    Thanks PiotrMKG. So you are using the single core option and doing them separately? I’ll take a look tomorrow. I’m going to concentrate on the 3080 FE in the morning and go back to the 5800X later. What is the best way to determine the best cores? Monitor during a stress test?

     

    I use this program by ManniX-ITA from Overclock.net forums, it stresses just single core while running. You have to revert settings in BIOS to stock (at least those that refer to CPU OC), run the program, while monitoring CPU core clocks in HWinfo, after 5-6 passes (for each core) You will know which ones are best (highest clocking).

    Awesome ... Piotr, meant to ask, what PSU do you use? your RTX 3090 needs 3 x plugs

    I guess thats Aftermarket PSU cables too, very neat,

    You know what, might go proper water cooling for my CPU soon, the 5950X I own should be running a little cooler, its well within spec of course but current Corsair cooler, its a drain on software resources, it wants a USB plug, just for RGB bling, but more ... and its so not needed ,,, the OcUK non name 360 AIO cooler I use on my second older I7 8700K 5Ghz is fantastic, might swap them over if I can get it to fit my Ryzen CPU?

    Heard some folk undervolt these new AMD CPU's too ... but thats silly IMHO, system here has been 100% reliable since day one and crushes everything I do with it at 4K, its wonderfully stable ... really dont want to mess with it to be honest my friend.

    I use Corsair AX1500i, I made cables myself, they are 15AWG with original Molex connectors, sleeved with MDPC sleeves.

     

    360 is a good option for 16core CPU, I guess every thing with RGB requires some bloatware installed to run. You will need check mounting, AMD has different dimensions than Intel. 

     

    Undervolting and PBO was a thing with zen 2, on zen 3 most common OC is through PBO and CO (curve optimizer)

    Do you really think expensive performance motherboards make a difference Piotr? I tried two good ones for my CPU and GPU this upgrade, both had hooks for dedicated water cooling loops ... but you know what buddy, you can invest cooling in that hardware, and before you know it, it can become a loop of ever increasing expenditure trying to keep up with the Joneses and changing CPU socket types ETC ... what is your Flight sim Goal? what sim do you aim the performance at?

    Hope I do not sound critical, really do want to see this build of yours here and FS results.

    No, past 350 euro all motherboards are more than good enough for daily usage. For non enthusiasts I recommend AIO and eventually GPU with AIO included like EVGA Hybrid series, that will give you 95% performance of custom water loop with almost none of the drawbacks. My current PC started it's live in 2014 with 5960X and X99 chipset until 2020 when I switched to AMD, water loop is still the same as day one, except for different waterblock for GPU. Goal is constant 60fps@ultra settings in GA aircraft and 45+ in payware airliners.

    Hi Piotr

     

    This is an excellent photograph. I have read and watched youtube videos when various people have talked about how large a 3090 is, but no none took a very practical approach as you did to illustrate it so nicely 

     

    All of us can relate to the size of a 1080 and your comparison really shows how massive this new gpu is.  In fact it seems to me that it is might be physically too large to fit into many existing cases.

     

    My plan , when stock becomes available is to upgrade my existing gpu to a RTX3070 which my computer store assures me will fit nicely in my existing system.  They also suggested that I might want to consider water cooling for the card which they would do for me (they have built all my gaming computers)

     

    I see that you are using the Heatkiller IV water cooling block on the 1080.  At their website  they make models for all the 3000 series of cards as well. Is this what you will use on your 3090.

     

    The reason I ask is that they mentioned that I might be interested in that brand as well which they recommend and use.  I have no experience with water cooling so it is a thoughtful decision for me.  I struggle with the idea of having conductive fluids in my computer is my big concern.

     

    Thanks 

    Pete

    Much of this lenght comes from that, cooling extends past PCB, if I change aircooler to waterblock it should look almost the same as 1080. This time I will return to Aquacomputer with active backplate (had it on GTX 980, AQ didn't make waterblock for EVGA 1080 FTW so I went with Watercool - equally superb waterblock). I don't recall 3070 waterblock anouncments except maybe for EKWB.
