    If you're fine with being out a GPU for a while then go for it.
  2. Shd0w2
    Give some prices in comparison to the cost of Ryzen for you.
  3. Shd0w2
    depends if it is a good deal
  4. Shd0w2
    Grab the 75Hz, Curved is neat but not really lifechanging.

    450-500 USD is pretty low for what you want. Move it up to ~500-700 and it would be a lot easier to make a build for 1080p high-ultra gaming. Do you need a monitor and other peripherals like a keyboard and mouse?
  6. Shd0w2
    Older as in used? or Older as in it was released a longer time ago? If you mean released a longer time ago, grab a Platinum PSU because even if it was released a while ago, it still conforms to the Platinum efficiency spec.

    Looks fine, but if you want to put it in an XBOX 360 case, you may want to look into a smaller form factor PSU, like an SFX form factor.

    Using a high end graphics card on technology that doesn't push it to its limits (Not 1440p 144HZ or 4K 60hz) graphics cards tend to run at less than their best because they simply don't need to. I'm not sure why your GPU usage is around 99%, however. Try getting your hands on either a 4K monitor or 1440p 144hz and see if the story changes. (As in getting ~60fps in 4K 60hz or around 120-144 in 1440p)

    Your RAM has a lower CAS latency so it would be the one being downgraded. Lower = Better for latencies. It wouldn't be a huge deal though if you still wanted the RAM.
  10. Shd0w2
    Oops, I thought I had put latency because I the speeds are both 3000mhz but the CAS Latency is 15 vs 14 / the timings
  11. Shd0w2
    Probably would work, however, each SKU of RAM runs at different speeds and one would likely configure automatically to be the same speed as the other, meaning it would be slower.

    If you don't care about their rigging of Phone Benchmarks, then grab one if you want. Android is fine and most devices work well, if you think you like the One Plus 5 then go for it.
  13. Shd0w2
    Your settings for the benchmark may be different, you may accidentally have a taxing setting on for the benchmark.
  14. Shd0w2
    A. Did you use different thermal paste? B. Did you make sure the new cooler was fastened properly C. The other cooler could have been somewhat faulty / lower pump speeds.

    Try Downclocking the RX 460 to see if it persists. Also try plugging your HDMI / Displayport cable into your motherboard / integrated graphics to see if the issue persists.
  16. Shd0w2
    Grab a 1060 6GB if you're willing to spend ~30-50 more, or a 1060 3GB if not.
  17. Shd0w2
    1050TI? 1050? 960? Probably any of those are fine.
  18. Shd0w2
    Go for it if that's what your set on. Looks fine, just keep in mind that Hardline tubing is a bitch to do. Edit: Since you're looking for an i9 and a lot of goodies, maybe upgrade that 1080 to SLI 1080s since you already have a waterblock on it i'm assuming. If not, maybe upgrade to a 1080ti to match your i9 a bit better. Grabbing a 1080ti would cost more though and you would also need a new waterblock

    Try searching Disk Management as a program and Run it, if the disk shows up, you will need to allocate / partition it.
  20. Shd0w2
    A low end rad is like a mid-end air cooler so don't be surprised if its not what you expected.
  21. Shd0w2
    Both will be bottlenecked by your AMD Athlon, so you might want to upgrade that, but if not, grab a 1060.
  22. Shd0w2
    Yes, of course. I have a custom fan curve set up equivalent to the aggressive fan curve. If I had the fans off I'd probably hit 95C+ within a few seconds..
  23. Shd0w2
    Yeah that's my issue, and I believe I have good cooling so I'm sort of disappointed. I'm considering opening and RMA ticket due to this.
  24. Shd0w2
    Inside my case I believe I have sufficient cooling, anyway. I've got two SP 120 Fans on my CPU cooler, 1 SP 120 exhaust on the back, one 200mm exhaust on the top, and another 200mm intake on the front, so I don't really know why they are so high.

    Hi, I recently upgraded to a GTX 1080 and have been experiencing high temperatures compared to what I am seeing online, and wanted to get in some other people's input on it too. I've been getting between 78-85C playing some 4K games but I've been seeing people saying that they're getting low 70s while playing games, and I can't fathom how they're achieving that! I have base power target and temp target as well. Forgot to add, EVGA GTX 1080 FTW
