I wonder how much of a temperature difference their will be compared to the conventional variants.

 Evga ftw 1080 ti is not very good custom card;

I know multiple people with that card who have never had an issue with it, all of EVGAs products are generally solid they did have a slip up in the initial launch of the 10xx series but, can't think of another time they've messed up

So all the customs are the same;

I mean they have different pcb designs and coolers (hince the custom) So they have better power delivery than a stock Nvidia board but, silicon quality is the primary deciding factor in what a gpu will hit similar to a cpu and motherboard.

Yes Vsync caps the frame rate so when it's off, the gpu has to render more frames (thus more stress on the card)

So which is the best custom 1080 ti for overclocking and performance ;

I mean just about every custom 1080ti will hit around the same speeds overclocked as it's really down to silicon lottery the only deciding factor is cooling (so watercooled or a beefy cooler) Otherwise the kingpin cards are pre binned so they will overclock the best but, they're pricey and good luck finding any.

Try using different cables/ports on the monitor/pc first

"As it is, the Corsair LL140 RGB fans are, well, pretty bad radiator fans when it comes to actual performance. The short blades are the main culprit here, and they simply can’t push as much air as most other fans when up against a radiator of average airflow restriction." from thermal bench.

and if you search 'corsair LL fans on radiator' there are a lot of results of people discussing it. 

 

BTW I'm planning on getting the Core i9-9900k. will corsair LL fans on the H150i Pro be good enough for this? I wont be overclocking

It shouldn't thermal throttle or anything but, it's going bump up temps of whole system (since it's on the intake) and will run louder/hotter. I'd say run it till you can swap them with ML fans or something along those lines. 

Those hexagon blocks looks really sick! Don't think I've ever seen one in a build before, very cool looking!

shorten my loop down massively it isn't a must but it if the option is there.

I mean the issue is those kind of rads increase the overall size due to 240mm being already used for the radiator fins alone then using space for the ports on each side opposed to condensing to one side and the other empty. The only thing you could really do is either do a single 120mm rad or just use a normal 240. 

I mean is their a particular reason you need xflo opposed to a standard rad?

so I am going to get the Obsidian series 500d se corsair case, which comes with 3 120 LL fans. I want to put a radiator on the front behind the fans (the H150i Pro). I have read that Corsair LL fans are bad for radiators. does this mean " your cpu will overheat if you use these on a radiator" or just "these aren't the best"?

 

They're optimized more for airflow opposed to static pressure. Radiators tend to favor fans with higher static pressure as they need push the air through the fins of a rad. However, unless your cpu is overclocked you shouldn't notice to much of a temp jump though it will cause your pc to run hotter over using SP fans

This?

For sure buy the gpu used no point in buying a new gpu with used prices being so good

Their used to be a way to run Linux and andriod on one but, pretty sure Microsoft cracked down on the exploit to do so. Don't think anyone ever bothered to find another way to install a diff OS due to lack of interest and Microsoft really locking down those devices.

People modded Titan Xs to run at 4X SLI when they only officially supported 2. If you know what you are doing you can do whatever you want

I mean that's fair enough just crazy how well it scales

I dont know if you already thought of this but he did do 3 way crossfire

 

I know Vega isn't supposed to support above 2

https://www.3dmark.com/spy/3348638
So I know Vega can do mgpu of more than 2 with non gaming loads but, I don't get how this benchmark was possible. Did he just use a modified driver to achieve this or am I just missing something? Either way pretty crazy how high it wound up placing on the leaderboards all things considered.

AA Battery holder with power switch and a couple wires for the cheap way. Might need a resistor though.

I mean will I destroy anything if I try it without the resistor or should I just start with it?

So I recently put my Titan xp on water and have the original cooler on its fancy stand (collectors edition) I was wondering what I would need to make it so the lights on it light up even though its not connected to the card. I would like to keep it small enough to keep in the original box or maybe up to my psu. Would just look like a cool display pc above my pc and thank you for the help

If you plan on sticking with 1080p in the Us r9 furys are selling used for $200 USD The vram limits fine in 1080p and it performs close to a gtx 1070 (just throwing it out their)

They physically limited it on the PCB so there isn't a way to get more voltage unless one was to bypass it. 

 

 

-Moved to Graphics Card-

Ah lame was hoping you could trick it with another bios like with previous Pascal gpus well at least I can stop googling it  Thank you for the help

So I just got a titan Xp (got a good deal on it so don't hate) and it's on water so heat is not a problem with overclocking. Voltage on the other hand is severely lacking and I was wondering if anyone knew some ways to get past Nvidias locked voltage limit without shunt modding. I know with all previous pascal gpus you could just flash an asus bios on the card that gave you more voltage but can't find anything similar for Titan Xp

It looks like there's one on Ebay right now, though it's up to $500 + shipping, Likely going to go even higher than that.

Yeah I was looking at it idk I personally wanted mine in gunmetal grey so spending over 500 on a case in a nonpreffered color just doesn't seem worth it to me

So I'm really sad to see caselabs go they've always been my favorite case manufacturer and I had been patiently waiting for orders to come back up so I could get a mercury s8:( So after looking on the internet for alternatives and not being happy with the options I was wondering if caselabs could semi live on through protocase assuming someone managed to get the cad schematics possibly from them. (doubtful yes but a guy can hope)

Mostly depends on how much patience you have really
