I moved the fan curve to hit 100% at 85C and it's much quieter. Yes I could physically move the PC, but not sure how rubbish that will look. I will give it a try though. > It gets steeper above 80C, but shouldn't ever get to that point, and hasn't to date. Give Elden Ring a go - that will...

OK, thanks I'll try that. So what's the maximum temperature I should allow the GPU to reach before pulling the plug?

All three fan settings (L&R, Mid and Ex) are all set like this to hit 100% at 65C. When monitoring Elden Ring in the open world, with the settings on Maximum except for FSAA & Motion Blur turned off, I am seeing about 65C with the fans at 2900RPM. Oh and here is the PC and desk:v

I recently bought this PC and have been delighted with it: Case CORSAIR 5000D AIRFLOW TEMPERED GLASS GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12 Core CPU (3.7GHz-4.8GHz/70MB CACHE/AM4) Motherboard GIGABYTE X570S AORUS ELITE AX : ATX (USB 3.2 Gen 1, PCIe 4.0, CrossFireX) - ARGB Ready...

I think you were very lucky, which is a nice thing these days where unlucky seems the default :)

Yes. It was £19. I live in Hampshire.

I wasn’t complaining 🙂 I am anxiously waiting for “Dorin” to delivery it between 10:45 and 11:45 😆

It was 15 working days before the build started on Monday and it took longer than expected in testing due to problems. And yes, I went for a standard 3080 10Gb.

Yes it's been "dispatched", however it's not been picked-up by DPD yet, but is set to deliver tomorrow before 2PM. There was a pretty quick reaction to me adding the Saturday delivery sub-order.

I paid to upgrade from Mon-Fri to Sat before 2PM and it was accepted, so it's probably gonna work.

Mine hit a problem in testing so has taken a few extra days to hit Await Dispatch. I asked what the problem was and they just told me it was crashing. I think this is better service than most PC builders who wouldn't bother soak-testing the rig before dispatching it. Just hoping I can upgrade...

I ordered the 10Gb model and my machine just went into building, so that was 15 working days.

OK thanks - looks like there's a good chance it will start building next week then.

Where do you get the queue order from? I ordered a Ryzen 5900X with RTX 3080 on 25-Jan and cannot find my queue position anywhere.

Ah Houdini... fantastic piece of software! Are you a technical artist? Game dev? Anyway I am no PC building expert but you don't need a 1000W power supply with that GPU, so you might shave a bit off by lowering that to 650w or some such. Also I am going Ryzen 5900x which might be better...
