>>384215369
Really though, other than the zotac gpu you did pretty good. I would have gone with the asus cards because in terms of overclocking without risking reliability they're the best in the market right now. Plus if you have an asus monitor you can g-sync and smooth the frames even more.

source: I'm running 2 of them on sli right now. It's worth the "REPUBLIC OF GAMURZ" cringe.

Custom loop will actually get you decent temperatures. AOI will cost 100 dollars for air cooler that costs half the price but same performance.

>>384215097

Because delidding is extremely risky and they have a great track record for it.

>>384213275
It only shorten lifespan if you run it above recomended conditions.

>>384215979
shit nig, even if you're going for budget it's always better to get more than 1 stick of ram, 2 sticks of 4 gb will work better than 1 stick of 8.

>>384216050

That's what overclocking with shit temps is, dumb fuck.

>>384216050

high temps above 60 is when you're starting to slowly fuck your shit over. 50 and below is normal.

>>384215894
For real though, I was scared at first too. Just start off with something small then slowly work your way up while education your self.

>>384215969
O ok

>>384215894
It's really not that hard nigger. Everything only fits in one spot only and one direction only. It's mostly about not being retarded and researching the parts to make sure you're not buying a firebomb or shit that's not compatible. The actual building part is super simple as long as you consult your manuals and don't try to guess shit.

>>384216132

>>384216665
whats a good reccomendation then cunt

>>384216534
the actual brand does not matter as the actual ram memory sticks are all made by the same 3 companies and then bought in bulk. What you are paying for is the heatsink and the branding. It's all about how many sticks you want, the DDR memory and the A E S T H E T I C S you want. if you're going for gaming only then DDR is really not that important, you wont notice a difference beteween ddr4 2400 and 3200. Just go for anything with 2 sticks of 4 or 4 sticks of 2 that fits your build aesthetically.

>>384216797
just go for what we have now, there is no way with the diminishing returns we have that they're gonna be worth the insane price they're sure to get at first. If you build a top of the line computer right now you probably won't have to upgrade for at least 15 years.

>>384209871
I remember you OP, you were talking about the zotac AMP a few days ago.

Anyway, i would have strongly recomended the asus Strix for overall perfomance, but it isnt really a world of difference. A 1080ti still a 1080ti

For real whats so bad about Zotac?!
Are you really cucked by brand names that bad?

>>384217012

>>384217014
Imagine that the 1080ti blueprint is the latest car motor available.

Ferrari takes that motor blueprint and puts it in a top of the line car, so does Lamborghini, Porsche and Lexus.

Then a company called Fimbus comes around and does the same, no one has ever heard of them before and they have no track record.

Instead of buying one of the established brands you went and bought the fimbus, you fucking dingus.

The whole point of buying an aftermarket card is getting an improved version of the card and more bang for your buck, mostly in terms of reliability and overclocking potential, otherwise you'd just buy the founders edition.

You don't need to be a brand loyalist to think that Zotac is bad. While I can't comment on their high end stuff, I can say that their mid-range card's have been pretty bad from my experience.

>>384218268
That's typical of Sapphire, their Nitros are their only good GPUs, the Pulse crap they came out with is shit by comparison.

Or posted idle temps to show how low the temps can go. When under light load the average is usually 35 to 40C. Heavier loads the temps shoot up to 65C if lucky but I'll bet it's usually 75C+ for most people.

>50 isn't bad for idling really

It kinda is. Should never go above 40 Max.

Fans tend to crap out faster than anything else on a GPU. Get a 10 to 20 percent fan curve at 40C in msi afterburner then ramp it up past 60C.
