Plenty of expansion gap, 10-20mm the whole way around. probably cant tell from the vid, but the floor sits under the plastered wall, which had a lot off space the whole way round, I made sure of that. Floor has been down for years now, no issues with expansion and contraction at all.

So true!! They are not dogs, not human...somewhere on their own stratosphere. They are such funny creatures.

@@erika8627 - yes they are! My two little fluff sausages used to make me laugh until I peed myself at times. The breed as a whole just seem to possess a humorous personality. They KNOW they're funny. And once they learn what makes you laugh that becomes their entire life ambition. Then there's the things they aren't even aware of. Bullys are just such great animals! I miss my sweet Punkin' and Bruiser doozer every day. It's been 9 and 11 yrs respectively since they passed but it seems like yesterday. Worst 2 days of my life. I can't wait to see them again though. There's gonna be a BIG party!

The thick plastic sheeting at Wickes is what I used if that helps, at the time it was about £6-7 a pack. Who knows what it costs today with all the price rises, but shouldnt be a lot more. Don't use thin cheap stuff, but the wickes one is tough and durable and does the job no problem, so long as the floors are good and there arent any damp issues already. It's just to stop any moisture the concrete floor transfers up, to the underlay and boards. I laid it so it ran up the edges and walls a few inches, then trimmed it off once the floor was fully laid. This should stop any creeping moisture from the edges, in. As long as the plastic sheeting is rot proof, it should be ok. This is just my experience and opinion however.

xtreme has more capability of OC!

what about memory temp ?

I would go with at least the minimum recommended PSU and a good brand one at that. The Xtreme has 3 power connectors, I believe these Master and Xtreme are the most OC out the box. Though out the box they need some tweaking. Also check the BIOS switch on the card, probably set to Boost OC. I put mine in "Quiet mode" as it was max clock speed constantly and 100% fans otherwise, therefore hot, loud and consuming too much power at idle unncessarily. I also use Afterburner and Riva Statistics Tuner Server. Afterburner allowed me to set and manage the fan power curve better than the Gigabyte software. If it was me, I wouldnt attempt to run this card on a 750W PSU...

@@vktechtv4244 thank you buddy

This one has a power draw of 450w compared to the other 3080tis with only 350 to 370w that’s why the 850 is recommended

Yeah went with Asus Rog Thor 850w cheers guys

This 3080 Ti has two physical settings on the card itself. Out the box, it comes hard set in overclock mode, 1830Mhz is the base speed. it then boosted to 2300+ on initial tests, which is insane. Thats when I was getting all sorts of stutters and fps drops. Its also why the fans ran max speed (though thats also just rubbish Gigabyte drivers sitting on top of the NVidia drivers) and why the card was hittin 83-85c in initial tests. It should come out the box on the non hard OC setting. Once I set that, it mellowed the card out. Its sites at 210mhz idle now and 30-31c. However, it still runs hot in gaming, 76-79c once its warmed up, tending to sit at 77-78 with the odd peak at 79. And I've set custome fan curves too, tried many to get it running as cool and best I can. fps is now good to very good at 1600P (my monitor is 16:10) or when DSR to 2263P so a notch up from 2160P, as its a 16:10 monitor. At 1600P I get really good FPS and yes now noticably improved over the 2080 Super, which is no slouch. But... is the 3080 Ti worth the money... I think I'll do another vid on that in the next few days.

Hello. Bracket I ordered on Amazon, searching for GPU support bracket. The UpHere one looked adequate and is. But check which you are getting, some are not as thick/deep looking and probably only ok for smaller cards. This one is deeper and a bit more robust, but isnt 100% solid, though it should take the weight off the end of the card with no support. You'll also need to work out where to mount the support against the GPU card, so it doesnt foul any of the fans or parts of the card it shouldnt. Though it has plenty of adjustment. I think it was £8.99 delivered and arrived quickly.

@@vktechtv4244 Thank you for replying!

Welp after just doing this myself I can tell you this didn't work because it just crashes if you use the 2 pin connectors

I'm having an issue with my 3080ti not displaying at all could you share your Bios settings? Also squad is the game of choice

Did you get it to work ? If so what was the issue?

All been good, used this method throughout the whole of my downstairs. Beedn down a few years now, no issues at all.

See and read the explanation in the video description. Hope this helps. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z7-ihJyIs6rXlJ8.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aq1_h9qild_InZ8.html
