Blackout Build - My First Ever PC

Hi everyone! This is my first ever PC build and I loved how the no RGB turned out. Ended up going with a 5080 and a 7600x3d, though I was debating between at 9800x3d and 5070ti. Maybe I'll upgrade down in the future...?

It was built in a rush (planned, bought, and built on the same day 😹) so the bottom fans unfortunately do not match the rest of the fans as they did not have enough in stock (the stickers are kinda bothering me to be honest). Really happy with how it turned out, just gotta upgrade the monitor next! Already a huge upgrade from my laptop though.

Let me know if you guys want any of the other specs!

Seemed like a good deal

This has been sitting at my Walmart for over a month. They marked it down again so finally decided to grab it. Seemed like a good deal.

5080 Astral Issues

Recently I started getting black screens and GPU fans going to 100% at random, idle or gaming doesn’t matter they just happen.

Today turned PC on and was greeted with this rude welcome.

Should I be looking at PSU or GPU?

Load balance has been near perfect and no sign of burns or anything like that and using a Corsair RM1000X PSU with Corsair 12V2X6 cable.

Need advice as i have an all white build

Do i get the amp extreme or solid oc (purely to match white them) evwn tho amp is free delivery and cheaper so total savings about £20 roughly

My new config 🤩

Hey everyone! Finally finished my build and wanted to share it with you 🤩

It's mainly for VR sim racing. Specs:

Ultra 7 265K

64GB DDR5 6400 CL32

1TB M.2

Gigabyte Z890 Eagle

Gigabyte 5080 Windforce OC SFF

Overclock:

Ultra 7 = P-core 5.5, E-core 4.9, ring 4.1

5080 = +390/2100

All of this is in a no-name Amazon case, fully cooled with Arctic P14 Pro fans. The AIO is an Arctic Freezer 3 420mm to keep the OC temps in check.

On average I'm sitting at 55/60°C CPU and 65°C GPU with reasonable noise levels.

Really happy with this build — it gives me perfectly smooth VR on AMS2 and pretty clean performance on Flight Simulator too 🤩.

Open to any suggestions! 🫶🏻

New RTX 5080 won't boot - no signal

Hello everyone

Just bought a new GPU, a Zotac RTX 5080 Solid OC, but can't get it to boot with signal on screen.

Have used DDU to clean all drivers, and here is my specs and what I have tried so far. Would welcome any help with appreciation.

🧾 Summary – RTX 5080 No Signal / VGA LED Issue

🖥️ Hardware

Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix X570-E Gaming

CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X

RAM: 32 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4

PSU: Corsair RM1000e (with dedicated 12V-2x6 / 600W GPU cable)

GPU 1 (working): RTX 3080 Ti

GPU 2 (problem): Zotac RTX 5080 Solid OC

⚠️ Main Symptom

5080 produces no POST display output

Motherboard stops at VGA LED (white indicator)

Monitor behavior:

Detects signal input (DisplayPort/HDMI active)

Then shows “No signal”

System remains stable (no reboot loop or instability)

GPU fans spin at startup

GPU 12VHPWR LED is green (power/connector OK)

🔧 Troubleshooting Performed

✔ Power & cabling

PSU confirmed stable (RM1000e)

Dedicated 12V-2x6 cable used

GPU power LED shows green (connection OK)

No signs of power delivery failure

✔ Display & signal

Tested HDMI and DisplayPort

Tested multiple screens (monitor + TV)

Cables and displays work with other GPU

✔ GPU testing

RTX 3080 Ti works perfectly in the same system

RTX 5080:

Installed and reinstalled multiple times

Reseated multiple times

Power cables rechecked and swapped between tests

✔ BIOS / motherboard

BIOS updated to latest stable version

VGA LED consistently triggered only by 5080

CSM / UEFI settings not yet fully tested (planned, last solution?)

PCIe Gen3 forced mode not yet tested (planned, last solution?)

✔ Physical checks

Multiple GPU reseats performed

Power cables reconnected multiple times

Slot contact considered OK since 3080 works reliably

📊 Observations

GPU receives power (fans + green LED)

GPU never completes video output initialization

System consistently stops at VGA stage in POST

No instability or reboot behavior

Entire system works normally with previous GPU

Finally in this generation!

Got the PNY OC. Along with an LG 32" 4k 240hz WOLED.

Was previously on a 1070 8gb on 1440p.

My gosh it's unreal the difference!

Resident Evil Requiem help with 5080

Edit: this is at 1440p not 4k and still only getting 45fps.

Ryzen 9800x3d

Rtx5080

32gb ddr5 cl32 ram.

Bios, gpu drivers, and windows all up to date. But only getting around 45fps with max settings and path tracing on. When watching videos online to compare i should be getting around 100fps. I verified i am using the dedicated gpu and not the I gpu. Whats the next steps to take? Gpu is around 60c so its not over heating or nothing like that.

A(lien)SUS PRIME 5080 OC

Even though it’s an SFF card, in my opinion, it really fits the Alien aesthetic well.

4K OLED + RTX 5080 owners, what DLSS setting are you actually using?

Curious what everyone is running.

- DLAA

- Quality

- Balanced

- Performance

I've been sticking with Quality since it seems like the sweet spot for image quality and FPS. But now I'm starting to wonder if I'm just placebo'ing myself into thinking it looks much better than Balanced, or if there's actually a noticeable difference at 4K.

Performance is the only one that really stands out to me. I feel like I notice more pop-ins occurring more.

What do you all usually run, and why?

Gigabyte Windforce SFF

OC on 5080

+300 core +2000 memory

Finally got my 5080 installed, this card has really impressed me. Decent overclock lead to 67C peak at 388W, fans were super quiet. Main thing I was worried about was coil whine but I have zero!!! Definitely an impressive card for being a “cheap 5080”.

For reference my stock score was 8034 at 59C

Daily driver UV and OC is set to .950 at 3000 core +2000 memory, 62C peak at 346W and it scored 8487. Extremely stable in games so I will keep my undervolt where it’s at 💪🏻

UPDATE-
I followed your suggestions and reinstalled drivers along with other stuff and my scores are much better.

Stock: 8430 at 62C
.975 @3000 + 2000: 8946 at 62C
+350 + 2000: 9267 at 66C

New daily driver is .950 @3000 + 2000 memory: 9015 score at 62C pulling 344W

I have a M-ATX build so ventilation is good not great . Thank you all for your suggestions she’s running way better now 🔥
