About your questions. The minimum framerate at the beginning happens sometimes, but as long as you don't get these drops during the benchmark or games, nothing to worry about.
The GPU temp is high though. Nvidia cards will start to throttle somewhere between 60-70C, I think it's 15MHz for every 3 degree increase, and at some point in the high 80s the clock speed takes a nose dive to keep the temperature under control, so you are potentially losing a fair amount of performance. You could run a standardised test, for example in Superposition or 3D Mark Time Spy, to compare your score against other 2070 Supers. The custom benchmark you've done can't be compared.
I believe you should do something about the temperatures. AFAIK 89C is the maximum operating temp for the 20 series cards, and you're reaching 90 despite the fans going crazy. Either something is blocking the card's airflow, or there isn't enough air circulation in the case and the inside heats up a lot. Either reconsider the positioning of fans in the case, and undervolt the GPU to make it use less power. If done right, it will run cooler at the same fan speed and you will not lose performance (and seeing how hot it is, you might gain some).

I do suspect it might be the case hehe, pun not intended but I swear I do need all these hard drives! And yeah I'm considering adding a fan or two to the mix. I'm just not sure how much it'll help. And I'm sure the fact past few days were really hot doesn't help the situation either...

I remember watching this on Gamer Nexus so I guess It will help

Thanks Steve!
I'm am aware of that, however my issue lies at GPU temps not CPU. but thanks

Well, some degrees cooler will always help the GPU too.
Maybe the GPU needs new thermal paste and sometimes even thermal pads. It's a pain in the butt since everytime they get beefier.
You should also check your motherboard manual, sometimes they come with some of the weirdest functions.
Why not test the card with a game you play instead of a stress test? A demanding game.
Also, an intake fan for the side panel always helps, you lose around 3 to 4 degrees with airflow so It's something.

Play HoMM3 now! Or Mario Cart ðĪŠð mynew build is waiting for me to take it to some shop to diagnose as it's beyond my knowledge...but no time even for that now

Bump.
new PC's are always fun. I had to build a new one a few years ago when my motherboard died on me, I also just upgraded everything at the same time(other than case).
in the need for a pair of new monitors over here... DIablo 4 has proven to me my old 1080p monitors are starting to not cut it, game looks ugly on them... but when I plop it on the 4k TV its beautiful.

my that sounds like such a 1st world problem while I'm running over a decade old 1440x900p panels here ð

most definitely, I am not rushing replacing them though... they have gotten a solid 10 years so far and can prbly get another 10 out of them.
its just Diablo 4 so far that isn't looking great on them, even with the high res pack.

Hi!
Due to recent events I had to do some changes to my gaming rig and in the process of deliberate decision making i.e. I've had a few beers, it's a middle of the night and I've spent past few hoyrs browsing online shops and second hand marketplaces I've arrived at building a mostly brand new PC!
The long and short of it is I had to replace my mobo. Since keeping my old-ass socket CPU was pain in the male donkey I also went with a new one. The new CPU + mobo combo required new RAM I'm DDR5 now, baby!!!. And at the last minute I realised my PSU wouldn't handle the new board. I threw 1TB NVMe SSD to the mix just for the sake of it and now here I am. My wallet bleeds...
Anywho now it's your chances to partake in this frabjous day as I've prepared a little Ouroboros train just to hurt my sad wallet a little more! And there's a little extra Dredge for my ð
On top of that I'd like to ask y'all what'd you recommend I go ahead and blast on my new creation to fully enjoy all the glorious FPS I can achieve now? You don't have to limit your suggestions to my library, I might as well run my financial situation to the ground since I'm at it...
A second question concerns my performance. I haven't done much testing yet, but I did run Heaven a couple o' times results below and I have my concerns. 1. is the drop in min FPS of 11 in the first run something bad? 2. What about the termals? the CPU stays mostly under 70C but the GPU went right over 80 in both tests, spending most time around 85 with fans going all crazy and occasionally going almost to 90C with fans hitting I believe 100%. Is this expected bahaviour? NGL it's my first time with that class of hardware. I've built a bunch of PCs in the past but typically more low-end and or old systems. This is like the closest to "current-gen" as I've ever been. Is there any way to get those temps and fan speeds down?
man, making trains is so tedious...
If nothing went wrong train's lvl2+ running till the end of the month.
