Heres an example of setting max clock on the curve in MSI After Burner.



Open the curve (control+F keys).. select the dot on the graph for the max voltage you can use (or any voltage you want to try). Raise it up with the mouse or arrow key. Set it at the clock you want. Then hit control+L keys. You'll see the yellow line appear. Then hit apply or enter on rhe main AB display. You'll see the yellow line will change the curve and at the top of the yellow line there will be 2 new branches from it going to other dots..

No flipping clue what this does. At first for a whole week I thought it was locking in the voltage. But no.

Sajin's lock voltage guide shows a different way to do that but it dont work for me.. i mean i can set it like how he shows but I cant get a stable overclock using it that way.

In the 2nd bench in 3DMark Firestrike Extreme and in games I'm locked at what I set.. so 2190 or 2205mhz. It's when i hit the power limit it will dance back and forth. Which will happen on the first test on firestrike and the 3rd.. getting under that power limit means a higher bench score.

So for the Kingpin.. use PX1 to set your rad fan/pump rgb whatever. Then close it.. open up AB and set the clock.. test. Make sure to setup the OSD in AB so you can see what's going on durring benches/games.

I guess I neglected that when I installed the new version. That’s probably why, I’ll check when I get home.

How are you changing fan speeds? I feel like I’m doing it incorrectly. I’m setting curves on the secondary fan curve window but I don’t know if it’s actually working.

I use the Slider to the % I want to use then Click Apply and then Click Save.
I will play with the Fan Curve Window and see how it works, I know for Fan Curve Profile to work PX1 needs to be running.
 
The fan curve seems to work ok. That is a Really Small Bock to Click on the Enable.

 So I set using Aggressive and the Fan Chart Changes then I click Apply and then Save and the settings do save.
When you return to the same Windows the Chart Settings stayed the same but the name changed to Custom.
After restarting the setting did stay the same and the Fan Profile was working.

 
Gosh I'm so stupid...I hadn't even seen that box. I was wondering why my fan curves were never applying! 
 
How do I know if a profile I've saved has really stuck? 
 
Also, I had forgotten to tick the box for "load previous" in the setup after I updated to the newest version....
 
Just lots and lots of dumb mistakes, nothing to see here...

Ok, so apparently trying to control the temps/fans with the automatic control curves does absolutely nothing. Just benchmarked some DOOM and temps weren't any better at all. Still 57-58, and they actually got HIGHER than in Vermintide 2. I was at like 60 C under full load. Clocks didn't really go down but still. Ambient temperatures are the same as they always are - usually 23-24 C. 
 
That makes absolutely zero sense to me. 

Where is KINGPIN for EU customers?
I would like to get one card to replace gtx sli.

What do your Temperatures show if you set the Fans at say 80%
How did you install the Card, Post a Photo so we can take a look.
I am not seeing Over 44°C on the GPU and 48°C on the GPU Die.

Tried it. Temps shot right back up to 57-58 C. Fans were set at 80%. 
 
There is nothing wrong with how I've installed the card. The AIO hoses are pushed in a bit when the case door is closed but other than that they are not impinged.

Change over to the OC or Middle Bios for more Fan Power.
Your Tubes are Lower than the GPU/Pump.
Not really seeing any cool fresh air for the Blower Fan on the Card.
This could be why your Temps are little higher.

 
Changing the BIOS doesn't change anything. Temperatures are maybe a degree or two lower. 
There are no other options. I have an AIO up top. There has to be a radiator mounted somewhere in each part of the case. 
There are no other options in terms of case airflow intake. I have two radiators and they have to go somewhere. The CPU AIO is a 280. 
There's no damn way that the blower fan on the card is going to make a difference of 10 degrees C. That's absurd. 
If I change the AIOs around then the air that the Kingpin is getting will just be hot and used. Sure the hoses will be "correct" but it won't even matter because all of the air will be stale with that radiator up top.
 
 Opening the case door does nothing.
 
Edit: actually temperatures are the SAME on the OC BIOS. It doesn't do jack.
Edit 2: I physically verified that the coolant is flowing in the tubes. 
Edit 3: I will try doing a switch around with the radiators and mounting a 140 air intake fan below the 280 on the front. 240 Kingpin rad up top. Won't have time today but I'll try it tomorrow and see what happens I guess. I don't feel like it's going to make a difference but we will see.

