Thank you for the list -- I appreciate the feedback. The reason I had gone with AMD is the heat generated by the 12th gen Intel requires a much higher CFM cooler which in turn makes a lot more noise. From a quick google search looks like the AK620 is around ~30dbm(@ 100%?) and the be quiet is at 23dbm@100%. Add a couple of more fans and it adds up. I did take a bunch of your suggestions and updated my list.

Budget (including currency): $2500 Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly workstation, some games see below Other details: Not using any existing parts for this. The existing system is a i7-9700k with a 2080. The system was a pre-build POS from iBuyPower that has been cr@p since I got it and it's underpowered and if I push it too hard it does a hard power reset. I think the PS is undersized - so plan is to get the new system move everything over and then rip this down and either rebuild it fresh and clean and maybe use it as a high powered Plex Server. I'm looking for recommendations for a Motherboard RAM Combo. Will be buying a 5900X. This isn't a gaming machine but will game on it ... non-fps games. (Ex: Diablo, Cities Skylines, Astroneer, Battletech, etc). Like to haves: No RGB [ or very low amount of lights or lights that I can turn off] USB-C [ almost a must ] At least two M.2 for storage Backup BIOS/UEFI Bluetooth (at least 4, 5 would be a plus) 3-4 SATA connectors Could handle a 3080 (or a 3080 Ti) Wifi is not needed, it'll be wired. The case is also big enough for a full ATX, so size is not important. Even with a glass door it won't be anywhere to be seen so esthetics are not important. The current spec -- not sold on anything here just picked whatever was available: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vYgJpH Thank you very much.

I'm having a major issue with my system. This was a pre-built from ibuypower (through Costco), my previous workstation died and I needed something that day as I work from home. The system has never been overclocked or under-volted. Specs: Intel i7-9700k @ 3.6GHz ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 4-IB (custom ibuypower BIOS - latest from what I can tell) Apacer 32GB Memory DDR4-2666 (1333 Mhz) NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 8GB (powered) Came with a WD Green 512GB SSD ( died, warranty upgraded to Blue 1GB ) Added another WD Blue 1GB SSD Added external USB3 (external power) - 6TB WD Blue Added two external USB2 WD 10GB easystore ... for back up only [ I don't have the power rating of the power supply ] Everything is on a APCC 1500 UPS It's a very odd situation, in some games there is no issue in some games it happens 100% of the time and the graphic settings don't seem to make a difference. The length of the session does not seem to matter either. Sometimes it's within 10 minutes of game start, sometimes an hour later. Diablo 3 - I don't recall it ever happening World of Warships (Settings don't matter) - every once in a while Astroneer (low poly game, max graphics) - almost 100% of the time. Cities Skylines - almost 100% of the time (settings don't matter, size of city doesn't matter) I have tried using bleed edge display drivers, studio drivers, drivers from months ago (a specific one a GeForce rep on a forum recommended for maximum stability). I'm at a loss on where to even begin diagnosing this. I don't have any parts to swap them to narrow down the issue.
