I mostly play COD MW MP. I am seeing up to 220fps max settings, minus RT. Temps hover around 50C while gaming. I just passed into the top %0! Game on!
Video of the set up and some gameplay/stats.

That's YOUR artwork?! Man that's a really nice portrait. You have some really nice talent!

I have one of Chalk pastel somewhere round here, think I was in 8th grade when I did it. It's from one of his album covers "The Ultimate Experience".

Checked power usage at the wall. It idles at around 120w and peaks at 708w when gaming (playing COD). Surprising since I know the gpu is pulling 400w at times and the cpu can pull 250w.

Are the Intel 900p SSD's SATA devices? Are they new? I had thought the entire optane line had been discontinued?

They are U.2 server style drives and one pcie drive. They have been discontinued... :( but if you can find em, which you still can, they are the fastest drives for OS and caching. Mine benches 4400 in Futuremark Disk test, in the top range. They may not be sequential beasts like the newest drives, but they are faster where it counts and thats many small reads/writes.
