How does that communication happen?

Social media, I believe

Yea Jacob tweeted the FTW3 HC auto notify time a day or two in advance.

What's the tweet acct?

Whoa that's what it looks like?

Unfortunately, they didn't get it done for today.
 
 

hmm...cannot make my mind up if I want to go for it or not; considering that some owners are having pump noise issues of the hybrid KPE.  I don't want to get a refurb if mine will have this issue down the line (hopefully not).

Humm.... no pumps are in the block here.  This is for custom loops only, you buy your own pump and radiator.

Yes, I know.  I had a custom loop before, cpu and GPU block.

Tom’s Hardware had an article from January that shows the KP HC block attached to the PCB. For some reason the link doesn’t show in my post.

Can we make a dedicated hydrocopper thread? It’s kind of strange coming here and sifting through 4 pages of hydrocopper comments. 


most of us are here for the kingpin AIO and we keep an eye on the thread to see if the queue moved. So when I see 4 pages i tend to get excited. Just me though. 


Also wonderful April EVGA. 3 Kingpin AIO. -slow clap.- I love how the drops just get smaller and smaller and smaller.

There is one already, here:

And yes, I agree with you.

I’m sure most people will throw the aio in the garbage once we can get the blocks

I actually prefer the hybrid/aio over HC...but I will get whichever one that's available lol

is there a way to order the kingpin these days? i know it was limited to post count or whatever when it launched, but where does that stand now days?

All you can do is get on the auto notify list and wait forever. Just need to be an elite member.

What Talon951 said. You need to be an Elite member (info here: https://www.evga.com/member/elite/) and then you can click the auto-notify button (here: K|NGP|N) and then report back your time stamp and we will add you to our unofficial, self-reported queue tracking project (current status is here: Queue).  Best of luck!

I'm currently #9 in the queue, is EVGA seriously only getting 4 video cards a month atm?

There's probably a lot more people signed up than are in the spreadsheet.

Add me in if you want.

I’ll get you added when I am back in front of the computer (about 3 hours from now). Thanks for participating.

Well played.

Pls and ty!

Unless you're an extreme overclocker, I don't really recommend waiting forever for a kingpin since it'll be over half the card's life cycle. I got my Strix which comes on Wednesday on the first Best Buy drop I've been apart of. 3090s last a bit longer, just have the page of 3090 open before the drop starts (Every 2 weeks either on Tuesday, Thursday or Friday  between 8 and 10 AM PST) Just my opinion doh.

This conversation has been done and had. This is just patently misinformation. First of all to counter this logic “It’s ‘over half the cards life cycle’ 

First of all no one truly knows that that life cycle is. Again there are shortages for products everywhere. Things have been shut down for over a year in a lot of places and progression has moved at a snails pace along with manufacturing. See the delays in the hydrocopper? Those are manufacturing delays. Lovelace also experienced this delay in manufacturing. 

You’re about a month or two away from when a 3080ti which is fine. Brings me again to my second point.

Do you think this is seriously going to fix the scalping issues? You’re still going to be waiting in a queue for the 3080 ti. In fact if there’s one positive thing about the kingpin it’s the price point. A lot of people won’t want to order something that’s going to cost them $2,000.
So I’d expect kingpin levels of performance for a card that’s half the price. The queue there is going to be enormous and guess what. There’s still production and manufacturing and distribution issues because of bots and scalpers. 

You recommend some discord or some YouTube channel that notifies you when things get in stock? How long were you actually monitoring those venues? 

Third. I know people in the industry who would be getting their hands on Lovelace. They have all told me that they’ve spoken to their reps about Lovelace. This is a ****post. The reps have told them that Lovelace exists. They’ve also told them that they have no clue when their data centers are going to get their hands on Lovelace. Just because NVIDIA has it finished doesn’t mean it’s ready and keep in mind that you make up a small margin of the business NVIDIA does. A large chunk of their income comes from corporate entities. They’d normally have their hands on stuff like Lovelace already. 
 
They don’t. So lets assume Lovelace isn’t delayed or affected by this manufacturing and supply chain issue. What’s going to happen when they go live and bots snatch them up the instant they’re placed on store fronts? You’ll wind up in a queue again.

Stop using an arbitrary ‘life of product’ as an argument to deter people from staying the course. A ‘life of product’ that YOU define that’s completely subjective to YOU and how YOU were going to use the GPU. Some people might not be looking to leap from Ampere to Lovelace and are actually looking to go from Pascal to Ampere and sit for a while and enjoy Ampere or jump from Turing to Ampere and do the same thing. That’s why ‘life of product’ is subjective.
