Thanks Agall!
Really helpful info. 
Ill try to set the initial pcie to x8 and see if that sorts it after work today :).  

4x 3.0 or 4x 4.0 should be sufficient for a 2070S.

Motherboard manuals are OP, maybe try setting your other 2070S' to 8x and see if that resolves it. Shouldn't need more than 8x 4.0 for anything other than like a 4090.
 

 

There is no shortage at all, not sure where you are looking or where you live though:

I have a bunch of bitspower ones with no issues.

have you checked xs-pc. i think they have some that may work

I just the case on what ever side I need to. Gotta plan that into the build. If it isn’t perfect or simple, you won’t get everything out. Assuming that’s the goal. Takes some serious planning depending on the complexity.  

You can turn a case if you pick it up. 

Depends on your luck, so far I've been pretty lucky

I have 220v mains voltage, that's what I meant.

Wait for the 3090's first. we don't know their power draw yet.
 
But Id guess a 1600W psu will be plenty for those parts, and even with a mild oc. I wouldn't do a crazy oc, esp for a work machine
 
Depends on your mains voltage. Im assuming you have 120v outlets. In that case, make sure your wiring and breakers are made for 15a(common), 20a(found on some circuits). Then check what else is on that circuit. Then you want to use about 80% of that max, don't use 1800w on a 15a circuit continously.

no you're not too far off
but like, zen2 works best when undervolted if you ask me
 
i undervolted my 3900x, temps dropped 15c, power consumption dropped 25-30%, i could keep my cores at 4GHZ, which is the stock all core clock when running full load, so i lost no multithreaded perf, but you do lose single core boost
 
as for GPU, same thing, i dropped my 2070 to 70%, clock and mem speed did not change, nor is it unstable. (though your mileage may vary but you get my point)

-stares at it-
full system load, 435W, so i assume the CPU takes around 380W...? that's really high
the 3900x number in the chart checks out from my experience.

If your not gonna oc I wouldn't bother, the extra temps won't affect anything much, and those parts should be able to be cooled on air cooling fine stock with good airflow.
 
Also water cooling is pretty pricy, and require much more matience and is more likely to fail.
 
Also OCing doesn't really get you that much, esp with newer parts. The days of getting 50% ocs are over, and a 5-10% oc is much more realistic, and probalby not worth it.

You could have another line added to the house, you can easily afford it with the money you're spending on that PC.
 
Everything has balance.  It's like whining about the insurance and gas for a Ferrari.
