For anyone that comes across this, the pump is an ek-Xres, I actually found a fix. 

I was watching the video below and decided to clean the impeller, and behold there was black build up inside.

it now runs perfectly quiet.
 

I took the pump apart cleaned it and installed in new loop with the same issue, what could it be?

Clear. Especially if the system has rgb. 

Nice build I like the res

Have you tried using those clear colored ones? Or even those luminecent colors? (Like highlighter color)

Luminescent sounds interesting, got any links / ones that you would recommend, I don’t want anything that may ‘gunk’ the loop 

Had a fault with my GPU today and whilst fixing it I drained the loop, didn’t want to reuse the same liquid but had a spare bottle of azure blue EK mix that I bought but didn’t use.

I don’t think I like it though had white before.

what other liquids do people recommend that might look good in this build? (Anything else interesting out there like these ‘cloudy’ ones from EK) 

SOLVED!!!!

I don't know exactly what bit was causing the issue.

However I drained the loop

Removed water block.

Reapplied new thermal pads.

Reapplied thermal paste.

Change the loop fluid.

Gains were huge:http://www.3dmark.com/spy/11196236

60% performance gain!!! (or 60% loss from something I did badly during the build)

Real world performance is generally what people actually care about, not a synthetic score that has very little meaning.

 

Anyway, my guess is a bad component on the GPU, as your memory isn't scaling properly.

It must have some meaning, I have had scores around 12,000+ before and smooth game play on the same set up.

Now a score around 8,000 and noticeable drops in FPS in games.

The only change is a new monitor ironically to take advantage of the higher FPS I was getting (resolutions were the same on old and new monitor) 

hopefully a 3080ti comes out later this year, don’t want to buy another 2080ti just yet.

Update: Wiped the SSd’s fresh install of windows going on now.

The only thing that jumped out at me was that the memory isn't downclocking at any point, which seems strange.   Gaming with a 9900k isn't optimal of course, especially with an older title like GTA V (too many threads hurts performance), but not to the amount your seeing.

 

My guess is that you're trying to play with the Nvidia recommended settings.  In my experience, those are terrible, especially if you want decent frame rates.  Try setting everything manually, especially the resolution.  I wouldn't be surprised if it set it to 8K or something ridiculous.

Regardless of GTA, the main post was about the 3D mark score being so low. (And I have turned off g sync for that)

Just to double check this point, check GPU-Z while running a game. See what the actual PCIe connection speed/lanes are. Note it is normal to throttle down while not under load, so it has to be doing something representative.

see attached, sorry I'm not sure what stat you needed 

Fist ever loop, lots of RGB in there too.

What games? Also, please play one of those games for 15-20 minutes with HWMonitor running in the background (don't just load the title screen, actually play them), then share a screenshot of the results. If you can't get them all in one screenshot, feel free to post multiple ones.

Played gta v for 20 mins using Nvidia optimal settings for graphics, got 20-30fps in the hills, 40-50 in the city

Run Heaven in a window at 1080p extreme with MSI afterburner running. If the card does not go over 1350mhz RMA it.

 

Also look at the graph that is called power% on afterburner and see if it reaches 100%.  It has been reported on the EVGA forums that some cards get stuck at a lower percentage. This can survive a reboot and switching the computer off then on gets it back to normal. My FTW3 Ultra has done this 3 time since I bought it.

 

See attached it does increase

Your graphic score is less than half of what my slow(EVGA XC) 2080 ti(16040)does so something is up. A water cooled card should do about 16250.

 

Run MSI Afterburner and see if the card is reaching its power limit.  At stock that would be 100%.   

Also make sure that it is not stuck at 1350mhz.  This is a none bug.

 

Your CPU score looks fine. My 5gz 6 cores do around 8000.

 

I know my old gtx1080 had a better score 

Power limit is set to 100%

it shows at 1350mhz, how would I know if its ‘stuck’ at this?

I'm not maybe the best person to answer specifically what you can and cant uninstall.

However I have always done a clean install of windows after a major hardware change.

its a pretty high end system with a 9900K and 16Gigs of RAM on a ITX Z390 board.

that should definitely not be bottlenecking the RTX 2080Ti.

 

as the post above mentioned, did you install the drivers?

yes drivers are installed, RAM is actually 32GB

Is your GPU overclock ? Try to run it stock and do another benchmark.

no stock its a pny card that would have had a slightly higher clock than reference 

Would a GPU riser cable cause a bottleneck to this extent?

MT/s or MHz ? If it's MHz it's good, if it's MT/s it's pretty low.

Mhz I just took that from the 3Dmark link http://www.3dmark.com/spy/11188396

PU : I9-9900k

CPU cooler : Custom water loop EK Block

GPU : RTX2080ti (pny vendor) Water cooled EK Block

Motherboard : ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-I GAMING

RAM : 32GB Corsair DDR4 @ 2,138 MHz

SSD : Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 1TB M.2

PSU : Corsair HX1200i

Temps do not exceed around 65 degrees under full load.

Drivers installed, display port cable to GPU

HI All,

I have a build that is causing sub 60 fps on most games and as low as 30fps in others.

I do have a predator x35 and I don't expect 200fps but I was expecting more from a 2080ti.

my 3d mark score also seems really low http://www.3dmark.com/spy/11188396

I have clean installed windows twice and took the whole system apart.

still no look.

what would you suggest to narrow down the bottleneck?
