@Bearchoyboi u ever figure it out?
ping or call me if u still need help
anyone wanna play a game of DEFCON with me?

still not working
i took out the bios battery for 5 mins and put it back in
replaced the gpu
the motherboard may have fried from something
If it’s new they’ll usually replace it
and you're sure that all of the front panel connectors are connected to the right pins?
and even if you are sure, disconnect them all, find the front power button connector and connect it to the correct pins, only that connector
What are you fellow Runescape players doing?
i fixed it
the motherboard fried because i forgot to ground my static by touching the case so i got it replaced it
@MalcolmReynolds do you need water cooling if you sli 2 gtx 1070s
yes
blocks for 1070s are a waste of money though
No
If you have a typical ATX or e-ATX mobo, the top two pcie x16 slots should be at least 1 more slot apart than the bottom 2 on a 3-4 x16 lane mobo. Therefore having an acx style cooler is fine.
I have a GTX 1070 Sea Hawk X watercooled aio which stays incredibly cool under full load artificially, but it isn't necessary to have to keep the card that cold, if you max out at under 70C under full load for like 5 mins which is pretty unrealistic scenario, then you're way ahead good temps. Even resting just under 80C at that kind of load is acceptable. Over 80 and you're pushing it, but it still doesn't have much of an effect on the card. My GTX 760's (SLI) with reference blower coolers would max at about 84C under load brand new, and they had no issues the whole time, and still overclock well relative to better cooked versions of the same card. So there is honestly nothing to worry about. Also when it comes to GPU boost and overclocking the 1070, for a typical and stable OC on a well-cooled reference PCB, use about +100 core and no more than +250mem (100-200 is more practical since mem isn't as detrimental for gaming as core). Don't try and squeeze performance because the Pascal GPU lineup isn't really meant for it.
Also it isn't worth SLI for 2x 1070's unless you're upgrading from the first. But either way the best thing to do is get the single fastest card since Nvidia no longer pays for games to have SLI support, and the optimization for it is ass (especially from experience)...
If you haven't bought any cards yet, get the 1080Ti or wait for the Volta cards.
I know what I'm talking about, I have experience on pretty much any end.
Yea he’s right u don’t need it unless ur case is a baby
Buy a 1080 bundle on massdrop or something
Prices aren’t complete ass
just because you can run the cards at 80c with the fans on max doesnt mean its optimal
and single cards arent gonna run games maxed out in 4k or 144hz+
even the fastest cards on the market
@Bearchoyboi there should be no reason to water cool those 1070s unless you are hardcore clocking them for mining. running them at 75c will not hurt them.
and the king of autism is right about 4k - even a 1080ti will struggle with it
two 1080tis could handle it tho
75c wont hurt them but that increases heat for the whole system
heat and noise are a big problemo
sli in particular
Here's the thing. Playing max on 4K at a higher refresh rate than 60fps is something not worth striving for until after Volta imo. The best thing you can do is run a 1440p (2K) monitor with 120hz+ and Gsync. My monitor (Acer XB271HU) is 2K 165Hz IPS Gsync @27" and once you go to the higher refreshrate (especially with Gsync, it's pretty detrimental), you'll never want to go back and 4K wouldnt likely be as enjoyable. Also considering you can run 2K at higher than 60fps average very comfortably with one 1070 alone, so with a 1080Ti or newer Volta card it'll be a while before you need an upgrade. That's the best route imo and from other people I've discussed this with. Also an ACX 2.0/3.0 cooler card nowadays won't likely run the fan at more than 60% under high loads and will still keep the card under 75C no biggie. As long as you have intake fans in the front and outs on the top/back (or cooler on back), then you should get most of that excess heat trapped in the case out. 1070 SLI again, is less practical than the 1080Ti standalone and will also cost more for less performance on most games and lack of SLI optimization on many. If the game isn't optimized for SLI, you can only use 1 card.
