My Gaming rig (8086k, 2080 Ti) what do you think?

[K0NG]

This is my Gaming PC. Let me know what you think.
i overclock for a few years now and have fun pushing the absolute limit out of it.

Specs:
Asus TUF Z370 Pro Gaming
Intel Core i7 8086k at 5.2 Ghz (no AVX Offset) and 5 Ghz Cache clock. (Delidded)
Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 32GB 3600 Mhz CL 18 (bought it 3 days ago. fiddeling around at 4 Ghz CL 18)
Zotac RTX 2080 Ti AMP Extreme Core (Liquid Metal) with Shuntmod (removed) for around 0.52 KW Powerlimit at 2280 Mhz and 16.4 GHz Memory clock (8200 MHz)
Now runs at around 2070 Mhz / 16 GHz with the Stock Cooler.
Corsair Carbide Air 540 with be quiet Pure Wings 140mm Fans and no dust filters.
Corsair Hydro H115i Pro RGB (280mm)
Storage:
1x 250GB Evo 970 Plus
2x 1TB 860 Evo
2x 1TB MX500
1x 1TB MX500 for Backups in External 2.5" USB Case.

HP27xq 1440p 144hz Freesnyc Monitor (works fine with "G-Sync")
Kingston HyperX Cloud II
Kingston HyperX Alloy Elite Cherry Red Switches
Zowie EC2-A Mouse
And a generic 2018 Model 40" Samsung 4K TV for Couch Gaming.

Weak, in other words you could go further with a better board

Heaven cannot read clock speeds properly. Use Afterburner's reading

i can go further with that board (same VRM as the Z370 Strix H) but why should i push like 1.45v into the CPU? and it still works fine at 5.2 Ghz 24/7.

the core clock was absolutely correct since it was the same in MSI Afterburner and GPU Z. all i have left over was my userbenchmark screenshot from that day which shows the exact same clock.

better board lets the CPU clock higher with the same effective voltage since voltage fluctuations is reduced and transient response improves

Update the drivers, see if that corrects the reading. I really doubr 2.28GHz is that easy when Kingpin 2080ti only guarantee 2.2GHz

these were the most recent drivers at the time.

the GPU pulled around 500 Watts at the time and it was watercooled.
that was more like a "just for fun" mod (8mo shunt mod) that was on the card for like 3 Days.

even "Stock" the GPU runs at up to 2100 Mhz with the normal Air cooler on it. (2070 Mhz at 72°C)

still, it's what I expect to be stable when you pull it below 0C at least.

This is plenty normal

Nice 

 

When I run Heaven it usually says 2280mhz. I think it is a bug.

 

Here it is with my Control(the game) overclock on my FTW3 Ultra.

 

On my EVGA XC it reports 2265mhz. Maybe because it is a reference PCB.

 

 

I get no gain going over 5.0 ghz on both my i7 8086k, so I keep one a 5ghz and the other at 5.1.

Yeah Heaven 4 shows clocks wrong. My one tells me I have almost 2400Mhz?  ¯\_( °-°)_/¯

 

I managed to get my ones to 2145Mhz each but it fluctuates.
