actually the price was one of the main factors for me, if you take in to account all the pci lanes and features of the normal top of the line desktop boards and bios options to play + 5 slots for m.2 ftw
i just remember in the past i got a cable for my monitor in color red and i got black screen. so i use the one of the original. maybe check the cable and cables for powering the 2080ti. I use asus 2080ti and corsair AX1600i Digital ATX Power Supply
