Eliptic

I have 2 curved monitors. I have them directly in front of me like this. No cpmplaints

Yes you can

I would get the 2080 and wait for RTX to develop better. Also your future proofing yourself.

Which code are you getting exactly?

kinda open ended request..
many review sites have graphs on thermal performance for AIOs.
anything a bit specific to narrow your request?

Trying swapping slots and/or running with only one stick. My system wouldn't post when I was in the same situation as you and it only worked after screwing with the RAM.

With 10GB of ram, no.

Some modern graphics cards have a feature where the fans only turn on when the cards temps go above a certain point.
 
BTW is it functioning correctly?

EVGA 1080 FTW2
ROG STRIX 1080 O11G
 

Get the ASUS ROG Strix. Should fill all your wants.

Unplug them all and plug them in 1 by 1

Just make yourself an attachment for the hair dryer. Something with a small opening that will force the cold air to push trough even faster. Like a cone for example. Do this in outside otherwise wear a mask if you will do this inside. 

Trust me, can't get rid of dust allergies due to that shit. Whatever you do wear a mask man. 

True. I would wait for the benchmarks to be released before purchasing any of the RTX series cards. DO NOT PRE ORDER ONE! just to be sure that the performance is worth the price

We don't know how the new GPUs will perform, so we really can't answer this question. Unless someone here has a crystal ball that works or is from the future.

I'm wondering why you picked a 5400 rpm drive?

You could have reinstall windows and setup everything with 5 hours.

Google the RAM compatibility list for whichever motherboard you're planning to use.

If you are concerned about GD I would definitely look for IPS. I do GD work and without an IPS display I would be a decently lost

Introduction
 
Recently I have seen many threads on here saying "I have a i7-6700k, 32gb DDR4 ram and 2 GTX 1080ti's but the gpu's are only using %58 but when I test them on their own they get %98-99 is it my PSU that is not providing enough power??" Well on that post out of 54 comments not a one said it could be a bottlenecking issue (Which it is) they all recommended taking the psu back and getting a bigger one... When instead of spending £250 on a new 1200w psu think about upgrading the cpu or just removing one of the 1080ti's, if you have the money to get 2 £700 cards then you have enough to buy a £300 i7-8700k to reduce the amount of bottlenecking (Not saying it will completely remove bottlenecking to do that you would need a higher end CPU like a Threadripper or i9-7940x but it will significantly reduce it to allow better performance)... It is sad to see that ammature PC builders throw all their money into GPU's thinking that is what gives better performance and blow all their budget on 2 things.
 
I have made a recent discovery on the internet (I am willing to say some of you may of heard of this website) It is a website built to check specs and see if there is any bottlenecking before you even buy the parts, I have used this one upwards of 10 of my builds for customers and never once got a complaint that the PC was bottlenecking all because of a simple website. I recommend to anyone new to building PC's from scratch to use this website to calculate and see if there will be any problems before buying - http://thebottlenecker.com/calculator
 
 What is bottlenecking
 
Bottleneck is a kind of hardware limitation in your computer. A bottleneck occurs when the capacity of an application or a computer system is severely limited by a single component. Components that often bottleneck are graphic card, processor and HDD. Bottlenecks affect microprocessor performance by slowing down the flow of information back and forth from the CPU and the memory. If all of the components of a system are not able to feed the same amount of data at the same speed, a delay is created.
 
How to find a bottleneck
 
UserBenchmark ( Home - UserBenchmark ) is a website devoted to comparing various models of hardware to see how they perform in the user's computer.  In addition to that, if you allow their benchmarking tool to run on your computer, it will spit out areas where you can upgrade components in effort to increase performance.  But wait it gets better.  Rather than simply saying "Hey you have a 7200RPM HDD, upgrade to an SDD", it give you ideas of upgrade parts and how they would perform based on the benchmarks from other users.
Now you can argue that the results can be skewed by users who are over-clocking, but to that I'll say, keep in mind over-clocking doesn't give huge performance boosts.  On average it's less than 5%.  On top of that it's easy to look at a graph and say "OK the top 30 benchmarks are likely from over-clockers, just as the lower 30 likely have faulty or problematic hardware. 
But for an idea of what you should upgrade/replace, check out UserBenchmark and run their benchmark tool and let it give you an idea of where you are likely to encounter bottlenecks and so on. 
 
Signs of bottlenecking
 
General observations I have made:
If you are hitting your resolution, frame rate, graphic settings goals then do not worry! Quit reading this post and go play! You want your GPU to be working at 99% utilization. This means you are getting what you paid for. This means the bottleneck is your GPU (good thing!!!) During gaming: If your CPU utilization is at 99-100% and your GPU utilization is "low" (50% - 80%) then your CPU is bottle necking your system. If neither CPU or GPU utilization is very high, that means the game you're running is not demanding. Either turn up the graphic settings or find a new game to test with. A high (120Hz, 144Hz) frame rate on CPU intensive games will generally require a "modern" i7 or an overclocked i5 perhaps (example: BF1) A high resolution (1440p, 4K) will more easily place the bottleneck on your GPU. 16 is the new 8 GB of RAM. 8 GB doesn't seem to be cutting it in high end AAA games anymore. For example when playing BF1 with only Steam and Discord (desktop version) open I see RAM usage of just over 8 GB (I have 16 available on my system). If this is the case then you may be bottle necking at your RAM in these titles. If you have the budget I highly recommend going with 16 GB. If you have a 144Hz monitor and are experiencing a CPU bottleneck, limiting your frame rate to a lower value will help make it smoother with less dramatic frame drops. This can be done with MSI Afterburner/Riva Tuner Statistics (link below)  
Thank you if you took the time to read this, I just wanted to put all the information into one place instead of running in circles around google trying to find answers... This Is just a basic rundown of what bottlenecking is and what to look out for if you think your system is bottlenecked

**UPDATE** I have been working with the guys over at 'TheBottlenecker' and now it is a lot better and has individual generations of CPU's and GPU's... It now includes the new flagship RTX 2000 series cards and the new i9 processors
 
**Please note that it only contains one of the Xeon E7 range CPU's due to it being one of the most common Xeons to be used in consumer grade builds - They will most likely add the 28 core beast of a CPU the Xeon Platinum 8176 for those crazy people who want to build a pc with one or two of them in It *cough* Linus *cough* how's that going by the way been a month since we had an update - I digress but the Calculator is always getting updated and if you want to request any features such as a GHz selection for CPU's or GPU's I'm sure if you gave them enough requests they will look into it**
 

Its basically the same just get whichever is cheaper

You can probably get something better than that by going to an electronics dump.

vRAM  = virtual RAM. Virtual resources are always designated by a lower case v (vRAM, vCPU, vSAN etc.)  
 
1050Ti is only available in a 4GB variety. The 1060 is available in 3GB and 6GB varieties of which the 6GB is the faster version overall.

He is probably talking about the 4GB 1050Ti and the 3GB 1060.
 
VRAM = Video Random Access Memory
It's an old term, but we still use it.

So....? Its whole network which is issue, not just Steam. Reset router, reinstall LAN drivers and call to your ISP.
