i5 to i7 makes a big difference

[ADIOS]

As strange as it sounds the bottleneck seems to be the CPU at this time. Even though it's only working at 16 or 17% load it heats up to 60 - 80 Degrees Celsius. When I googled it, everyone seems to say it's just luck of the draw. Some people just get chips that run hot while others run very cool. Load is not proportional to temperature it seems. It still performs brilliantly, no doubt but I just don't like how hot it gets for how hard it's working.

Delid and put some good tim on there

That's the plan, 1080 are expensive here at Mexico, but I managed to buy it hahahah, that's why the 2600, instead of 3600, there's always Christmas to buy the other stuff hahahhahaha

I managed to buy a MSI Seahawk GTX hybrid 1080 for $350(7500 mxn) and am just waiting for Mobo+CPU+ram to arrive

WOW thats an amazing price. referb'd 1080s are going for $500. And it comes liquid cooled too.

Nice deal Shiryu..I just paided almost double for a evga 1080ti sc2 hybrid … actually almost 3 times if you factor in the weak Canadian dollar?...shit wonder if I can cancel it, I musta been drunk LoL

 

[shiryu_libra]

Well I think the most cost it's the GPU, but the Mobo+CPU+ram will be also 300ish.. and has am already own a Corsair air 540 I will try to water-cooling the CPU, I got 3 rads(360+240+140), I don't need to use all, but I got diversity hahahah

Anyways I will be active until Friday, today I just tested the card, and it was day/night situation, I believe I could make more damage now hahahhaha

You can get a 2080ti for $1099 in US Dollars.

Ya but I can't get a water cooled 2080ti for that LoL ..there 2000$ Canadian
The 11gb sc2 1080ti was 500$ US

 

[whitefish21]

Ya but I can't get a water cooled 2080ti for that LoL

Water cool it yourself for another $70ish.

I don't see how he could stabbed me anymore then he does so I'm not afraid LoL

This one has the bracket but not sure if it supports your card.

Or you can pick up and CPU water cooler like these:

https://www.microcenter.com/product/483748/masterliquid-ml240l-240mm-rgb-water-cooling-kit

and get a bracket for your specific card.

 

[ADIOS]

I might pick one up for my 1080ti 11gb card I have now and run 2 water cooled 1080ti's in sli hmmm

 

[shiryu_libra]

Lol, i would love to use some EKWB on this card, but I'll wait until Christmas, I spend a lot of money hahahahah

Watercooling is not as good as you think unless you invest in a custom loop. The AIO's are no better than a Noctua heatsink and fan. They're also more prone to failure as the pumps are pretty cheap. I went through 2 Corsair H100's before finally selling the RMA'd one and got a Noctua heatsink and fan. It's far more reliable, cools just as well even when OC'd and believe it or not, it's quieter.

I got no room Akula for one noctua fan and heatsink let alone 3 LoL..there just too big, the way my comp is layed out I can't even put one on the cpu. A custom loop is nice to look at but not a whole lot cooler then the good aio's when using straight water because they pretty much use the same rad's and fan's which is where the cooling comes from. It may take longer for the custom loop to heat up due to water volume in the system, but I have no room for a loop either,i have had 2 AIO's in 2 comp's and have not had a failure in 5 year's

Yep. You are not going to see more than a 1-2 degree difference unless you go custom. I do find my AIO very quiet though.
