Anything is better than 60/75. 
Everything being and feeling smoother is well worth it. 
But some people claim they can’t notice the difference. So if you aren’t that attuned, it may not be worth it.

I’d prolly try a regular cable in which it’s designed for. My monitor can do 240 on the right hdmi port or display port but I don’t use adapters. 

I’d just build a system that wouldn’t leak. Much easier.

Is that 230usd? Thats quite alot for one given the time. Plenty 1080's to be had for 250 or 1070's for 200. Both of with will be better to edit with at least in my case editing with 2 of each but use case may prove to be different.

Its a tiny box. Doesnt really matter overall. Just comes down to priorities. Like if you did it the right way but having it on the top as exhaust and use a blower card. Both get fresh air and wont compromise each other. Or use an open air cooler if thats your thing. Thus putting the gpu above the cpu as you should. Gpu lowers its clocks way before a cpu ever will. 

Looks normal for aio stuff. I dont care for stress tests temps. Only real world matters to me.

Should prolly watch the actual gpu tab to see specific gpu usage. Not sure why any of this would be a concern what so ever. 
Aslong as it’s 99% under 3d while gaming on anything that isn’t optimized like crap. 

I tend to use amazon or eBay. 
Should be fine if it fits requirements for thickness. 

I just let mine boost as they run cool enough to hit max boost. I don’t oc my cards as there isn’t a gain worth the heat that would I turn lower the clock. 
 
Not worth 2-3 frames in my case. 
Mine stop boosting around the 39-42c range so going lower isn’t gaining me much. And the hotter it gets the more steps I lose. 
 
All but my 1080ti boost to 2000 and they can all oc to 2100+ range. 

Do which ever makes you happy. 

Sounds normal. You can use nvidia inspector and force multi display power saver. But if the card gets limited to much it can become unstable cause display issues. 
 
Best to let it do what it needs, no adverse effects, usage is still low as well as temps. 

You must have never bought or seen a noctua fan. They don’t come with metal bits for attaching to heat sinks. That’s the cpu cooler you are thinking of and you failed to mention. I have bought 15 noctua fans and they don’t come with that. Specificity is key here. 

If you do get stronger cards, that cpu will never keep up, doubt it does now.

Its a capture card, not an encoder. Doesn't take load off anything unless you are having something else do it. Also the encoder isn't putting load on the card. Use the gpu unless you have a much better cpu that can spare the power.

See them for for over a 100 on 6gb models. I wouldn’t go lower than that myself. $140 is a good start. Room for talk down.

Just plug the 6+2 pin from the psu into the card. If it’s just an 8 pin version. Do not use the adapter as it doesn’t look like you need it. Especially the way you’re using it. 

Any noctua nf-a14 variant.

That kinda sucks. Was hoping to swap mine for one. Figured their new fancy encoder would be worth it. Thanks for the info. 

Assuming you are doing hardline it’s not bad. 

Well you can change the task manager to per core. Then turn the report rate to slow and just check in mid game or something.  

Seems fine. Let it be.