In another Post I show the Fans run faster between the Normal and OC Bios.

The Px1 0.3.15.0 icx firmware update for the kingpin card seems to have the fan ranges switched between the rad fans and pump.  The fans wouldn't go over 1200rpm after the update and cant go under 900rpm (50%).  Then I noticed it was possible to run the pump at 2400rpm, before was 2200rpm.  pro tip, dont run the pump at 0... ;)
 
I popped the kingpin back on the X299 Dark and connected the rad fans to a separate controller to get 1800rpm back. System ram is at 4200cl16 dual channel, I slowed trfc from 280 to 320. Oh also changed the gpu pcie power cables for new ones just to be sure. All that netted +110 points in Port Royal.
 
clocks 2205/+1460
Port Royal - 9807
3dmark.com/3dm/35455503

Seems 9585 is my max for now.
 
When I update PX1 uninstalled the old version and also I do not install LED Sync.
I then delete the Folder (in Bold) under C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\EVGA_Co.,_Ltd
I then delete the Folder (in Bold) under C:\Program Files\EVGA\Precision X1
I even go as far as deleting any Precision X1 and WinRing0 from the Registry.
Then restart the PC and install the new version, Do not Start PX1 but Restart the PC.
Then start PX1 allow any Firmware Updates, then I shut down and Power Off the PSU and Monitor for a few minutes.
Then back to Overclocking.
 

Thanks bcavnaugh, I'll run through your procedure tonight and see if it helps my fan control bug.
 
Have you considered running your RAM in dual channel (pull the outside two sticks) and overclocking past 3600mhz?  I found nice scaling on both my systems with high RAM frequency.  The other day when I had the Kingpin on my Z390 Dark with a single stick of TridentZ Royal, I ran back to back tests with 4400cl17 and then 4600cl17, no other changes at all.  I saw +130 points with the 4600.  On the X299 Dark, going from 4000cl16 to 4200cl16 gives a similar boost for me.

On the rad fan speeds, from the OC guide, I see the fans are Power Logic PLA12025S12M, the closest number in their catalog is PLA12025B12M which is 1800 rpm, 65 cfm, and 2 mmH2O static pressure.  Power Logic appears to denote speed changes with a -A through -D at the end of the part number so I infer that 1800rpm is the rated speed.  PX1 was showing 1744rpm before my current fan bug.  The same fans plugged into a Corsair commander pro are reading at 1933rpm.

In another Post I show the Fans run faster between the Normal and OC Bios.
 

Ok, but that's not solving my issue. I'm going to do a rad swap and add one intake fan at the bottom of the front of the case and see what happens. Don't have high hopes but I don't have any other good options. 

I flashed the LN2 Bios to the OC bios that way the full rpm's of the vrm fan and the radiator fans can be utilized but still maintain the temperature monitoring, i have both of my radiators at the bottom of the case well below the video card/pump and i'm not having any issues. 

Usually lower 40's C for the die and lower 50's C for the vram. In heavy benchmarking and stress testing mid to upper 40's C for die and mid 50's C for the vram. These are what the fans will do using the LN2 bios in the OC bios switch. During benchmarks rpms go higher yet.

Yeah so by flashing the LN2 bios to the OC bios and then putting the switch in the OC position your gaining fans speeds but losing nothing.  If you want to enjoy maximum fan speeds that 90.02.30.00.79 provides, you can flash it into “Normal” or “OC” position instead, to maintain thermal protection mechanisms and safety.

Funny my Benchmarks dropped over 500 points

with the DEFAULT setting on the OLED i am getting an incorrect temp reading for "GPU temp". the main screen for PX1 says idle about 30-32C but the LED displays 40ish. change the OLED setting from "DEFAULT" to "MONITORING" and it shows correct "gpu" temp now. anyone else having this issue? my settings are bios OC default settings fans at 100% power slider at 144%

Is PX1 Running?

yes. with the OLED at default in PX1 idle temps reports 40c for "GPU" but then aply "monitoring" setting then "GPU temperature" and "GPU temp 2" display correct reading of 30c and 33c respectively
