Your very expensive and nice build is exactly why i refuse to get into 4k. I want over 100fps @ 144-165hz on a 1ms display.My build:
Intel Core i9 9900k O/C'd to 5.1GHz on all cores
EVGA RTX 2080 Ti XC Ultra O/C'd to 2070MHz (130% Power limit bios)
Asus RoG Maximus Hero XI
Samsung 970 Pro 1TB NVMe m.2 SSD
2x 500GB Samsung EVO 850 SSDs for storage
16GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance 3000MHz
EVGA 1000watt GQ PSU
Corsair Hydro H115i Platinum 280mm AIO Cooler
6x Corsair ML120 Pro 120mm RGB fans
Lian Li PC-011DW Arctic White
Blu-Ray player snuck into 2nd PSU housing.
The system is connected to a 65" TCL 4k TV. Games tested are: GTA V, Forza Horizon 4, Project Cars 2 (Thrustmaster TMX Pro), Star Wars Battlefront 2, Crysis 3, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice (aka the GPU cooker with 75C degree temps on the 2080ti) and Doom.
All games run pretty much maxed out with the exception of high-end anti-aliasing on some titles. 4k is still remarkably unforgiving. Mind you, this is all with overclocking, nvidia control panel tweaks favoring performance, no frames rendered ahead, etc. I'm sure once newer drivers come out things will improve slightly, but for the most part, solid-locked 60fps max setting is attainable. Tested game results: GTA V runs 60fps at 4k with everything (including PCSS shadows) maxed except MSAA; I use FXAA. Forza Horizon 4 60fps 4k HDR with everything maxed-out including 8x MSAA. Project Cars 2- 60fps 4k with everything maxed and mid tier AA. Battlefront 2- solid 60fps at 4k HDR everything maxed including DX12 and PCSS shadowing. Crysis 3 60fps solid at 4k with no AA on, but I literally cannot see any improvement with it on, it's one of those games with indiscernible AA on or off. Hellblade is the cooker; it runs the GPU at 75C but pumps out solid 60fps at 4k with HDR and everything maxed out. I have to remove the side glass panel to get it to drop to 62C as this game rides the GPU like a farm kid on an unassuming hog. The glass reflects heat and the card's cooling just dumps it's heat out the side. I am waiting for the EVGA liquid AIO cooler to drop as the GPU is the only real noise maker. Last game I tested was Doom; it runs 60fps with everything maxed out but it makes me absolutely motion sick beyond belief and I can't really play it much.
The case is configured following Gamer's Nexus guide on their best tested fan placement for this model; 3 intakes at the bottom, 3 at the side, and the AIO cooler at top exhausting with placement forward in the case as much as possible to avoid the GPU's waste. Temps are remarkably cool on the CPU with Hellblade, which I consider the stress tester game. Everything else runs extremely cool with nothing really going over 50C at heavy loads. Idle is always around 35C with fans on silent. I expect improvements with the GPU AIO. Overall the system is pretty silent. These ML120 fans are very quiet and are no joke. The RGB is ridiculous and everything is controlled by Corsair's iQue except for the mobo's RGB which is too dim and obscured to be noticed and the GPU RGB. Gaming is nuts on this setup. 60fps at 4k with maxed out settings on many titles is just a whole other level of existence. The next best thing and something I consider the next standard would be 120Hz and above. I used to play on a 1080p HDTV with it's built-in "120Hz" mode and it absolutely worked for gaming, but you need to feed it a solid 60FPS. All in all I'm quite pleased, this is indeed a treat.
