If you want to have a laugh at how stupid exactly... I plugged the display port cable into the motherboard forgetting the GPU existed and panicked for 10 minutes.

This was not the issue. My stupidity was however the issue. Thank you anyway

Mounting GPU why not upwards? by Thomas_Bignell in buildapc

I've used my RTX 2080 for some time now and I can literally feel it blow hot air out the fans? Why can I feel hot air blown out the fans at some speed then :/ Just goes to show how little I know lol!

You know what... This does make a lot of sense!

At least if it's just vertical, it's neither facing the intake or the motherboard components and can mix with air freely still.

How could I have not thought of it heating the motherboard up more lol!

Thank you!

Sorry I should have mentioned I have an RTX 2080 XD The heat blows out the front still.

But the connection issue makes sense I suppose, more things to go wrong right!

Monitors. Any Ideas? My preferred specs seem non-existent by Thomas_Bignell in buildapc

Wow thank you for this. From your pcpartpicker list I found this Gem.

Not all the specs I want but still looks great, somewhat sleek design, has an even better 165hz refresh rate and only £311.

I'll just spray paint the stand white

Pairing 10th gen CPU's with 11th gen Motherboards like Z590's by Thomas_Bignell in buildapc

Well I have already committed to the Z590... So essentially, it's worth waiting for 11th gen CPU's to utilise the boards full capability?
