No, more than likely not. I have my cpu and 2 gpus on one 1300g2 and it is fine. I also have 2 gpus and all accessories on a second 1300g2 because they were cheaper than one 1000w psu when I bought my 1300's.

You don't need a heck of a lot of power with water.

You think I'll get away with 1500 or should i get two of them for a 3 way SLI? No L2 or anything just overclock it as much as my cooling will allow.

One will be fine for what you will be able to do.

Did you ask some of owners of 1600 Titanium model here how fan behave with multi GPU configuration.
I mean 1600W is closer to 2KW than 1500, and class is same, Titanium, single rail. Even sleeve is better if you want to pay extra for Cable set.

Yeah will probably just buy the 1600W from EVGA, at least it will match the cards. Still worried about the power draw but worst case scenario I will have to buy another one. 
But yeah you are right, I am pretty sure it has a zero rpm fan.

Look cool but I will not buy K|NGP|N version any more.
EVGA really know how to destroy someones enjoying in overclocking with binning process. 
It's easy to make nice results and enjoy when chips are good. 
I saw intentional sending and bad chips in KPE only because they somehow barely success
to work on fabric speed as last stable and in first moment and that was enough for me to notice how EVGA treat such class.
If someone done that with first such card, most premium and send there something what any other manufacturer
will separate as bad nobody could believe after that anymore that maybe once he get something similar.
For me personally is nice model above, with black/silver block, but transparent is very nice as well. Now cards are covered completely. 
That's good. Something like this I can say is perfect EKWB GPU block.  And previous are good, but something like this is perfect shape.
Special because it's not completely black and have silver part and because cover whole card and nice place for power connectors.

You've become a complete Negative Nancy on every forum you visit.
Have a cookie and cheer up already bro.

I am curious, how do water blocks work? How is the setup? I have no clue about water cooling. Recently, I have been gaining interest. How much did it mature in the last 5-10 years? How is this related to AIO setups? Sorry, I know this is a sidetrack but I am genuinely interested for the sake of my KPEs.

I personally love talking watercooling :-)

With air coolers, you are relying on the heatsink directly (without heatpipes) to transfer the heat away, like stock Intel cpu hestsinks..

The gas coolers, like on 99% of GPU's uses a liquid inside the heat pipes (I don't know the technical term for the liquid, sorry). Once it is heated into a gas, it basically circulates in the heat pipes and uses the fins to dissipate heat.. The gas can only transfer around the process so fast, so overtime it will hit a thermal limit.

Watercooling is infinitely expandable to the users needs and know limited to the imagination and creativity. It is expanding quickly now, because parts are mass produced by companies and readily available for purchase.

The Waterblock for a gpu, specifically the Kingpin for you, takes a path of water flow across the memory, hits a jet plate, then across the rest of the memory and vrm (I can not attach pictures for visuals currently).

The copper in the block transfers the heat across to the water, as you would guess, and then moves the water to a radiator. Most suggestions will tell you a 120mm radiator per item that is being cooled, plus 120mm spare radiator space. So, for 2 gpus in SLi and a cpu, you would want 480mm of radiator space at least.

If you have a very hot running cpu, like the 5960x, you will find that the more radiator space, the better.

With AIO 's for the most part, you can't expand your radiator space to accommodate more equipment.. There are a couple that definitely allow it. Some will also have air bubbles in them, since they can't get 100% out like you would in a self built loop. They are great when using them in a single component, like a gpu, but can be limiting with a cpu due the the wide variety of cpu's available and the chances of the cpu itself being extremely hot.

Was wondering will you have to purchase a new backplate to go with that or will the stock backplate work?
 
Thanks

EKWB shows on their website that the stock backplate will work. They do not mention if you will need longer screws or if it works right out of the box though.

Now need to decide weather to go with clear plastic or acetyl. What do you think is nicer? Clear plastic block safe to use?
 
Thanks

If you are going to use colored coolant, plexi looks nice.. If not, go Acetal. Acetal is stronger and much harder to damage, so it comes highly suggested for that reason alone.

Will go with Acetal. Thanks.
 

Anyone know where to go to get a good deal on a 980 Ti Kingpin?
 
I refuse to pay full retail. Seems overpriced to me.
 

EK 980Ti KPE

Yeah, use tester/multimeter

Hey, am interested in the Kingpin 980ti (its why im here!). Building an air based system at the moment, x99 and 5930.
 
Is the Kingpin available to buy at the moment? How long is the time to deliver? Im in the UK.
How loud are the fans on load? Comparable with what?
 
Copper heats up quick, and doesnt cool as quick as Alu - whats the advantage of the Kingpin over the Lightening and the Xtreme from Giga?
 
Cheers!
