Hi
This time I am going to put in parts without doing the regular custom liquid cooling because I am lazy this time.
Which GTX 1080 Ti would I get for maximum performance?
I have been looking at the EVGA Hybrid.
Anyone?

evga use ace tech, dont support patent trolls.
the asus and the zotac look like they have giant heat sinks and will run quiet.

EVGA, warranty support is second to none...
I have the ASUS ROG Strix 1080 Ti OC, I love it. The thing is a beast.

What about the MSI 1080Ti Gaming?
You guys think I should avoid evga or not? Im confused.

EVGA is 2 slots, the rest are 2.5 slots.
if you are concerned about warranty, EVGA has a great CS support.
My shop doesnt have EVGA available I checked just now. Option is MSI Gaming version. Or GIgabyte version. sigh...

I've had 2 msi gaming x 1080 ti's.
And both had massive coin whine.
If you use vsync at 60hz it's 99% gone, I only hear it on one game or 2 in that case.
If on vsync and say 72hz..., it has some massive coil whine.
Some games can use all the gpu up and not get coil while, it's weird.
Both of my msi's have been junk.
It also cost me $20 to send my 1st one back.
Newegg has a no refund policy on this one.
Though I'm trying to anyways, I think 2 weeks past the rma period, being my 2nd card I sat on it and said screw it I need to get things done.
My cat died, the vets were useless, and they cost me alot of money for nothing and wanted way more, and tbh I didn't trust them anyways to take my kitty overnight.
I wish I could of tried though and had the option, instead thinking I needed to buy the card asap so I could get my brother upgraded with my 680l...
(... I just got pissed off at him today and he ran away so it was a complete waste form the get go, and the fact that when he moved in my cat got sick and died, a big wtf ^^)
But anyway I've been stuck, with a 2nd defective card.
They'll all suck ^^.
The msi's.
Heard it affects asus as well.
I dn about evga.
The only thing I haven't tried to fix it, and I mean the ONLY thing, is change the voltage level of my 12v rail.
And also, always load a custom fan profile on startup with these cards that have that 0 rpm feature gimmick.
Otherwise you'll run into trouble the 1st time you go to run a video.

If you guys get one of these cards, make sure your cpu is clocked past 4ghz.
If it's under, you would be better off with a 1080 for the time being.
I'm at 4.2ghz, it's what I get for 100% stability (48hr y-cruncher test and etc) at stock voltage with turbo enabled (it's +0.1 in turbo I believe, it's stock)
When I 1st got the cpu it looked like it could do 4.5ghz at stock but it ended up failing the longer tests like gaming and y cruncher.
I have seen up to 96% gpu usage in a avg for a min, I have seen 99 and 100%'s in short bursts.
It needs more though, I would say 5ghz, seriously..., to use all of it, you probably need 5ghz.
(Either that or it was my guess that it would take 5ghz in linux to perf the equ of win7 at 4.2ghz)
In linux, turbo mode for my ivy-e did not work, forever.
Until just recently, kernel v4.11 fixed this for me, turbo is working perfectly now.
I was previously on 4.6.7, and tons of previous kernels.
If you are using linux to the side, of course, and gaming on it, or even not gaming... ^^, upgrade the kernel and you will get an extra few 100 mhz with your turbo being enabled .
And that will help a bit, 5% - 15%.
I'm just saying, if your cpu is at exactly 4ghz or even lower, you may wanna think about adding +0.1v to it to get the overclock.
I'm thinking about it in the future.
I'de like to change my cooler though before that, this 280mm aio cooler sometimes barely handles stock, other times it's fine lol.
And it makes noises some times, like it's got air bubbles.
I should probably post my current code later on for this card.
I got some fan code, redone (now there's a min speed, so it don't try to set under 30% rpm), and also redid my osd code, for linux...
And conky code too...
I like that I can use nvidia-smi to get my gpu usage now, it prevents my gpu from ramping up the pstate just to check the usage, the old method messed up like that, ie on my 680, so it only used to be useful for gaming, now I can watch my usage when doing normal day to day things, like flash video and 4k movies, etc, without using 280w's of power lol, or whatever.
