Hey Chef!
I have a problem that bothers me a bit with my Hak, so I thought you might be able to give an advice...
I have the same built, except I swapped 1070 to 1080ti.
The problem is that my computer behaves weird when it sleeps.
Here is the problem:
Computer goes to sleep without any problems, it wakes up perfectly. However after a long period time like overnight or 6-8 hours I usually find my Hak is ON but the screen is OFF. Fans are spinning, GPUs LEDs are on, it is slightly warm (the case glass) but it doesn't wakes up. No reaction on keyboard, apple mouse, wired mouse, power button - nothing at all...
The only way is to turn off PSU or hold power button long enough to shut if off.
I literally don't know what to do
It started pretty recently, might be after I switched GPU but I doubt it. Another possible reason might be a latest security update that I accidentally installed and almost killed the system (but was able to log in and fix all the issues). I pretty positive that this problem came up way after both GLU swap and update, so I kinda doubt that all these related.
Well, it could very well be your new GPU.....but I would suggest you become familiar with pmset. In terminal, if you execute pmset -g, it will tell you what your power settings are. You might have one that is a problem. To change a setting, you must execute sudo pmset -<setting> <number>. Just Google "pmset macos" (without the quotes).

Good luck!
