Does anyone have a PDF of the manual for this card?

Hey there, I looked around a bit and while there isn't an official 3090 K|NGP|N manual, I'm guessing the installation is similar to other 3080/3090 Hybrid models, and here is the manual for those: https://www.evga.com/supp...les/400-HY-1988-B1.pdf

Thanks for your help. I couldn't find it myself so I appreciate you looking also. Unfortunately this doesn't help me though since my goal is to reverse the fans on the AIO that comes with it so that I can mount it on the front panel of my case and have it pull air through the radiator (as I've already got an AIO for my CPU mounted on top pushing out). I can't imagine it'd be any more complicated than unscrewing the fans and flipping them but thought I should check the manual just in case.

Yes, all you have to do is unscrew them and flip them.  Nothing else to it.

That's good to know, I'll be replacing them with 6 Corsair LL120's in push/pull too.

I just want to buy one of the kingpin cards with the waterblock. But the evga website is such a joke. Everything is out of stock like a ghost town. Actually looks like they are going out of business or something.
If they are the manufacturer, looks like they would have it before everyone else. Or are they selling all their stock to miners only. It’s not like games push the market for faster tech like miners do. Right? Hint hint nudge nudge.

What do you think will have a better performance?
 
The Hydro Copper Block from EVGA or the upcoming Block from Optimus?

The one I can purchase to put on my card ;)

If the Optimus block for the Kingpin follows the FTW3 Optimus design, the Optimus block will clearly be better by Design:

This picture, while being the peak of my photoshop abilities, might be the worse description why:


The EVGA Block is simple in, over fins, out.
The Optimus drops the water into the middle of the fins, and splits in both directions. This reduces the distance water must be pushed through the fins, while doubling the amount of lanes it can travel through. That might not be the best or correct description, but you can see the gist of what I"m trying to say. Then to top it off, you can see that the area that the water flows over the block, compared to the evga block, is far more. 
 
Nicer CPU/GPU blocks follow the design Optimus uses.
Hope that helps, o.O
 
To further embaress myself through photoshop skills,
EVGA is the Top, Optimus is the bottom in terms of flow:

Not to nitpick but your arrows are backwards on the Kingpin block. :-P  It's supposed to flow left-to-right, the "arrows" in the block are to to make sure dead-pockets don't occur in the liquid flow.
 
I will be utterly shocked if the Optimus block doesn't perform significantly better than the KP HC block, simply because of fin density etc, let alone it's flow setup.

Did they drop at 12est today? Said elite members had a chance then but I saw nothing LOL

Same, I would be glad if it allowed for us to queue up before the rest dogpile on that list.

Still trying to find an answer to this but people who are using the HC block, what backplate are ya'll using? The stock one from the AIO?

The HC Block is designed to reuse the stock backplate, yes.  I'm using my 'modded' stock backplate that has heatsinks pasted to it, with upgraded thermal pads between the GPU's parts & the backplate.

what i can say is this,

Are these the best binned dies for EVGA's inventory? Or is the binning done by Samsung? Is there an article or something explaining the hierarchy of binned NVIDIA dies?

yeah no comment there bro 

im under NDA about it sorry!

if you want the best GPU you can get the all things considered by a KP and never look back. If you want to worry about binning, in 2021.. well good luck!

The way it was explained by Vince (AKA Kingpin) during a livestream with GN I believe, was that out of all the GPU dies they have that qualify to become 3090 FTWs, about 1 out of every 10 make the cut if that, they test it to make sure it can hit at least 2100MHz STABLE at stock voltage and meet other 'qualifications' for being added to a Kingpin, and if it passes that then it's chosen to be one.
 
So called it "binned" is a stretch, but it is a very select number of dies that make it to being able to be put in a Kingpin card. 
 
To answer the first part, it's just out of eVGA's warranty, Samsung/NVidia would have no reason to let eVGA do this at the factory where they're made.  Keep in mind, Asus, Galax & other AIBs have their high end cards as well that have pretty select dies.

I'm not worried about binning to inform my purchase; I was just curious about the process but ofcourse I totally understand why this process would be kept hush-hush. And I agree pretty much everything top score on 3DMark is a Kingpin at this point I think

It's like 60% Kingpin, 30% Galax Hall of Fame cards, and probably 10% Asus' high end card with an unlocked BIOS - if I had to guess.  I haven't looked to confirm it.
 
Edit: And worth nothing, I say 30% Galax partly because the same 2 HOF cards were passed around to several different LN2 overclockers - to me that doesn't count as different GPUs on the leaderboard... the Kingpins are almost exclusively different LN2 OCers using different Kingpin cards each.

Hey guys, sorry if this is the wrong location to post this but I really can't find an answer anywhere...
Does anyone know how to disable the OLED screen on the 3090 KINGPIN? I want both the LED and OLED off. I can only turn off the LEDs but not the OLED in PX1. Is it a jumper switch? I would rather not dismantle my kingpin just to unplug the cable.

+1
i need too off oled screen

Does anyone know what kind of connector EVGA uses for the kingpin OLED screen? I need a find an extension for it.

I am willing to make it myself as long as I know the connector type. I want to mount the screen on top of the block so my tubing doesn't obstruct it.

@enewt   i noticed on the sheet that the queue is up to 5/6 but I still show no notification for my request on:

Any idea why I might have been passed up?
