After an ordeal with a dead X99 system (RIP old friend), I finally moved on to the x299 platform.
Here it is getting re-tested for leaks...

 
Unfortunately, I had fluid leak into the HydroCopper block between the acrylic and the copper due to a loose plug, so I had to pull the whole thing apart and clean it up as well as making sure nothing was left on the PCB.  
The EVGA plastic covering didn't get too mauled in the process, but it was still a pain thanks to the glue.  
Also, confirmation that the dang logo LED is white only; doesn't seem to be a simple way to replace it.

The opposite side seems to only have 2 SMD white LEDs and a diffuser.

Anyway, after all that time and trouble, it finally works! So here's an initial Port Royal run with minimal nvvdc tweaks:

Graphics Score: 9842
Graphics Test:   45.57 fps


 

This looks almost identical to mine! Nice work! Even the fluid color lol

Hi the oled in the kingpin 2080 ti shows a higher temp for GPU 1 than px1 reading ?
Any advise

The oled is more accurate.

All of your bios for the kingpin card can be found here  https://xdevs.com/guide/2080ti_kpe/    To my knowledge none of the bios have changed from the original bios. Only the firmware has changed a few times.
The newest firmware can be flashed by downloading the newest PX1 software.  
Open PX1, in the lower right corner click the little circle beside the version, when the window opens click update, when that window opens the newest firmware for the 2080ti kingpin is E200_FA42

Thank you dwexpress
I want to Flash the 100% Fan bios to the Second BIOS

 
Yeah, its a good thing to do, i did it as well before i started messing around with the XOC bios

My first time posting here, although long time EVGA customer. Apologies if this has been answered before but, I wasn't able to find it in the forums.
 
I purchased the Kingpin a few weeks ago and it is fantastic. The past few days I've been trying to load a custom picture on the OLED with no success. I'm able to create an image within the X1 requirements and the image shows successfully in the Custom [1,2,3] box in X1.
However when I apply the Custom [1.2.3] image to my card all I get is a solid white-ish OLED screen. I've tried various images, pure B&W, greyscale, diferrent bitmaps and types with no success. I have both the latest formware update and X1 software. I even tried rolling back to earlier versions. All of the X1 OLED default images work fine.
Has anyone been able to display a custom picture other than what comes with the X1 software? If so, can you share with me either the image or the specs (type, size, etc).? Appreciate any guidance the community may have!

Yeah i just tried it by doing this. I downloaded an image, then went to this website   and loaded the image, then resized it to 256x64 then saved it to my computer. Opened PX1, loaded the image in custom image 1 slot and it worked fine.    

Thanks dwexpress! I suspect I must then have a dud. :-/ I tried those steps and my OLED still just shows a white blank screen when I use a custom image. Obviously not why I bought the card but, would be nice to have that capability nevertheless. Appreciate the swift response and for posting the photo of it working. 

I just picked up a 2080 Ti K|NGP|N to replace my 1080Ti one and was wondering how the stock cooler compared to the HydroCopper block. My current card is part of a full loop but I'd rather not spend $300 on a full block if the AIO performs on par to a custom solution. Thoughts from people who have tried both?

I think no reason to use Hydro Copper block... I mean I would probably invest in waterblock but maybe not immediately.
Because I keep graphic cards longer maybe I would wait to price drop. Just because visual experience. But temps I saw here on Hydro are perfect. 
And K|NGP|N card is beautifull, always is good to keep first in original condition.

I see they have now removed the Hydro Copper block for the 2080ti Kingpin from the products page as of today, it was still there a couple days ago but was out of stock. I would imagine they are just about done with the Kingpin production and just letting them sell out as well and not going to make any more. Of course this is only speculation.

I’m guessing you’re correct. Tbh I’m surprised the cards themselves have been available for this long. It’s been a good 7 months, give or take. I was guessing the production run would have been a lot shorter due to the quality of chips needed for the KP

I ended up getting another kingpin a month or so ago and the serial number was still only in the 700's

Guess it would be nice if evga would give a warning before cutting off a product for those that plan on buying something at a later date. Shouldn't be too much to ask.

I remember the outcry for the last kingpin block.

Glad I have mine.

Yeah i have 2 of the hydro copper blocks and 3 kingpin cards here.

That's gota burn! Hope you have emailed evga to see what's up.

The 3rd card is only for back-up in case i fry one of the others, ive been pushing one of them pretty hard using the XOC bios, they can really take a beating with the voltage increases and OC capabilities, i'm impressed.

Oh ok. Mint unopened, or (how does one do that) tested to see if it's a better card? Hehe
