Just finished my 9900K / 2080Ti build this week. Was planning to wait another year or so but the Evolv X case lured me in!

Remember when this was amazing?

Overlcocking 1.6ghz athlons to 2.4ghz using a thermalright copper block with a vantec tornado cranking the northbridge from 133mhz to 200mhz to use ddr1-400 2-2-2-5

2002 called they said our crap sucks give us that sweet sweet 2019 hardware.

Here is my rig. An 18 core iMac Pro, Holo Audio Spring 2 KTE DAC, different active studio monitors (a PMC Result6 at the moment) and a Roger Mayer 456 so called Tape Simulator as a 1 input preamp. It sounds bloody good using the DAC and Hqlpayer volume control directly to the speakers, but sounds extremely lively, meaty and juicy, with the tape simulator. :)

I know it adds distortions and such, but I really like it this way, using Hqplayer DSD512 upconversion and direct no volume control processing to the DAC. It is a kind of magic.

Thats a lot of power just to run Roblox.

To be honest I barely play games these days but when I have time it's nice to know I can.

You can do some pretty intense video rendering too xD madvrs superssampling+motion smoothing is really great, best looking images I've come across super sharp and no soapy.

Is there anywhere to look at MadVR recommended settings for a 1080Ti?

Depends on what youre doing. 1080p, 1080p to 4k upscaling, or 4k.

I use

Chroma: NGU Sharp, Low to High(probably high in your case for the 1080ti)

Image Downscaling: SSIM 1D 100%(2D 100% for 1080ti). Linear light, anti_ringing/bloating

Image Upscaling: NGU Sharp
-luma doubling, High
-doubling, always supersampling
downscaling algo, use image downscaling settings

Upscaling Refinement
-crispen edges 2.0
-enhance detail 4.0
-anti ringing
-refine only once

Smooth motion on display at 60hz

You could probably play with quadrupling and refining after every step.

Thanks ill give it a go

Under the table is a custom built mid tower with silenced case and carefully picked parts. The build is practially not making any sound when not doing heavy stuff, and even when gaming I cant hear noise when having open headphones on the head.

Im thinking about trying to silence my build in the future but its going to be difficult with the beast 1080Ti running at 2GHz and 8700k @ 5.1GHz.

Maybe sound dampening foam...

This is the setup I am running and it's basically close to 0 db while surfing the net, and pretty quiet during gaming:

Cryorig C7 CU CPU cooler running at custom fan profile (curve goes from 20% pwn below 60C to 50% pwm once above 70C)
8700K delidded with liquid metal
2080 Ti - fan speed max 45%, Power Target 85%.
600W Seasonic Fanless PSU

I am using a 4K Gsync 60hz monitor so the CPU requirements aren't that high, and turning down the power target helps keep the GPU cool. I have this all in a small mini ITX case (Silverstone Sugo 13).

0 dB? So it doesn't make any noise? How do your fans not make noise if they're running at 20%? FYI the ticking of a watch is about 10 dB.
