Configuration

Hi, I was just wondering if this config will be able to play games on 4k with good fps because I am thinking of buying a 4k monitor. Also, the cooling CPU + GPU, is that like a waterblock on the gpu? Thanks this is my first gaming computer.

I just emailed them about that thank you for the help. Also should i oc my gpu ?

So i should stay away from OCing anything at all?

I might just leave it at 4.5 ghz. Would my set up be able to tin 4k resolution with no problem?

The difference between an overclock of 4.5 and 5.0 wouldn't make a big difference so staying at 4.5 would be good to go.     

Your 1080 Ti will do a good job rendering a 4 K display.

Also with the water cooling what should my minumum temp and safest temp i could go while underload? I am from hawaii and my room gets a bit hot maybe around 60 to 65 degrees.

Always use Celsius when talking temps.  Just makes life easier and less confusing.  We're all about less confusion.  

I would think for a minimum, -273C, absolute zero, would be a problem.    DS used to have a Cryo-Tec cpu cooling, thermo-electric cold plates, that could keep the cpu below 0 degrees C.  Frost could build up.  Just fun facts from the past. 

Snaike is right, who cares about min, the max should be 80'sC or less.  With full water, the Hydro Pro, you'll probably stay in the 60's, but every rig is different.

Your Asus motherboard comes with AI Suite and other software that allows for fan control, overclocking, Sonic radar for gaming, LED on the mobo control, etc.  It does a good job. 

There's also SpeedFan, Bios...the list goes on.  A quick Google will pull some up.

Nothing installed when you get it will compensate for their thermal control, since they mount small thermal probes at various points inside the case for monitoring air temps.

  You could get a separate fan/thermal control device like Areocool, etc that mount in one of your 5.25" bays.  It allows fans to be plugged in for control and has thermal probes to mount inside the case.   But, who cares about air temps at various locals inside the case.  If the cpu and gpu are running within a good thermal window then that's really all that matters.  It is good for looks and fun I guess to monitor and watch, but no real purpose. 

I would think that once the fans are setup up most will not adjust or monitor them much after the novelty wears off.  But that's me.  I would rather spend the time gaming.
