Is that why all the joysticks are sticky on the Simpsons arcade box? Damn.

70 inch HDR TV you say?

Yep with a better upgrading path, unless they fixed the whole “nuke your OS to upgrade” thing.

Yes, Mint with Pantheon. As the founding fathers intended.

Yes. Am Americans, can confirm.

This is on the back of the box they sent me for my Hannah Montana distro disk;

“Hannah Montana Linux Distro doesn’t do normal hats. It’s all about drunk cowboy hats that make your terminal look like it’s tripping on glitter and sparkly headbands to remind you your life’s a goddamn trainwreck. You got pink tiaras for when you want to pretend you’re a diva while the system crashes on startup, and don’t even think about the wig hat — it’s the digital equivalent of identity crisis, just like Miley.”

Steam OS ISO when?

Wifi on resume is the bane of my existence. If I close my lid I just have my laptop restart. Mint.

Yea and I just got gifted a 2080ti, so I’m gonna stick with windows on my stationary desktop. However my laptop does use Mint and that’s my daily driver.

To be fair. In my experience, everything mostly does work like in windows. But I always think it’s like attributing Windows switching to Linux as Mac to Windows.

Mac users are used to not dealing with the registry, lusrmgr, local group policies in the same way Windows users aren’t used to dealing with fstab, grub, proton, wine, various desktop environment tweaks.

Yep! Now to uninstall rainbow 6 and get back to playing FTL at 60fps locked, windowed 720p. Lol

I also did the fan config like you suggested. I may even take the top exhaust fans off all together.

Fan control. MSI after burner. Nvidia drivers.

Ah! I was just about to update everyone. I repasted my 2080ti, and used 3 thermalite 92mm low profile fans. That brought the temps down to 66 under max graphics benchmark on Rainbow 6 siege!

Mission accomplished boys!

I just upgraded to an A520. I’m right there with you.

Oh it’s okay. I don’t mind asking dumb questions so it never helps. And I came on strong with my insecurities in the reply with needing to show I knew what I was doing lol.

Anyways, I’m on windows for now but planning on switching back to Mint once I get a good tune. So I’m gonna be in the same boat. I’m looking into low profile 92mm high static pressure fans.

Benchmarking is a good idea! I’ve been using rainbow 6 siege for testing constants. I took two pci brackets off the back of the motherboard and gave it some more flow but alas, I think I’m just hitting heat saturation. I have some spare fans I can test with tonight.

Hmmm from my understanding each eye screen has a resolution around 1440p?

Oh I’ve used a headset at 30fps. I know that nauseous feeling lol

Yea I guess you’re right about the anti sag brick. But it does have a bunch of speed holes in it I thought would be enough. I really don’t like the column antisag methods.

Ill disconnect the fans you all have recommended and report back.

Thanks this is my first small case like this. Usually I either have a big fuck all case or one of those mini ITX cases that you put the GPU on the back side of the mobo.

Thank you for the thorough response.

While I’ve been building computers since the original i3/5/7 series, I have always had full sized cases, or obscure goofy cooler master cube cases. This is my first tiny case that isnt something like a split ITX SFF case, and I have to actually thing about airflow. I had strong thoughts that the front top two corner fans were causing dead air pockets, my CPU cooler was ripping at higher RPM once the machine started going, and it almost seemed like the 2080 was exhausting right into the CPU cooler to eject out instead of being whisked out.

The GPU, I may have misrepresented myself once again. But this is my first time with an 80 series card, or any kind in its class. First thing I did when I got this card was thermal paste, I haven’t undervolted yet, and really until I figure out this airflow situation I believe overclocking is going to be met with thermal throttles before I get anywhere close to gains. Im hitting thermal throttle at 85c (for some reason NVIDIA experience arbitrarily set that?) Riva Turner shows relatively okay speeds, and load, but I cant get rid of that heat!

Your recommendations:

• This is a brand new PC (2080ti used) Ryzen 5700x, 32gb, 2080ti - No dust in sight…yet.
• Im thinking of 90mm fan swapping this 2080ti, the fans I have on this are loud under load. But the curve I have on it now I think is just dumping air into the chassis.
• I’m thermal throttling at 85c right now.
• “Bind the case fans to GPU” - okay so for this one, in my BIOS I don’t directly see PCIE, or GPU to bind fans to, but I can see CPU, VRMMOS, SYS_FAN, and SYSTEM1. I am assuming VRM_MOS is the motherboards not the PCIE’s? Gigabyte mobo.

(Already replaced thermal paste with arctic 5, that’s my go to. Also, a lot of fans now adays have resistors to prevent current from going back to the mobo if you get your fan going to fast.)

Previous builds, all with goofy, non standard cases: (Bunch of laptops, and USFF Dells) 8500/RX580 4770/1060 4690/R9 380 3770k/R9 290 970/GTX970

Oh I just got this 2080ti so maybe about a week ago!
