Yes. There should be no problem using that cable. 

use 2 cables

-> Moved to CPUs, Motherboards and Memory

NOBODY KNOWS...

Thank you JM21!

Idle around 30-40 Degrees C is very good, your max temp values are from a gaming session? If so they are reasonable, although I would record a session to get an idea of what your average temps are when gaming, with a 360mm AIO I would hope that you are not getting warmer than around 75 degrees C. An average of 80+ seems high with a 360mm AIO, but not dangerous, but at around 90+ degrees you'll get into thermal throttling territory, and at 100 degrees I believe is when the thermal limit is triggered of Intel CPU's that shuts down the system (this is safety feature to keep it from causing self harm). So you are a ways from that.

yeah. I was typing my message when he posted so the page didn't refresh until I did.

it should work as the ports on the Powerlink can be slid as you have seen in the video. and its a Geforce card made by Nvidia just like the RTX GeForce cards are from EVGA so it should work.
 
this is the link to the Powerlink and you can see just about the pics it has a list that has compatibility on it which shows all the EVGA cards its compatible with. https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=600-PL-2816-LR

Like he pointed out the 8 pins are upside down (compared to the PowerLink) on the ASUS card, so it's not compatible at all. The PowerLink connectors cannot be flipped unless you wanna toast your GPU. 

Wait... Damn, no it's not going to work. The tabs where the cable latches to the plug need two be on the bottom of the plug, Not the top like in the picture. Thanks for your help!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm......
 
The 8 pins are inset a bit and the cooler also sticks out below them, might not work:


This is the best shot I have of mine on a pair of 780s so far, I could get better ones when I'm home tonight:

 
But they do stick out a bit on both the left and bottom sides of the 8 pin, they might not clear the PCB on the STRIX. I'll try and get a top down shot tonight to see how far they stick out from the card itself. 

Probably intentional, in my experience.
Stores usually set prices like this, if they are out of stock, don't want people to buy the product, but also don't want to pull the listing.
 
If it was a mistake, it would have been something like 2,499 USD. So instead of the normal 249 USD price, they added another 9 by mistake.
This price is too round, not to be intentional.
Or there are bots behind this store deciding pricing, but I doubt that.
Remarks like that don't fly here! Neither do those airplanes though  

Safer to fly on than a 737 MAX too. What a bargain!

well, if you look at it, its just a product listing by a 3rd party.. see the fine print under the out of stock...
 
 
Sold and Shipped by TELeasy, NOT newegg. Newegg operates like Amazon where 3rd party people can sell there stuff on there site. 

Clearly a mistake of some sort.

When your single fan videocard doesn't only sound like an airplane, but also costs as much as one.

it comes with a vrm water block for only the vrms.  nothing else

It has a built in waterblock for a VRM they should spend $10 more on so it doesnt suck as much
 
Not sure why they decided not to use the waterblock by using an AIO for the CPU, but hey they also deemed $10 worth of controller and powerstages too much for a $300+ board so maybe a custom loop is worth too much effort on a PC they give away for marketing reasons.

I have the h500m its a GREAT case and I use a 360 in it.  Temps on my high overclock 8700k never break 70c youll be happy with your purchase.  Noctua fans are great and the lifespan is great as well.  Only fans I can compare them to for cooling and acoustics are the be quiet silent wings.  Let us know how the build goes, Always a good feeling on that first boot-up.

Fan noise was a consideration that I was looking at. That is why I was thinking about the Asus since it uses Noctua fans.

Oh and if you do look at other 360's, if you set your eyes on the new cooler master ARGB 360 make sure to get other fans, the DB may be low but the pitch/tone of those fans are HORRENDOUS, I have replaced them in less than 2 weeks because it whined more than my mrs when I whip out the credit card before walking into our local micro center.

If you want air cooling I suggest a case that would accomodate a decent air cooler like the fractal meshify S2 or the h500 mesh variants from cooler master.  These accommodate decent tower coolers like the noctua NH-D15, if however you prefer smaller cases then the NH-U12A may also suit your needs.  But I would highly recommend not leaving voltage on auto unless the board is known to not crank up the voltage.
 
If you want water cooling and can ONLY decide between those 2 pumps, go with the one that has the best warranty, you want a warranty that will cover components should a leak occur.  Not saying it will but pressure outside of and inside the AIO can cause a leak plus even though the factory's they are made in are fantastic and stringent, They aren't infallible or they themselves would not have insurance to cover them.
 
I would also look at the pump life and maybe weigh that up when comparing the warranty between the 2 as when a pump dies out of warranty the aio is just a paperweight.  I had a corsair h series die on me inside of warranty and they still didn't honor it even though all i did was install it and leave it haha.  
 
But yeah don't go for the gimmicks, go for the one that has the best warranty, least gimmicks and has decent reviews to back it up that were written up by credible sources that do thorough testing that have minimal margins of error such as publications like gamer's nexus.  Too many times I see new places/people popping up posting results that look great on paper until you find out they did not have climate control which immediately throws out any results they got when comparing thermal products.
 
Also don't take into account the fan lifespan, they usually outlast the pump and if you get a dud of the 3 (it's a 360 so I am assuming both come with 3) just buy a new one and the other 2 with keep you going until the replacement arrives.  

whatever isn't asetek pumps.  Too many of the same pumps being....pumped...out *badoom-tish*.  In the end it's gimmicks and the real cooling performance is fin density combined with fan performance.  
 
I went with the cooler master rl360 rgb rad and ditched the fans for some be quiet silent wings 3 high speeds (non-pwm as the pwm have issues with some controllers in relation to their RPM's).  Have never been happier considering I have also used a custom loop with EK rads and push/pull vardar fans.
 
Only downside is I can't have my own replacement pumps should it fail (without tube cutting) or my own water temp gauge, but I am happy none the less.  But if youre looking at those AIO's you should be seriously considering a custom loop for the price or possibly looking at the successor to the MLC phoenix from EK when they disclose more info.

If you can afford the Code, the MSI Ace, Asrock Taichi and Gigabyte Aorus Master should be within budget easily. Not sure if MSI Godlike, Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme and Asrock Phantom X (unlike the Godlike and Xtreme, it's only a feature set upgrade over the Taichi) fits in the budget.

Power delivery for the CPU (VRM) on the Hero, Code and Formula is only 2/3 of that Gigabyte used on their Z390 Elite, and you can see how much cheaper that board is tho it also lost a lot of features like USB and networking. Since 9900k is very power hungry, this leads to a temperature problem on the supposedly high end (and they do charge you like a high end product) Maximus series (except the Formula because it has a waterblock you can use, but it's totally unnecessary if Asus spent 1/10 the cost of the waterblock on a bigger VRM). Gene and Extreme suffer less to a point where the number sounds better than it actually helps in performance, but they cost even more than the Hero, Code and Formula so that didn't make them sound any better.
 
tl;dr there are only 2 boards worth considering among Z390 Maximus XI boards, the Gene (because mATX, and 2 DIMM slot design helps with memory overclocking) and the Apex ( meant for extreme overclocking and overbuilt in every way). The others are all overpriced garbage people buy for the ROG branding.
