Here's what I got!
ASUS Z390-A Prime (socket LGA 1511)
CPU i7 8700 -(I got it out of a brand new Pavillion and built around this unit.)
TT 100 single fan liquid cooling on CPU-never gets hot
GPU NVIDIA RTX 2080 8GB (I had a 3060 and got rid of that dog!)
Seems like it's always hot not too hot, just hot 67 celcius
RAM- Kingston Renegade-2X16 2666 DDR4 32GB (2400) XMP-2
(OC'ed to 3066 self-optimized to 16 18 18 36 from original 13 15 15 34?? something close to that)
PSU EVGA 750 Gold Full Modular
3 more case fans 120 mm
NVME Samsung 500GB SSD hard-drive
32 inch HP 1080 X 1920 Display
Hyper X KB006
Precision 1 GPU management software
Windows Home 64 bit Version-21H1
All in a NZXT Case with the side off and another fan blowing into my GPU area.
My favorite and main games are Mania Planet and TrackMania 2020 Racing games.
I'm not getting everything I think I should out of this rig right now.
I'm looking for the bottleneck if anyone has had close to this combination any advice I will heed.
My Hunch:
Benches marks read 120/98/104
So where is my bottleneck. Where is my power. I want my little car to go fast!
Thanks for your time looking at this!

My Hunch:
- The i7 8700 Intel CPU is not a K so I may be missing some boost because of this?
- Because it's a non-K the motherboard can't optimize the whole system with AI from the bios.
- The DPS on this CPU is only 65 watts instead of 95 watts and up HP putting the energy efficient stuff in the on shelve models
- FYI, the RTX 2080 8GB benches 38% faster than the RTX 3060 12GB but runs hotter. I was happy with the switch out!
- I'm thinking for my next change: The i5 9600K is said to be much faster than the
