Thanks to a post someone made over on r/nvidia, I managed to snag a 5080 Founders Edition during last week’s drop. After two days of staring out the window, FedEx finally pulled through.
I’m upgrading (using that term loosely) from an ASUS TUF 5070 Ti — which is now going into my wife’s build. So far, I’m really impressed with the performance bump at 4K.
Still not sure I’ve routed the Kraken Elite power cable in the most elegant way… open to tips there.
Core Specs:
• AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
• ASUS TUF Gaming B650-E WiFi
• NVIDIA RTX 5080 Founders Edition
• Corsair Vengeance DDR5 64GB (6K / CL30)
• SanDisk 2TB Black NVMe SSD
Case & Cooling:
• NZXT H5 Flow (2024)
• NZXT Kraken Elite 240 AIO
• NZXT Vertical GPU Mount Kit
• Lian Li Wireless 24-pin Strimer Cable
• NZXT F360 RGB Core Fan
• NZXT F120 RGB Core Fan
• NZXT 120 Duo RGB Fan

Hello LemonadeTrees, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!
To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!
Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

If you can please let me know if you’ve been having any issues with the 5080 FE. I recently got one sealed and it worked well until it started artifacting and boot looping after being on for a couple of minutes. I have 2 monitors so I was wondering how many you will use?
