Thanks Spyder. Maya says it is actually using the geforce GPU. In fact it doesn't give me the option to use the CPU strangely. Still doesn't raise the temperature above 47 degrees even on an intensive render. Just installed Unreal Engine and that got the GPU's attention for sure. Fans wurring...

Thanks everyone. You've put y mind to rest :-)

Hi there, Just got my new PC this weekend. Had lots of issues with it. At first it wouldn't start (1 long beep proceeded by 3 short beeps). After about 4 attempts and pushing at some connectors I managed to get it working. Then I couldn't get windows to shut it down or go in to sleep mode...

Thanks Steaky. Yes I've heard about that software.

Thanks for that guys. Wasn't overly concerned, but nice to get the thumbs up from bigger brains than mine :)

I didn't. I ordered an Nvidia. Now my machine has arrived and I see that it's a Gigabyte 3080 not an Nvidia 3080. Just wanted to know if there is a difference in performance?

Hi there, I was wondering if there is any difference between an Nvidia RTX 3080 Geforce GPU and a Gigabyte RTX 3080 Geforce GPU? Kind regards Mike.

Helllo, I have a worksation currently being built and was wondering what would be a good temperature monitoring software to use? I have a Ryzen threadripper 24 cores CPU and a 3080 Geforce 10GB graphics card.

Thanks for all your help Spyder, you're a rock star! I'll probably place my order this weekend.

Ok. So the case fans speed up and slow down automatically depending on the temperature?

Hi Spyder, Thanks for all your help on this. One final question on the Fractal Meshify S2 case. Can you adjust the speed on the pre-installed fans?

Thanks Spyder. I am thinking of upgrading the RAM from 8GB Modules to 16GB as per Scott's suggestion. Are they larger than the 8GB and therefore a potential space problem with a top mounted radiator? Also, do you agree that the speed difference (3200MHz vs 3600MHz) is not really noticeable...

Thanks again Spyder. Do you know weather PCS would install the radiator in the front or the top since the case supports both set ups? Cheers Mike.

Thanks for that Spyder! Looking at the spec for the Fractal, it comes with one rear fan. Do you think that is enough? Cheers Mike.

Hi Spyder, Just following up on your recommendation for upgrading the case, In your opinion,, with the case I selected (Lian LI Lancool 215) do you think the system would run the risk of over heating? Cheers Mike.
