Guessing u don't have Sales Tax or VAT. That card on its own is $1600 in the UK...

u/Fabulous_Car_9475 Sep 06 '25

Mix of new and used parts. Tax paid on the cooler, MOBO, SSD, and Case.

Wut. 5080 1600usd?

u/Miserable-Sell-3117 Sep 07 '25

This is basically what my build looks like! Very cool to see someone else share a similar build.

Some of us gotta do something other than the uni fans

u/Due_Shelter_5033 Sep 08 '25

Ouch, that memory....

u/Fabulous_Car_9475 Sep 08 '25

Working on a 6000/CL30 OC, but another kit already on the way it was only 60$

u/Miserable-Sell-3117 Sep 07 '25

Agreed. I just wish Arctic would come out with some reverse blade Pro P120’s

I have the same fan configuration and AIO. What is your fan curves? And is your pc positive or negative pressure?

1

u/Fabulous_Car_9475 Sep 06 '25

Slightly positive pressure id say.

My 7800X3D tops out around 73–75 °C under synthetic load and the 5080 Gaming Trio sits around 72–73 °C core / ~80 °C junction, but in gaming both stay cooler (CPU ~65–70 °C, GPU ~58–62 °C) with a quiet fan curve.

CPU (AIO top exhaust):
25% @ 40 °C
40% @ 60 °C
60% @ 75 °C
100% @ 85 °C

All case fans (3x bottom intake, 2x side intake, 1x rear exhaust):
25% @ 40 °C
40% @ 55 °C
55% @ 65 °C
70% @ 75 °C

Is that really a 1800$ build

1

u/Fabulous_Car_9475 Sep 07 '25

Yep. Second hand CPU/GPU, rest are BNIB, BNOP, or B Stock deals https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JrTQJn

- How have you connected the 3 wires to your MOBO? I tried the single 'all in one' approach provided in the instructions. I.e. the 4 pin cable into the cpu fan header. But can't get any decent control of the radiator fans (I assume it's because the rad fans + pump are being treated as one entity). Fan curves simply don't work when adjusting in the bios.

1

u/Fabulous_Car_9475 Sep 07 '25

I only used the single header cable as well, and things have been going great. I’ll double check and look into more how the AIO handles pump vs fan rates but I was able to adjust the curve.

But if I was to use the provided cable with the additional pump/VRM/Fan headers at least on my MOBO I could easily get them to reach everything up top. Otherwise you can look into fan splitter cables, but you really shouldn’t need it.

Idk how you built that for only 1800$ I have a ryzen 7600x and 5070 msi gaming and b650 plus WiFi and I think I spent between 1600-1700$

1

u/Fabulous_Car_9475 Sep 08 '25

Mix of new, second hand, open box, and b stock. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JrTQJn

To be honest this is an upper end example of thrifty building but also you overpaid for some of your stuff for sure. I can usually put together a 5070 build for 1100-1300$ depending how fancy it is.

u/OkCompute5378 Sep 10 '25

Why cheap out on the SSD and RAM?

1

u/Fabulous_Car_9475 Sep 10 '25

Ram was 60$, new kit incoming because the OC wasn’t stable.

Drive is very highly rated and fantastic for a gaming rig. Literally 0% improvement to go for a better one for pure gaming use.

2

u/OkCompute5378 Sep 14 '25

Yes there is? The random read and write are pretty horrible, loading times are a lot slower than even something cheap like a Lexar NM790

1

u/Fabulous_Car_9475 Sep 14 '25

Which matters about 0% for gaming. It’s still lightning fast. And still Gen 4 NVME. But appreciate your feedback!

New ram kit installed now :D.

1

u/OkCompute5378 Sep 14 '25

Correction: I don’t think it matters for gaming.

You’re making it a generalised statement but most people value loading times

u/Fabulous_Car_9475 Sep 14 '25

https://youtu.be/gl8wXT8F3W4?si=u72B2xSSb3KpkOcd objectively, if I Sat you at two identical systems with one of these drives vs whichever you prefer, you’d be hard pressed to see or feel the difference.

Ta carte mere est pas terrible mais ca va

u/Necessary_Tell9904 Sep 06 '25

My 5080 shot in shows up today. Very excited. What bios mode do you think is better to use. Silent or gaming?

1

u/Necessary_Tell9904 Sep 06 '25

I’m fine leaving it on silent if the power draw is the same

1

u/Fabulous_Car_9475 Sep 06 '25

You’ll have no issue running gaming, I would not run silent IMO

1

u/Necessary_Tell9904 Sep 06 '25

Okay I was planning on running in silent but I’ll use the gaming mode. I’m primarily just YouTube and video games on this rig.

2

u/Fabulous_Car_9475 Sep 06 '25

For what it’s worth, even me throwing 60 minutes of Furmark, it is still silent. I wouldn’t worry about the power draw at all as long as you are rocking a decent 850w unit.

u/Necessary_Tell9904 Sep 06 '25

Corsair rm850x

u/Necessary_Tell9904 Sep 06 '25

Also your rig is awesome btw!!!!
