At least if you register your card with EVGA in the first 30 days of purchase you get a 3 year warranty on the card if it fails in that time period

Wouldn't flashing the bios void the warranty though?

No. The kingpin comes with three vbioses, and as long as one of them remains unmodified your warranty will still be intact.

is it possible to brick your gpu from messing up the vbios update?
 
I'm moving from air to watercooling the kingpin, and want to ensure I get the most out of the card, without messing it up....

it looks sexy, but the higher fan speeds means louder card :(  noise + cost/value make it a no go for me.  
12mhz is with no bios update. I can't justify the difference :(

Would like to give you a Ribbon for it if I could! I think it's well deserved also for the courage to post some sensitive information publicly as an EVGA mod when you consider that the downloadlink for the bios got removed even from small kingpin forum previously. So this is a great opportunity for those who want their Kingpin to be what it's supposed to: A beast! I couldn't have achieved my scores without that bios. And flashing is super easy and safe procedure. You only have to disable your card in device manager before the flash, then re-enable, reboot, done.
 
On a side note, I would personally not recommend the bios on air cooling from my experience. Simple reason it allows the card  to draw more current, thus the chip gets hotter in situations that are on the edge in a benchmark run. Because the pascal architecture is so incredible temp sensitive it might fail a benchmark at a given frequency that would otherwise passed with the lower power target of the regular OC bios. That was my experience at least, I could take it a notch higher therefore score higher with the regular OC bios. So I take a small dip in frequency for a split second (it won't even show up in most monitoring tools but frequencies are always fluctuating) over a failed pass. Superposition is actually the best software I found that shows frequency fluctuation. And even on the 150% bios it does fluctuate in 8k superposition, ergo I would say power target reached (or at least a hiden power limit like the 117% from the FTW).
 
On water though it's a different story, temps are not so much an issue anymore, heat gets transfered away much quicker. There the Extreme Watercooling bios is highly recommended.

Does this work for a FTW3 card?

Nope.

Can this only be done with MSI AB?
Been testing but cannot get it to work the same way using PXOC.
Talking about my KP Cards here, not the FTW3

The setting showing under 4.3.0 in the image.
I was thinking of getting a 1080 Ti Kingpin + X299 MB Combo being that they are in stock and tying your way to overclock.
I still want to break your Graphics Score....

One is the 100mV I can only get to 92
 

Thanks I will go back to 4.3.0

Thanks Sajin! This bios goes up to something 139% TDP in peaks. 

Hey, found this:
 
https://xdevs.com/doc/_PC_HW/EVGA/KPE180/bios/
 
There you could download 2 bios files.. Interesting which are they....
 
The Watercooling Extreme bios is 6798X390.rom
The other two are:
6798K390.rom
6798V390.rom

At work atm, but these were the best clocks I've hit so far. I'll be aiming for 2550ish this saturday.

Which Bios is this.  I have 86.02.39.41.90 for kingpin. Stock bios got it thanks.

Hi, I bought the card few days ago and want to test it with extreme cooling. Is there any BIOS with disabled power limit?

There is, but you'd have to have one written specifically for you so you'd have to know the right people.

Read this Thread from the Beginning and you will find where to get the Bios you are looking for.
