Backstory: Okay, so I'm running a bit of an experiment in my primary PC and I have some questions for people who have used these parts in other systems. I have a ton of experience building, fixing, networking, and general troubleshooting of computers but this is a little beyond my usual scope of work. I had a 9900k and 3080 FTW3 system in an H500P Mesh a few months ago and decided to pull the trigger on going AMD since the numbers I was seeing from people was kind of crazy for the money and there was a 5800x available on Best Buy's site so I grabbed it for next day delivery and grabbed an MSI X570 Unify as well. Once this stuff arrived I noticed I still had plenty of power available from my UPS (The big limiting factor for me at the moment) so I drove the hour to my nearest Micro Center and picked up a 5950x and some better memory before driving back home. After all of this I thought I was done until I got a notification from eVGA that my queue entry from late last year for a 3090 (didn't know the exact model at first, I was in a panic and bought it as fast as I could) had popped so I ordered the card and it wasn't until afterwards that I realized the price seemed really high, even these days (plus eVGA doesn't scalp at the moment) so I looked again and realized that what I thought was just a Hybrid 3090 was the K|ngp|n 3090 so I was also paying for some extra connectors and an OLED screen lol. Now, to backtrack a bit I had also decided just prior to this that I wanted to put my case below my desk so I had purchased a Corsair 4000D to downsize my build around when I got the 5950x and the memory...the 5000D seemed too big and if I was going that big I might as well have gotten a huge case (the 7000D hadn't come out yet or I may have gone that route) or one that was very intriguing to me like the Silent Base 802 or the Meshify 2 XL Dark instead...now I already had a long PSU (eVGA 1000 T2), 2 x HDD's, 5 x SSD's (2 x 2.5" w/ 15mm Z-Height and 3 x M.2), a full 16-Lane SAS12 card, and a 280mm radiator in the form of an H115i Pro for my CPU that was in the front bringing air in along with 2 x Noctua NF-A14 iPPC-3000 PWM up top and a Corsair ML-120 in the back of the case as the output fans so this little case was pretty full and when I realized that I had a full-sized 3090 with a 360mm radiator attached on the way and I knew I'd need to get creative. My Solution: So I moved my H115i Pro to the top of my case, to do this I had to bail on using screws entirely and go with zip-ties (but using the original holes so it looks fine) instead...this allowed me to use the front for the 360mm rad. I removed both Noctua fans (although I may end up putting them on my H115i to replace the ML-140's depending on how things go) but kept the back ML-120 in place. I had to pull all the PSU cables out and reroute them and they're smashed currently to the point where I have absolutely zero room under the PSU shroud...while doing this I disconnected the HDD bay and moved it further towards the PSU since the 360mm rad wouldn't fit since it was too thicc with the HDD bay even in the spot furthest from the front...I drilled a new hole for the retention screws that held the HDD bay in place so it didn't push against the radiator. I was able to sort of manage the tubes for the AiO's using the existing mount points and the OLED screen on the GPU (tilting it back grabs the tubes) however things are a bit tangled inside but hopefully I'll figure out a better permanent cable management solution soon. I also had to bend a few parts of the case temporarily to get everything in...it was kind of a mess. The Results: So here are the final numbers and I was hoping someone here can tell me if this is a feasible long-term setup, whether any of the temps are too high, and maybe someone could relay any tips I may need to improve things...here's what I got though: CPU: Idle: 35c, Max (AVX2): 84c Motherboard Max: System: 53c, VR MOS: 47c, Chipset: 62c DRAM: Idle: 31c, Max: 42c Hottest SSD (The 980 Pro Under the GPU): Idle: 42c, Max: 65c Hottest HDD: Idle: 33c, Max: 42c GPU (My Biggest Concern): Core Idle: 29c, Core Max: 58c, GPU Hotspot Idle: 39c, GPU Hotspot Max: 70c, GPU Memory Junction Idle: 40c, GPU Memory Junction Max: 90c This seems pretty high right? Especially compared to the other temps, is there something I can do to reduce this temperature or is this setup hopeless? Is this even too high? Maybe the fan swap I'm considering would help? I could also swap the back fan if needed or maybe repasting something or getting better thermal pads...I dunno. Let me know what you guys think. Images of the setup as it is (remember, not done with cable management so don't make fun of me lol): https://imgur.com/a/617GJLs Edit: UPS load still stays under the max and gives me 5 minutes to shut down which I wasn't expecting lol...it's pretty close to the max wattage with the 3080 in the system although maybe this has to do with there not being the 2 industrial fans in the system anymore? Makes me nervous about adding them back...I added a screenshot to the bottom of that imgur link showing full Kombustor/CPU-Z Stress Test load making it hit 700 Watts which is still well under the 800 Watt max for that model of UPS.

