I just checked the que list and it looks like im about 35 ish cards away from mine!! I am looking for the real ln2 bios, I'm in the process of getting my actual ln2 bench setup up and ready for the card the moment it arrives. Would like to have the vbios ready to throw onto the card, so could anyone point me in the right direction?

You mean the xoc bios ?

Hi Don't suppose anyone could you give me the boxed shipping weight please? 
 
Many thanks

Hey all,
 
I am on the list for the EVGA hybrid versions of the 3080, 3090, and 3090 Kingpin cards.  I assume the Kingpin version will be the first one available to me so I am trying to plan ahead.  I have a few questions I was hoping for feedback on.  My PC component/specs are in my sig.  

PC usage:
I mainly game with a few benchmark tests here and there to test stability of any OCs.  I do drive 3 monitors, main one for gaming, with one for chat/disc, other for any web browsing needs.
 
Question 1: Power
Will my PSU be powerful enough to handle this set up with a 3090 kingpin?  My voltage for CPU overlock is at 1.35 I believe to obtain the 5.1 all core OC.  I don't plan on going ham on the GPU overclocks honestly, but I know the Kingpin draws a ton of wattage regardless.  I also use the XMP 1 profile to OC my RAM FWIW. 

Question 2: Kingpin rad location
Will the Kingpin hoses be long enough to accommodate a front mounted radiator orientation with hoses at the bottom?  
 
Question 3: Fan orientation
All Rad fans are Corsair LL Series LL 120 RGB 120mm, currently 4 push orientation.  The two front intake fans are 140mm version of the same.  I plan on adding 3 more 120mm fans with the Kingpin config.  Thoughts on air flow? 
 
With Kingpin in the front I am planning on that having 3 120mm fans push.  Move the two 140mm fans to the bottom to bring in cool air and since there will be no more rad in the back ill use that as another cool air intake as well.

I just got my 3090 kingpin and there is no manual at all. I read a lot of things here in the forum to get idea of how the overclock is going for this cards. Mine does 14273 in port royal just installing it in the OC bios and no OC program or fans speed change. I'll do some testing.

The temps with the OC bios are very cool so the LN2 bios should work well for the card for bench and gaming. I'm replacing the stocks fans as well with the noctuas.

Are we allowed to use the LN2 bios without voiding the warranty?

Not sure how similar they are, but you can reference the other hybrid guide:

My Kingpin came in yesterday. I have a 360mm AIO for my CPU up top exhausting, so I put the rad for the Kingpin up front as intake. This meant removing 3 intake case fans. I noticed that if I jump out of a game and do something CPU heavy quickly, my CPU temp is much higher. I'm attributing this to lack of cooled fresh air. I added 2 140mm fans to the bottom as intake, and I already had a back 140mm as exhaust. I also changed the rad fan curve to keep at a higher fixed % even when the GPU is idle to help get airflow in.
My question is, how can I improve this? I really like having the Kingpin be front intake for the best fresh air. A couple of ideas I want input on: Rear case fan as intake to feed fresh air to the top mounted AIO? Would this cause problems with the front AIO pushing the opposite direction. And second, top AIO as intake while leaving the back case fan as exhaust? This is pumping a lot more heat in to the case and I'm not sure the rear fan would be enough?
Thoughts?

Hi all.  I'm finally going to receive my KingPin tomorrow barring any additional shipping delays and have a few questions:
 
1). I hear the stock fans stink.  What fans do you recommend (LL vs ML)?
2). What is the best fan controller to use if I want to remove the fans from the card's power system?
 
Really looking forward to this! Thanks!

I don't use a fan controller, directly - my motherboard has temperature thermocouple plug ins on it, so I have one of those running to the GPU radiator exhaust then I use that temperature to control the radiator fans via a motherboard fan header (with the EK fan splitter to power the fans themselves directly off the power supply, and send PWM signal to the motherboard).  Depending on where you are, those fan splitters are a bit expensive, but worth it.
 
Fans, anything is better than the stock ones I think.  The stock ones have so much backdraft they're incredibly inefficient for their noise level.

 
Interesting.  I have that same board that you do although I was planning on putting this on the Ultra version (I think one step down in Gigabyte's lineup - also with a 9900k).  I'll have to see if I can figure out how to make it all work as I think the Master actually came with a probe as part of the standard kit.
 
Appreciate the answer!  I have some Corsair ML/LLs currently in the rig and will use those.  I also partly asked as I just finally got around to installing a converted 2080ti black with an EKWB in another rig and I realized I have no way to really adjust the fan curves based on GPU temps.

How about the small fan on the card?
Anyone else not disturbed by it? :)


Also, any settings regarding fan profile in X1 are lost once X1 is closed.
Noticed however that the light settings are kept after X1 is closed.
Is there any possibility to retain also the fan profile once X1 is closed?
 
Another possibility is to take off the small fan and put something else there :)
Can be removed just the card cover easily w/o disassembly everything?
