computer is a monster now
everything booted right up and worked right away
ram using the XMP profile is running at 3200 speed, 16-18-18-38 1.35v, totally stable
was able to OC to 5ghz using the asus stored 5ghz profile, totally stable. may have hit the silicon lottery ordering from amazon. temps during stress testing don't exceed 79c
WD black seems to be a great media storage drive, very fast, runs cool at 30C
1080ti is a monster, have not tried to push past stock clocks, which are still higher than FE cards. maxes at 57c under load
asus maxmius ix hero seems to be a great mobo.
samsung m.2 nvme 500gb evo drive is incredible for speed.
