RGB is great
At the very least its a great option to have, dont need it on or dont like it on, then turn it off. Want to turn it on, turn it on and be amazed.

By Pennywise Go To PostGot the specific bluescreen message?
Which BS message is that?
Thought: If I can stuff my old GTX 980ti into this machine and run some tests that would probably tell me whether ti's my GPU or PSU right?

By Laboured Go To PostWhich BS message is that?It can help to narrow it down, should appear when the PC is shutting down.
By Laboured Go To PostThought: If I can stuff my old GTX 980ti into this machine and run some tests that would probably tell me whether ti's my GPU or PSU right?Easiest way.
You can also test out the RAM by running just one RAM stick at a time, so you're sure it's not the RAM.
Most likely gonna be the GPU or PSU though.
It's certainly an option but then I'm without my PC completely for most of a week and that hurts my soul.

You paid for that ability when you bought the PC.
I'd prefer to work out what the problem is so they can just send me the replacement part for free the next day. But I may have to concede defeat and send it in for testing.
So the CPU is okay now? With the new cooler and stuff?
Eliminating the GPU should be a quick and easy job, if you still have your 980Ti. After that ... PSU, RAM and mobo left to diagnose.

Yup, so CPU temps are fine now relatively speaking and I'll have a play with the exhaust/intake arrangement at the weekend to see if I can improve it further.
Just installed my GTX 980ti, clean driver install and then ran the Timespy stress test that was causing my 1080ti to crash in 3 minutes.
Aaaaaannnnnnd it was absolutely fine and ran the full thing without a hitch, visual artifact or crash.
So it looks the GPU is the crashing culprit.
Good stuff, Cavalo. They should upgrade you to a 1180gtx for free for all your trouble.
The last and quite possibly only thing I remember dying on me was a pair of SATA3 ports on my previous motherboard a month after I bought it, and even that was a well-known factory fault, with Gigabyte issuing recalls & shit. Didn't bother sending it in, bought a cheapo SATA exp. card instead.
I've been incredibly lucky with electronics in general and I'm someone who often buys second hand, GPUs especially. Knocking on legno.

Oh you have to be kidding me lol
The rollercoaster continues.
I’ve now reinstalled the 1080ti with another completely fresh driver install. Stock clocks again. And it’s running the stress test without any problems/artifacts/crashes now.
Wonder what was causing it before. Perhaps some clock settings were being read wrong or something?
Think I’m going to monitor for now because this is completely stable atm. Never had anything like this before.

By Laboured Go To PostOh you have to be kidding me lolHad a friend who changed his PSU, motherboard and in the end GPU.

He had crashes under load and had no idea what it was. While looking for possible errors on the net, he found out that his motherboard got a surge protection in the BIOS setting that can cause these crashes. Was hilarious that a MB manufacturer had faulty software like that.
By Laboured Go To PostI'm just happy my PC seems to be working normally right now.With that out of the way, it's time for the ultimate upgrade.
What's the go to place for buying binned & delidded processors these days? Is there such a place? Asking for a friend.

Looks like the i9- 9900k and co are releasing in October
https://www.techpowerup.com/246491/intel-to-paper-launch-9th-gen-core-on-august-14-availability-in-q4-2018
Looks like it really might be that time. With the new CPUs and Nvidia GPUs in the next couple of months, might finally be time to say goodbye to X79. The boost clock to 5.00ghz with no OC is excellent.
https://www.techpowerup.com/246491/intel-to-paper-launch-9th-gen-core-on-august-14-availability-in-q4-2018
"Whiskey Lake" was originally planned for Q1-2019 alongside the 14 nm original Z390 chipset. Intel wasn't expecting AMD to rebound with Ryzen 2000 series (particularly the tangible IPC increases and improved multi-core boosting). And so, it decided to rush through with a new product generation yet again. The Z370 is being re-branded to Z390 (with an improved CPU VRM reference design), and what was originally meant to come out in Q1-2019, could come out by Q4-2018, at the very earliest by October. Intel reportedly planned availability sooner, but realized that distributors have heaps of unsold 8th generation Core inventory, and motherboard vendors aren't fully ready for the chip. Since getting a 9th gen Core chip doesn't warrant a new motherboard, customers would be inclined to pick up 9th generation chip with their existing boards, or any new 300-series board. This would kill the prospects of selling 8th generation Core CPUs.
Intel still wants to make the presence of its 9th generation Core processors felt. And so, at the risk of cannibalizing its 8th generation Core sales, Intel is going ahead with a paper-launch of 9th generation Core on 14th August. You'll have to wait until October not just for availability, but also reviews of these chips. The company is just looking to restore competitiveness at the upper end of its lineup for now, and so its launch will be limited to three SKUs: Core i9-9900K, Core i7-9700K, and Core i5-9600K (detailed in the table below). Of these, the i9-9900K and the i7-9700K are the first 8-core processors by Intel on the mainstream-desktop platform; while the i5-9600K is a 6-core chip that's largely unchanged from the current-generation Core i5 chips. This shows that Intel won't improve its lineup over generation unless absolutely warranted by the competitive environment.

By Zabojnik Go To PostOC all cores to 5ghz, done. Tempting. How much do we reckon the 9900k is going to be?$990
By Smokey Go To PostIs anyone willing to explain what each of those things mean? Like threads, cores, l2 cache, l3 cache etc.

The long summer is finally over.
The EVGA 1070 (baseline for cheapest 1070 in early 2017) is now at 379.99 with free S/H. During the crypto craziness the card had shot up to well over 500 bucks. I mention this because this is the first time that card has reached that price since before the craze, and multiple EVGA cards are under/around 400 bucks now. All the 1070s are almost at pre crypto levels now... I can finally get my sister's machine done.

Cores = smaller processing units inside the processor; the more cores a CPU has, the more parallel work it can do, the faster it is
Threads = instruction streams (code, basically) that run on the CPU / cores; the more threads can run simultaneously, the faster things get done
L1, L2, L3, etc. cache = small, super fast and very expensive memory ('RAM') inside the processor; the lower the number, the faster

bombarding us with hints via chat room aliases including RoyTeX, Not_11, Mac-20 and Eight-Tee - tying into rumours that the new flagship is named RTX 2080, as opposed to GTX 1180. There are even GPS coordinates in the video - 50.968495,7.014026 - which resolve to a location on the edge of Cologne, the city where Nvidia is hosting its 'GeForce Gaming Celebration' on Monday next week.

Ticks all those boxes, maybe not good sound tho. I'm not an audiophile but it sounds good to me.
