    I think this has to do with the resolution your CS:GO is at, see if it is lower than your screen resolution I remember something similar happening a while ago on my laptop and that what what it was related to.

    By populated i mean the slot has a card in it, so only once, as for the purchase take my feedback with a grain of salt as i have not really done any heavy use with mine. I have a 960 EVO as a startup disk and the system boots in just a few seconds. I have 1 game installed on it that had huge load times, and it starts so much faster. However, that is really all the use i have for it, that's all i can say from my point of view unfortunately.

    The x8 slot will work at x4, but if its populated the x16 slot will only work at x8. This is not a big deal as the 1080 as far as i can see does not use all the bandwidth available with the x8 http://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/2488-pci-e-3-x8-vs-x16-performance-impact-on-gpus

    That depends on a few things, SSDs need to be powered on every now and then to keep data, but as you are planning a 5 month backup cycle it would not be a problem, HDs don't suffer from this. Second is price, HDs are cheaper in terms of storage space per dollar, at the moment at least, and would last a lot longer if it was left unpowered for a long period of time. Third, you can get HDs of up to 10 gb, SSDs so far as i can see right now, are at 2tb for A$2000+ and fourth, as stated above, recovery is much easier on a HDD than an SSD Speed can also be a factor, HDs are slower than SSDs

    Im using a 7700k without watercooling and get nowhere near those temps, seems like it may be the loop.

    If you use the built in M.2 slot: From what i have found, the PCIe x16 will still work at x16, but all the x1 slots (the short ones) will not work. I do have an old z97 i did install an M.2 on and it worked the same, but as it was a different motherboard i cannot be sure about yours. https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?54470-Maximus-VII-hero-and-M-2-SSD-usage-only-one-PCIE-slot-active If you use the adapter card: It seems i read your question wrong. If you use an adapter card in the x8 slot, the x16 would function at x8.
