I know my GTX 1080 requires 500w minimum. I have a 750w PSU.

The ftw3 says 600w on the box. Installed it and it runs awesome. So somehow my coworker got sent a refurbished sc2 black that has the same issue as the one he sent in for repair last year. So he's sending it again and hoping they send him a 2080 instead.

^ it’s jacked everything. Honda even just announced shutting car production down due to part shortages from suppliers.

What are your CPU and GPU temps? Do you monitor them?
I know not everyone is anal about that like me lol

I do monitor them. I can't remember off hand but I think they were both around 65.

Nice. What processor did you snag?

It should be a beast of a processor for the money/performance factor right now.

That'll be overkill. Do you need minimum graphics abilities on your server or is everything handled remotely?

overkill was a bit the goal. It has a quadro p2000 that can handle 8-12 4k transcode streams on the fly, but audio transcodes still run through the cpu. I was getting stutters and audio dropouts streaming direct play 4k video and 7.1 to 5.1 transcode in the house when someone off site started a remote stream or the server did anything else, even file moving, hopefully this fixes it a while

Playing forza cpu is 75c gpu is 69c. This is with the sc2 black now. Coworker sent his in and they gave him a new one so I traded again and it works without crashing now. So the itx build will start soon. I'm waiting for prices to go down a little more, although they might go up again soon.
Probably going b450i instead of b550i to save some money.

Placed my order today.
I have to look into it again but I'm hoping to be able to install one 3.5 hdd. I have a boot ssd. Plus the 1080ti, 3600, and my 550w corsair Psu.
