GPU 2383 MHz Overclock task! HELP

[joao]

I'm level 22. Help me solve this task please =(

Task objectives:

11231 points on 3D Mark
Water Cooled GPU
Overclock to 2383 MHz

Budget $3,750

it is possible as some of the watercooled gpu's will do 2400mhz but that is so close to it that it may take quite a few attempts to find a card that will do that speed and those that do should also give you the score you need in 3d mark. if you are unsure of getting the clock speed you dont have to accept the job. if you have the load a save from just before you accepted it and reject. TBH with this game it is best to do a manual save before accepting the days jobs that way you can always try them and then re load and reject. i personally believe it should be a pinned tip at top of page to manually save often. i do one before accepting jobs and another before hitting complete

I already solved this, here is the solution:

Case: CORSAIR 1000D ($500)
Mobo: TUF Z370-PRO GAMING ($155)
CPU: i5-9600K ($300)
CPU Block: Alphacool Eisblock XPX ($70)
GPU: 2x* GTX 1070 Ti EKWB EK-FC Acetal ($1520)
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 1050 GS ($180)
RAM: T-Force DARK 8 GB 2400 MHz ($70)
Storage: GIGABYTE M.2 PCIe SSD 128GB ($30)
Radiators: 2x* EKWB EK-CoolStream SE 360 ($600)
Reservoir: EKWB EK-XRES 100 Revo D5 ($220)
Case Fans: 2x* ML120, 3x* ARCTIC BioniX F140 ($92)

What change in GPU Tunner:
120% voltage
2383 Core Clock

($3737 (Budget: $3750)) All products are new.

Just so you are aware for the future: Just because the video card in this job for this customer in this one example was able to reach 2383 Mhz DOES NOT mean that any other video card (Even if it is the exact same model name as the one you had for this job) could also reach 2383 Mhz again. This game issues a random number/seed to each video card and CPU in the game that determines at random how far a component can overclock. It is entirely possible that a customer could ask you to overclock their parts to XXXX Mhz and the parts they have can't even OC that far/high (impossible to complete job).

Very good choice. These 1070 Ti's offer the best OC potential from all watercooled GPUs in game. Out of curiosity why did you put CPU into the loop?

I didn't understand the question, sorry

They are asking you why you included the CPU in the same custom water loop as the one you used for the video card(s).

I made a simple water loop that I knew with 1 reservoir 2 radiators and the cpu block. I did not learn much yet about advanced custom water loops =( how could i have done?

[spanki2]

That's ok but I see no reason to watercool the CPU here, that's why I asked what was your reasoning. The job objective was to watercool only GPU. By including CPU in the loop you made the whole loop warmer and you limited the OC potential of your GPU.

If you loop in the CPU water block in with the video card water block then that will make the video card artificially run hotter than it would. You could run the video card water cooled and use one of the passive heatsinks on the CPU and then you would have the entire cooling capacity of the water loop dedicated to the GPU only, which would then give you a lot more headroom for overclocking the video card.

Most (All except for 1) computer cases in this game do not allow us to connect a "normal" heatsink for the CPU (The ones that use a fan) if we are also using a water loop. So most people newer to the game or those that may not know much about how the game functions may be "stuck" and unable to figure out how to cool the CPU without water while also water cooling the video card. Not everyone understands that there are passive cpu heatsinks or how the cooling in this game works.
