Yeah, that's fully up to date then.
As far as I can see, everything is set as it needs to be.
See how you get on from now on, if you've got any problems then perhaps a reinstall is the best way forward, but for now, I'd see how it goes.
Spyder, massive thanks for dealing with me in such a considerate way and walking me through all the troubleshooting, you've been such a help and all out of sheer kindness! I'll see if things stay stable, hoping I'm now out of the woods with the dx crashes but if not luckily the warranty is good for a while.
Huge thanks again and have a lovely weekend

Mate, no problems at all, sincere pleasure, you were the one that got it workingSpyder, massive thanks for dealing with me in such a considerate way and walking me through all the troubleshooting, you've been such a help and all out of sheer kindness!

If you come across anything further, we're always here, and there's a lot of good people on the site eager to help out.
Fingers crossed it settles down. Really is an epic build.
You really need a 1440p Ultrawide or 4k monitor on that beast though, your current screens are barely going to make it sweat. IMHO with everything that's going on, I would buy sooner rather than later as prices are set to go high and stocks will be short in the upcoming months.

There's a great post here with loads of good suggestions:
Gaming Monitors Guide
The monitor is probably the most important component in any gaming build – it defines how you experience games and the hardware the PC should have. Overlooking the monitor can be the single biggest bottleneck to your gaming experience. With recent monitor and graphics card launches, and wider...
If space is an issue, maybe just a 4k 144Hz screen, that would futureproof you for some time to come. The 2080ti would be able to push over 60fps almost always, then when you upgraded the GPU it would just get faster and faster.
Good site here on 4k 144hz:
Best 4K Gaming Monitors for PC 2024: 144Hz, Curved and More
These are the best 4K gaming monitors to consider if you're ready to upgrade your gaming experience.

The Acer Nitro is a good bargain at around £750 currently:
Acer Nitro XV273K 27" 3840x2160 IPS 4K UHD 144Hz FreeSync/G-Sync Widescreen LED Gaming Monitor
FreeSync, G-Sync Compatible, Screen Size 27", Resolution 3840x2160 4K UHD, Response time: 1 ms, Brightness 350 cd/m², Contrast ratio 100M:1
Had a look, quite a few people mentioning excessive backlight bleed. Will shop around for sure, don't mind paying a bit more for quality but it'll be a hard sell for the boyf since he's not a gamer or even much of a computer guy. Would need to sneak the idea around him for a bit haha.
Thanks so much for the recommendations though. Will absolutely look at upgrading my screen soon.

I'll have to look into what settings are required to enable that part of device security, but it's availble on both my laptop (PCS laptop but I configured it all and ordered without windows) and homemade desktop.
UEFI "should" be configured on any modern BIOS, it's not essential by any means, but really it should be setup as such on any modern PC/laptop.
I'm surprised if it's disabled as standard on PCS builds, but shall do some further investigation and raise it with them if anything concrete turns up.
Thanks for highlighting that though @Nursemorph

The OPs motherboard does not have a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and that's why he can't manage Device Security. My Asus Z170-P is the same, it has no TPM and I see exactly the same device security message because of that. It's not a problem, just a motherboard that lacks the very latest security features.

My PC doesn't have a TPM, and neither does my laptop, but mine both show the core isolation toggle in device security which is what should be shown:The OPs motherboard does not have a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and that's why he can't manage Device Security.

The "Standard hardware security not supported" message is only shown when UEFI is disabled, which it is on my laptop. That's not the issue, it's the core isolation bit that should be shown on any modern pc with a semi decent chip.

I reckon it is a recent addition, but not certain, I’ve never known about it before this issue cropped up.
Hi again all,
So after another two graphics card crashes today I decided to reinstall windows with the OS set to UEFI Windows in the bios.
Even after the reinstall, I see no toggle on my device security screen.
At this point should I be asking to return the pc to pcspecialist? Kinda annoyed I can barely play games on high setting for more than an hour or so before the graphics card dies.

I found this thread:
Everyone in this topic is saying the card pretty much requirings two pcie cables rather than one split in two. I'm really no savvy as to what that means, but I'm attaching a picture and can someone let me know if I have one split in two or two? My PSU is 750w and I even got a message when I selected it saying it was more than I needed as this build's maximum draw was apparently like 620 or something.

From what I can see, that's got the wrong PSU line connected, it shoudn't be split, it should be 2 PCIe outputs from the PSU into each 4+2 pin connector on the GPU.
If you trace the cable going from the split to the PSU and see which output it is on the PSU, it should be PCIe.
I have a feeling either it's in the wrong output or someones used the wrong cable.

I cant figure out how to trace the cable as it disappears behind a shroud in the case. I contacted pcspecialist and they said the GPU us likely faulty and they're sending me one to swap but I do feel like this cable thing is the issue. With how complex the case is through I just dont know if I'm comfortable pulling bits out
