasn't running like it was supposed to I did some User benchmark test with my system and I was getting GPU performance in the bottom 50+ percentile I know that is a terrible basis to go off of but I have tested userbenchmark in the past on this system and I was always in the top 90 percentile with an overclock. So now my wife sleeping the room with my PC was a one time thing and I can deal with the loud noise I decided to uninstall the gigabyte overclock utility and go back to MSI afterburner and set it back to my old over clock did some tests I decided that I can deal with the obnoxious jet engine noises and on usermark I was still getting around bottom 50+ percentile on my GPU even after disabling Gsync and having no background stuff running. In heaven the best score I was able to get is in the photo attached below. Some other things that lead me to believe I am having performance problems is the fact that my friend with a gtx 1060 3gb and a Ryzen 5 5600x no overclocking what so ever is getting better frames in some games or about the same, when I know for a fact I usually get a much better frame rate. Yes I am running at 2560x1080 and he is running at 1920x1080 that has always been the case for years and I have had no problems getting at least 100 more fps than him in pretty much every game. A recent example is hell let loose I keep consistently getting below 60 fps on various maps with the setting completely dropped nearly as low as they'll go. Without making it a blurry mess and keeping it at native resolution but all of graphics settings dropped. Then another recent example is Minecraft with a really nice shaders pack I am struggling to stay above 60fps and will drop all the time to 30 and 40 and that after I set all of the optifine settings to be the best for performance but I have played with nice shaders in the past and my friend is using the exact same shaders as me but getting better or the same frame rate, ik Minecraft java has it's limitations and what not but I should be getting consistently better frames across the bored or am I just crazy?

I completely agree, I actually plan on doing exactly what you said and first trying cheaper components and everything before I risk damaging anything expensive.

Yeah the budget was kind of just spit balled, if you want to go way over that's fine I really don't have a budget I just don't know if I can justify spending a fortune out of pocket

The lowest GPU I will go is maybe a 3080ti I understand in practicality for gaming the 3080ti and 3090 aren't much different. Also I may go with a 3080 just depending on the shortage and everything.

Lol yeah I am not a big fan of rgb either but you are right people associate the lighting directly with performance.

Also if anyone has an idea of the tools I should buy to bend or cut anything I might need, because I don't know what all I need on that aspect.

Thanks for the input and I want anyone to feel free to change anything up, If you think 3080ti or a 3950 will be a better fit just let me know.

You are all awesome, thanks for the support and feed back I will consider any build that is sent my way. If anyone else still has a problem with my goal that is fine I have voiced my opinion and if you still think I am dumb, that is fine. I completely understand the point that it is overkill and obnoxious. If I am not here to respond to you directly do not think that I am not considering your ideas or anything, this will an on going project, I am still at stage one and I just want to make sure I get everything right on the water cooled side as I don't want to mess anything up.

It doesn't have to be practical or make sense to you, the point of it is I want people to walk in and see it and be like holy shit I have never seen a computer like that before, I need that. People who have money don't care. They want what is different and cool and they want the best of the best and that's what I want to do. I'm not building a number of these systems, I am building one and if it goes well I'll build another one in a few more months. I had this guy who had me build him a computer in this thermaltake case that is meant for two separate computers in the same case, he only has one computer in it. The reason he picked this $600 case is because he saw it could fit a lot of HDD's this guy has 7 14Tb and 3 10Tb HDD's the 14Tb drives were like $800 a piece and he has 4 SSD's for a total of around 136Tb of storage. This was not for a business or anything this was for one guy to store movies. He had a shitload of movies and tv shows.

Budget (including currency): $4,000 Flexible Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: This computer will be listed for sale as a gaming PC. 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): I work at a computer repair store. I was given the ok from my boss to price out a badass build and that means I get to try things that I have always wanted to do but never had the money. What I want is a fully custom water cooled pc. The CPU will be a Ryzen 9 5900x, 64GB Ram, and the GPU will be an RTX 3090, but we aren't paying inflated prices, meaning price it as it's msrp because we wont buy it until prices go down, although we may still build the system and tell the customer that they have to source the GPU on their own. Regardless that's more for us to decide later on. As mentioned before I have never done custom water cooling, I have done my research but learning is always done best hands on, at least for me. I want a lager case, Nothing that is open on the sides I would prefer a more traditional Full/Mid tower. If you want to include something different though that is fine, I am open to ideas. I want the CPU and GPU both water cooled. I would like to use distilled water for the system. The motherboard, PSU, and other accessories are up to you, make it look good. For the water cooling, I want one or two 360mm rads (if that seems like too much or not enough just show me how you would do it and then just kind of explain why). I want either a pump/res combo or separate I am not a fan of the pump/water-block combos. I want hardline tubing. Now that's everything for the computer. (If I missed anything let me know). I also need the tools to bend, cut, whatever you think I will need. Do not count tools or parts that I will keep at the shop for our use as part of the budget. Thanks, and I can't wait to see what you all come up with.

I have a Note 9 I love this phone. I've had for two years and I want a flagship device. I'm open to any new phone. The main thing I'm looking for is a headphone jack. I would like a fingerprint sensor. I never use the stylist and the camera isn't that important to me either. I I just want something new and has a headphone jack.

No preference on weight just comfortable enough to use on lap and the battery should last longer than 4hrs

Yeah I mean I would be more than happy to play a game like the Witcher 3 while out and about, but has anyone tried something like this? Will the hp be too hard to use in a car, I have a place for it to set? I think the hp may be better even though it's cumbersome I think I can handle it, my only gripe is the look I don't want something that looks so aggressive. The Dell is more subtle, but it doesn't have gsync.