Okay, so I really need some advice about what I should do here, I don't trust myself to make the right decision given the circumstances. Here are the facts currently: 1: Last year I was desperately looking for a 3090 to replace my 2080 Ti for my main PC but was having no luck using the traditional methods of shopping and I fortunately got in early when eVGA started their Auto-Notify Queue and got an RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra in October which I've been using since then in the system in my profile. Not the 3090 I wanted but still I was/am happy with it for my 2K 144Hz gaming compared to the 2080 Ti. No real mining done on it as it's my baby and burning it up scares me (I tried it once for a few hours with the fans maxed out but it didn't feel right at all, not really worth the risk to the hardware for me). 2: I was in queues for every eVGA GPU since then as I needed a GPU for an HTPC and for my cousin and only got 1 notification besides the 3080 I bought but it came in December on my birthday and that was the one day I wasn't checking my e-mails every 8 hours as I was out with the family. It was for a 3090 too and I was devastated at the time, totally put a cloud over my birthday night when I saw the message almost an hour after expiration when I got back from my birthday party lol. I e-mailed eVGA about this after the fact then forgot about it. 3: I put in notifications for the 3080 Ti launch and the 3070 Ti launch a day early since I was a member from the 3080 I bought and I got lucky 2 days ago and received a notification for the 3070 Ti FTW3 Ultra which arrived yesterday with next-day shipping! Originally this GPU was going to go into a compact PC I built that was going to my cousin but when I called him to give him the good news he ended up saying he could only afford the RTX 2060 system I built (since I told him I would give him the RTX 2060, 8086k, 16GB memory, 700w PSU, SSD and HDD, Case, mechanical keyboard and gaming mouse, an adorable 24" 144hz 1080p curved monitor, and z390 board for free since I had them in my workshop but since I bought a B550 board, 5800x, and the 3070 Ti he was gonna pay the price I got them for...probably my fault for offering the free stuff lol) out of spare parts so I guess I'll be selling the 5800x/3070 Ti system locally or online (hopefully locally to minimize additional effort and for safety) and I thought that was the end of things...I got lucky pulls from the queues and I had a system to use and a system to sell...but there's now an added complication. 4: The reason I mentioned #2 is because after I got that notification late and e-mailed them (I told them the whole story about what happened on my birthday) it seems like eventually they put me back in the queue for the 3090, maybe not at the end where I should have been (maybe even at the front...how many of these monsters do they even make?) and yesterday I got a notification for the 3090...but it wasn't for the 3090 I was expecting...it was for THE 3090 and was a lot more money than I was expecting lol...I ended up buying it because I figured I had to given the current market and it should be here Wednesday or Thursday depending on the day they ship it (I didn't do next-day because it was Friday night at 8pm and figured it would be a few days no matter what). Now the Situation/Questions: After my desperate search for video cards for all these months I suddenly got almost all of them I wanted so I now have 3 x 30-Series GPU's and a couple reasonable 20-Series GPU's and I'm not sure how I should deal with this. I don't trust myself to make a decision because my ape brain is screaming at me to keep the 3090 and put it in my PC and sell the rest of them but there are a few reasons I'm not sure about that (besides the fact that the cost is nuts obviously)...this would be my 4th time rebuilding my PC in the last month (It's getting old) as I swapped from a 9900k to a 5800x (and Z390 to X570 Motherboard), then from that to a 5950x (which I pulled everything apart for as well since I wasn't happy with the cable management), then again to swap from