It is a hell of a build he put together for you at a very good price. No experience with an AORUS board, but I am very happy with the Taichi fwiw

1. Your GPU is too hot, you need better case cooling. My 2080 TI never even hits 70C after adding adequate case fans and exhaust setup. Add more cooling so your expensive components have a chance to live a long and happy life. 86 might fry your GPU sooner rather than later. Matter of fact your GPU might be throttling. 2. Since your GPU is so hot, what are your CPU temps? Is your CPU getting so hot that it's throttling too? That could be causing it. 3. Do you have monitoring software unknowingly bottlenecking your GPU? Precision X1 is set on my computer to restrict temperatures, but by default it was set to restrict bandwidth. If you are running monitoring software make sure it didn't somehow get set to prioritize limiting your GPU performance instead of temperatures. 4. WTF with your 768P TV? Maybe your components think they are too good for their home, to quote adam sandler, and don't want to play nice at such low resolution. Just saying 5. What kind of benchmark scores are you getting - timespy etc? 3D mark is only $5 on steam 6. Try different PCI slot like that other guy said

Agreed but other people on those forums seemed to backup their claims. I just thought it was odd it doesn't work on any games I tried and because of that might be compatibility related or a hardware problem. Anyway thanks everyone for your replies

the bf5 profile creator claimed 180% scaling with his profile and subnautica one people claimed were getting 70% load on gpu2 ?

Got one EVGA card (GPU1) and one Zotac (GPU2). But GPU2 only remains at 15-20% load in all games even with custom SLI profiles loaded (dragon quest xi, subnautica, bf5). Someone on reddit suggested to try Strange Brigade but I don't have that. The weird thing is that Firestrike Extreme seems to utilize both cards just fine - it scores 26000 or something like that. - FXAA enabled - 9900K - playing at 4K so cpu shouldn't be bottlenecked? - same behavior in single gpu mode Anyone have any ideas why I can't get games to use more than 20% of GPU2? Could it be the mismatched brands? But then why would firestrike work?

GTX 1060 6GB will show up now and then on ebay for closer to $100 delivered

Too late..picked up a used one yesterday. Didn't see your post in time. Oh well, was a fair price at least. And the TX850M it'll be replacing also seems to be single rail so meh. Maybe I'll luck out and it will turn out to be broken. Good to hear people with similar configs are pulling under 800W. Feel more comfortable now keeping TX as a backup

Will just disable it, no biggie

That thing looks like a beast. Alright, duly noted. Really appreciate the help.

Zotac (2.5 slot) to go in PCI slot 4 EVGA XC (2 slot) to go in PCI slot 2 Just hoping they don't mount the radiator on the bottom. That will be not good. Might see a cheap 2080ti for sale in that case.

At this point no..guess it's kinda silly to pinch pennies. How's this? https://www.amazon.com/d/Computer-Power-Supplies/CORSAIR-RM1000x-Certified-Modular-Supply/B015YEI7LK That would be a 1:1 replacement. And derp I just realized modular means it could be super simple. Edit: nevermind, made a mistake. The one on order is this: https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-TX850M-Modular-Supply-Certified/dp/B01N5WW9GQ Still maybe a lot easier than I was imagining.

Sorta. Don't know exactly how ugly we're talking. I don't even how good of a job cyberpower is gonna do with the cable management. ETA is still two weeks out. Shouldn't be too hard to replicate the cable management in the lianli cable by cable I suppose? This is pretty pathetic on my part having worked in the power supply industry for ten years but that's what happens when you're relegated to a desk all day every day and practically forbidden from stepping foot into the warehouse lol.... Guess I'll take a look first then decide. Cheers

The guy was interested in burberry and gucci handbags but seemed fine with cash so whatever. Wasn't about to question it. I'm a noob with computers too though, so maybe adding a second psu is safer than replacing the original. I know it's not rocket science but everything seems to break when I touch it.

$500 on craigslist.. Thank you guys. Looks like it's either add a 2nd PSU or upgrade original psu. I was really hoping to slap in the 2nd card, tack on nvlink and go but I guess a little more work is in order.

Straightforward question. Power usage for following system? 2080 TI (stock/no overclock) 2080 TI (stock/no overclock) 9900K (stock/no overclock) 32GB DDR4 3200Hz RGB Ram 960GB Corsair m2 NVME Z390 Asrock Taichi 6x RGB case fans 360MM Astek AIO in push/pull w/6 RGB fans Lian li pc011 (room for 2x PSU if necessary) Use case: 4K gaming only. Nothing else. Purpose: Prevent dipping below 60Hz/FPS I ordered a system with single 2080TI and Corsair RM850 PSU. Then found a too-good to passup deal on another 2080TI. Is this PSU gonna be able to push everything at stock settings? Legit Reviews website did an SLI test on 2080 TIs and their whole system purportedly only pulled 640W in SLI, albeit with an 8086K rather than 9900K and various other different components. I find that value extremely low, but if even remotely accurate this 850W PSU should suffice, no? Numerous other threads around the Internet have values all over the place for 2080TI SLI even here. Everything from 800W-1600W. I don't plan on overclocking as it doesnt seem to provide any benefit for 4K gaming. It was only in retrospect I realized 3200Hz ram was also not necessary for 4K gaming, but hindsight is 20/20 I guess and anyway it will help with regular browsing and whatever ancillary programs I find myself running. The point of the build was to both run games at 4K without ever dropping helow 60FPS, and to futureproof as much as possible. My last computer related purchase was an I5 2500K bought in 2011 and I hope to get similar lifetime out of this one. So all that irrelevant information being said, is the 850W gonna be enough,to push this computer in stock configuration?
