Hi, thanks for the reply. Will that PSU power a STRIX 2080ti?

 

[Damien.]

Unfortunately I already have the STRIX card, couldn't walk away from the deal, only paid £875 for it.

Score ! Damn nice deal then !

Made a few minor tweaks, what do you think before i click buy for delivery for tomorrow!

Made a last minute change to the CPU cooler, went for the Corsair Hydro H150i instead and a set of maglev RGB fans. Order placed.

The one click overclock is interesting because I am far from experienced when it comes to these sorts of things. I should be fine putting the rig together but overclocking is like another language. Is it as simple as changing a setting in the BIOS?

 

[Damien.]

Re the ssd; bugger, I might order the intel one and just send the Samsung one back then, just means I’ll have to wait until Monday to install the OS.

 

[Damien.]

Is the ram equally as easy to oc or should I leave that as is?

@orbitalwalsh - Everythings up and running but I cant help but think my fan setup is wrong. Have you experimented with different rad mounting locations etc? I noticed you have your side mounted fans pulling fresh air into the case, mine are currently pushing air out. Wondering if id be better turning these around. At the moment I dont have any bottom mounted but have some turning up on Tuesday.

SNIP

Yeah this is was my issue, fans didnt look great mounted the other way round. Will get the 3 bottom mounted and see if that helps temps atall.

I have some braided cables coming too so going to repaste also, not conviced ive done a proper job.

 

[Damien.]

I agree.

I've managed to achieve a real stable clock of 5.0 ghz on all cores with very little overclocking knowledge.

That said, if you look at gaming benchmarks there really isn't many frames between stock and overclocked. It begs the question, it it worth stressing the CPU in the first place.

With regards to the new CPU's, I don't think the performance difference between the 9 series and 10 series will be worth waiting for. Unless there's something huge on the horizon that I've missed. As orbital said, AMD's pricing means Intel will just carry on charging a premium so don't expect the new chips to be cheap.

How many FPS are you are talking about here ? I’m very tempted for a new setup would love 5.1 bundle.

Take a look here (hopefully I am allowed to link this); https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/intel-core-i7-9700k-9th-gen-cpu,5876-5.html

For example in a cpu bound game like GTA5, the 9700k @ 5.1 returns an average of 114 frames where the stock 9700k returns an average of 108 frames. A difference of 6 frames.

Another example from Gamers Nexus shows that at higher resolutions, the benefit is even less;