a H500P Mesh to a Corsair 4000D Airflow because I wanted a more compact case (and still didn't like the cable management) since I carry it to my workbench so often to add/swap stuff around. Beyond that the 360mm radiator for the 3090 would likely not fit very well with the H115i Pro in the Corsair 4000D Airflow unless I'm missing something? Technically the 4000D will take a 280mm rad up top and a 360mm rad in the front but it seems like that's pushing it since I would think that would restrict airflow a bunch and things barely fit as-is. Would I probably need to go back to the H500P Mesh? I'd really like to sell the PC with the 5800x in it to make back the money I spent and I don't think the Quadro M2000 I had in it as a placeholder is enough to get a buyer interested so basically I'm wondering if you guys think I should open and install either of my new GPU's and put them into this PC to sell it together or keep them boxed up and hope for a buyer looking for a GPU alone that has a use for the PC as well. If I had to swap cases back then the 5800x PC would go in the 4000D instead of the H500P. Is there a safe way to sell cards by themselves right now if I wanted to do that without scalping? Just trying to get out of this surprise investment I made without screwing anyone over and preferably end up with the card that's the best fit for my situation. TL-DR below... TL-DR: A: Which Card Should I Keep? B: How Should I Sell the System I Built and the Spare Card Potentially? (Safe Way Locally/Online to Do So*? Sell With the Card Boxed Up or Installed? If Installed, Which One?) C: Will I Need to Swap My Case Back? (Any 4000D Owners Here With Multiple Rads?) D: Any Other Advice Appreciated Here, I'm Still a Little Stunned From All This...Don't Even Know if This is the Right Forum Category to Post This In... Note: I realize I'm very lucky here, both by getting lucky in the queues and by having the money to buy the cards in the first place and I'm genuinely sorry and feel for people still hunting for one at a reasonable price (I was seriously considering a $2,100 6700XT bundle from Newegg Shuffle the other day and am so glad I didn't do it, stay strong!)...this is why I'm not trying to sell anything for scalper prices but I do need to at least make my money back if possible which I think is reasonable given the fact that I've invested hours and hours per day looking for cards for months...it's just funny that they all ended up being from eVGA lol. Also, sorry for the long post, any typos, and rambling but my brain is not working properly at the moment due to the shock of all this. * - I was gonna use OfferUp which is an app I've used to sell a few small things locally when I lived in my old house, not sure if it's still good or if it was ever good for bigger things like this. Attached is my notify queue, I got 2 notifications at once for the 3080 XC3 and FTW3 in October and naively thought I only needed the one and that this whole shortage will be over soon so no need to stock up...if I had gotten both at the time I could have skipped all of this I suppose since looking for the 3080 Ti or 3070 Ti was just for my cousin and I was only passively hunting for a 3090 since then in case I stumbled into one.

So I've got my jimmies rustled over something else now. First it was Intel and the idiotic Z170 chipset name. Now it is the latest PAX East video with the EVGA GTX 980 Classified K|NGP|N card. It is splet K|NGP|N, not K1ngp1n. It says so on the box and the GPU itself. Hell, even Vince Lucido spells it as K|NGP|N. So that's my rant. Feed off my tears nerds.

NCIX: n/a Amazon: n/a EVGA: http://www.evga.com/articles/00813/#Kingpin edit: added BT Sync secret for the voltage changer application. You can get BT Sync here: http://getsync.com/ Secret: BFC2XTYOWZHGRG7C6CZ6EKFYCTAKIT6PX So we don't know much about how to GET a K|ngp|n card other than that EVGA will have some kind of exclusive "build to order" program for it. In the meantime, stay tuned because if you've got the coin to spare... you're going to want one of these bad boys. By far the boss-est GTX 780 Ti we've ever used.
