MG-

Thanks!

Well, in most of the test on open benches they set the audibility threshold as 40db. I don't think that comparing percentages is correct. One cards 50% might be much louder than other cards 60% fan speed. I'm just wondering if you can even run 2080ti on air very quietly close to 2ghz If not I'll just buy cheapest 2 slot card and slap g12 + 120 mm on it.

Also everyone with 2080ti could share their results. Set the fan speed to the fixed speed then look at the clockspeed and oc untill it's too hot. Can you explain to me what the problem is?

Well they do not contradict at all if the cooler can cool 1000w chip and your gpu outputs 200w stock and 300w oc then the question is about the fan speed. The question is very simple Can you run some 2080ti on air above 2ghz quietly What's contradicting here I'm not following ?

Hi, TLDR; Target clockspeeds/noise lvls/temps: i9 9900k @5ghz/under 40db/under 90C when stress testing ENTIRE system (gpu + cpu); around 70-80C in gaming. Probably will go for kraken x52/x62 seems to be enough. 2080ti @(around) 2050mhz/under 40db/under 80C when stress testing cpu + gpu; around 70-80C in gaming. No idea, is strix 2,75 slot 2080ti achieve this? If yes, is this hard to achieve (meaning how focused on airflow the case should be) What combination case/gpu do you recommend to achieve the above? ATX and (if possible) ITX (no custom loop in both)? Longer ver.: I'm starting to plan my second build. For me building pc's is rather a hobby now, my last build was h200i with 1080ti SC. I have some questions about OC, airflow and hardware in general. What I am looking for: Priorites: mild OC and silence. My last build with 8700k @ 4.8 and 1080ti @ 1720 was literally inaudible. I'm looking for the same expirience now but with better hardware (i9 and 2080ti) and no undervolting and right now I'm a bit confused. These are my questions: - Do I need to watercool (with hybrid kit) 2080ti to get high clockspeeds with little to no noise? - Can you run some 2080ti on air inside some case around 2050 mhz close to inaudible under 80C? I've read that the best 2080ti in terms of noise level is the strix one. Any strix users, do you hear your card when gaming also what clockspeed do you get? - According to Gamers Nexus going hybrid with 2080ti is pointelss in tearms of OC headroom but not for noise. This connects with my previous question, is it worth it to go hybrid with this GPU or is a good air cooler enough? (for silent operation with oc) Also some NCase M1 specific questions: - What GPU clockspeeds can I expect inside NCase m1 with the best 2080ti noise lvl taking priority? - What would you recommend: 2x 120mm inside NCase m1 (one for cpu one for gpu), 1x240mm + air cooled gpu (will an aftermarket air cooler work better than current 2.75 solutions?) My expirience with the last build: What I got from my last build is that unless I wanted a very loud system I had to undervold the gpu. Side panel on/off didn't make a difference at all. I tried it with 2 different 1080ti SC black. (probably cause was full size PSU) Always same result, to keep the card under 80C I run it at around 1720-1740 mhz with 45% fan speed and then I couldnt hear it. Id like to have the same noise levels now but with close to 100% performance from the HW I'm paying for. If you came this far then thank you for reading :). I watched way too much tech related content and now I'm not sure what to think anymore, Im looking for answers best based on personal expirience. Thank you in advance!!

Sorry for bothering you, just wanted to mention that its probably the mobo that was giving me issues. Im stuttering in bf5 as well and my stock 2600 clocks itself between 3750 and 3775 and fluctuates between these values all the time which afaik is lower than normal boost clock. Thank you for your time.

TLDR: got 2600 performance still meh but dips occur when CPU is being maxed out. Investigating further with more games. It seems that reinstalling windows helped with constant 40fps problem but game was still running sub optimally with fps graph going form 75fps to 24 in a matter second. I returned 1600x and got 2600. Seems to me that higher clock helps a bit. Out of the box I got dips to 30s. With oc to 4.1 It improved to 35-38. Game is definitely playable but certainly not pleasant form time to time. Aspeclay in cpu bound places. CPU usage at least looks very "reasonable" this time. Stutters and dips occur when all threads are being maxed out which leads me to believe that the problem lies somewhere else like ram or mobo or even the game itself. I'll download bf1 and check if there are any stutters. Right now I'm getting 50-75fps whereas on i7 pc I was almost never under 60

Alright, thanks for your help. Im reinstalling windows if this problem percist Im returning the cpu and testing with t5 2600. If it yelds similar results i think Ill go back to intel.

As stated before, even on lowest settings I'm can get it to constant 40fps with cpu at around 60%. I think It might be memory related. Any ideas how to verify it?

sorry for spamming you, but does this data say anything more to you, did I miss anything form your guide ?

Its ubi and it runs great on i7 8700k

SO: Windows 10 with latest updateCPU: R5 1600x STOCK with noctua U12sGPU: EVGA gtx 1080ti SC Blackmotherboard: Asus b350iRam: it's 16gb ddr4 3000mhz 2x8 CL16Hard drives Crucial mx300 PSU: corsair hx850i platinum certified. After my gpu died it was tested on another pc with a 1060 and a 1070 and no issues but a 2080 needs more watts so... Also tested it with some cheap psu tester and the 12v rail and other ones gave good values according to it but I don't have a good tester that I could try under load though.| I'm sorry " want to see what happens in realtime. Please follow this guide to provide detailed info." I don't see how this is a guide of anykind and what should be done in real time. Can you be more specific please?

Psu worked fine with i7. Maybe it has a little bit of coil whine or maybe its my gpu hard to tell.
