There seem to be a lot of reports of failing nvidia 2080Ti cards.
Are these issues now resolved? Do they affect the cards used by PCS to build systems?
Some of the reported failures are still fairly recent.

so the quiet fans are the "H115i Pro Cooler w/ PCS Ultra Quiet Fans" ?
or do yo mean I should configure the H115i Pro and then after market buy Noctua fans and put them on instead?
I googled "PCS Ultra Quiet Fans" and couldn't find any such brand.
Also - I'm surprised the H115i has a better...
For a data crunching workstation (i9 9900X, RTX 2080Ti, 128GB RAM) in a Fractal Design R6 black case .. I am trying to choose between the Corsair H115i Pro and the H150i Pro coolers.
In theory the bigger one with larger overall radius H150i should be quieter and have better cooling.
However -...
I previously posted an i9 9900X with 2080Ti GPU spec ( link ).
How well will it work with linux?
I don't mean whether linux will boot up, but rather questions like:
- does the Corsair 115/150 AIO cooler need Windows drivers? what happens on stock linux? does it self-regulate?
- case fans? GPU...
last question - of the many options available on the configurator for CPU cooling, which one is appropriate for this build?
I've chosen the most expensive here but my priorities are:
- keeping the temperature down to avoid throttling and increasing lifetime of components
- reliability, I...
I previously discussed a spec and got useful advice.

These desktops are pretty large and I haven't really got space to put it under or on top of my desk.
I would like to run it under my bed...
Thanks for the info and suggestions.
If I could continue on a few the points..
* thans for clarifying that PCS test the memory speeds before shipping. Does that also include checking the RAM is running in quad-channel mode. So not just the speed of individual banks but that the full RAM is...
questions got cut off so here they are:

Some questions:
Are the CPU water coolers less reliable than air coolers?
Are the CPU water cooler noise? Even if quieter - is the noise more disruptive? (clicks? pops?)
Does the case make a difference? Is the Fractal Define R6 case the quietest...
also the Python numeric libraries are optimised for Intel sadly as Threadripper would have been good option - benchmarks show really poor performance for Python on Threadripper.
I'm looking to get a machine for doing scientific computing (Python number crunching), including GPU accelerated machine learning.
I want the machine to last 5+ years so some future proofing is good.
Sadly there isn't much choice regarding ATI vs NVIDIA - CUDA is pretty much the only option...
