Wish we could get 980 Ti KPE's here in Australia, I would cancel my Hybrid orders for 2 KPEs in a heart beat

they dont bin chips before their on the board, asic is a measurement of pcb efficiency as well.
 
vince himself stated that he'd love to get purely binned chips, but it's not viable, so no It doesnt detract from classies or other models " potential "for high asic / high clocking cards in actuality. 
 
get what card fits your budget, all the 980 ti's are very capable cards. 

I want to know too, I will try get one or two and use ship forwarding to get it from the states to Australia.

Where do I get the GTX 980ti Kingpin in the UK

What's up with the EVGA AU website? I looked on the GTX 980 Ti products page and to my surprise the Kingpin was listed there. I clicked the 'notify me' link but it gives an error:
 
http://au.evga.com/products/notify.asp?pn=06G-P4-5998-KR
 
Can anyone explain this please, why list it in the AU site if they won't sell to us?

Do we have kpe980ti bios upload anyway?
Would like to look at what are the voltage settings. 

I received my EVGA GTX 980 Ti Kingpin today but the fans are defective and don't spin. I know that the fans should not spin under 60 degrees. But they don't even spin at 80 degrees!

Make sure the fan cable is seated properly into the PCB. You may be able to see it without taking the card apart, but if you take your time with it (and avoid damaging the card) you can possibly forego a RMA by removing the cooler and making sure the cable is secured (If you do so, make sure you have some TIM laying around!). Otherwise that sucks the fans do not spin :/

try changing the fan profile in the latest version of precision X

Looks like the Price Gougers are Alive and Well (Unfortunately).

A fool and his money are soon parted. If people are willing to pay it others will continue to do it.  I can't really see how $500 is worth having something 1-2 months earlier. It's like people REALLY need boost in performance.

Can you try to load up EVGA PrecisionX and set default?

No...... be on it when you get notified or the loss is yers.

^This literally.
 
My first notification I received via email was about EU EVGA Stock for the 72% ASIC was available to buy last Friday the 24th at 7:00 pm driving back home from work.  I was on the M4 driving at the time I received the email, manage to stop for a bit took about 5 minutes, by the time I logged in and all, it was back to "notify me" again. Too late too slow, bye!
 
I pressed notify again.
 
Second time I got another notification, This week Monday 8:41 am in the morning. This time it was for 2 type of cards, was about EU EVGA Stock for the 72% ASIC and 74% ASIC was available for purchase (2 separate emails). The time I received it I was in the toilet doing the No. 02. LOL. I read it at about 8:50 and both 72% and 74% sold out. And back to notify me again.
 
They have yet to release the 7%6 and 80% one's in the EU EVGA website though. But I won't even try buy those. I am at maximum 72-74%.
 
And then there are the people selling them highly overprice on popular websites :P.
