cpu bottleneck... if i got i7 6700k and oced to 4.3-4.5ghz, would I see improvement worth investing in ?

https://ibb.co/cW3DyV i get really low gpu usage and cpu sits at 70-80 % , fps average +- 100 playing bf 1 1080p ultra, 64 players cq maps i7 6700 non k, gtx 1080 gigabyte windforce, asus z170 pro gaming, kingston ram 16gb 2133mhz, evga g2 750w , dx11 i didnt expect 144fps constant, but definitely more than this

liquid metal gave me decent improvement on my gtx 980 g1 gaming, from 73-75°C at 53% fan speed to 66-67°C at 45-46% fan speed while gaming , so I would like to try it on my gtx 1080, but still no clue .. https://ibb.co/h2KtV0

I know I will not see same temp results as deliding cpu, but I like playing with my toys ( sounds creepy I know ), I ordered condactonaut and kryonaut and I want to test both things, I just want to be sure, that liquid metal will not get in touch with any aluminium

Hi, I have gtx 1080 windforce oc gpu and I would like to try using liquid metal, but I am not sure, if the heat sink area which touches gpu core is copper / nickel plated. I tried gigabyte support, but they just told me that disassembling might void warranty on my product, which was nowhere close what I asked the heat sink looks like this : I want to know, whether the white area around copper heatpipes is nickel layer or aluminium...

Can I expect some kind of a permanent damage when trying to increase its refresh rate to 75hz - 80hz at 1440p ? It can run at 75hz at lower resolution...

I cant rma the burned 980, i bought it in october 2014, its warranty period is over, I ll be using gtx 1080 as a main gpu ( after I am done RMAing it for coil whine ) and will keep 980 as backup ( If i dont blow it up completely ), 980 works perfectly even though burned, I ll try to ask gigabyte, if they provide me some info about those burned components

Hi, I am trying to RMA my gtx 1080, because it makes these noises when under load ( I recorded the sound and attached it to the post , m4a is sound format made by my phone ), otherwise the card is ok. ( it is recorded with open case and I put phone really close the card, in reality it was not this noisy, with case closed and underload with fans spinning, I couldnt hear it ). So after I finished testing overclocks and performance of my gtx 1080, I put back in my gtx 980 g1 gaming, started pc and run superposition, in 17th scene, before the benchmark ended, my pc restarted itself, after like 2 seconds after restart, I saw a spark with smoke came out of under the backplate of my 980, so I switched off power supply button instantly. I took the gpu apart and noticed that back side of pcb has burn marks and burned component on it, which has labels written next to it c5090 and c5091, the front side ( where the core is ) seems ok ( didnt check under thermal pads though ). I think these components are just fuses, which blew up in order to protect the card. Picture included, it is horrible quality, but u can see the burned part on it ). Also I think I know why this happends, I left the overclocks same after gtx 1080 and but it might have been too much voltage for the gtx 980, so it blew up. The 980 is still working, at least at Windows and in games, without problems, I havent tried running superposition yet. Anyone knows, what those 2 parts c5090 and c5091 I burned are ? buzz.m4a
