My chip needs high vccio.. like 1.325+v. For 4x 8gb 32GB total 4266mhz.

Are you sure? Did you disable all but 1 core with minimal OC applied and test DDR OC step for step. If you did not there are to many variables. ... And some chips but IMO its a bad chip if the IMC requires 1.3v+
 
I have seen this on some boards. This being anything over 4200mhz wanting unfriendly SA/IO. Another variable is the "cache Ratio"... IMO there are bad boards and bad chips. Put them together and you need 1.4v SA/io to run 4133....................

UGH that sucks. I shipped out my original DOA Block today, the replacement passed visual inspection and now it lives in its box on the shelf...

I am thinking that maybe the KPE Hydro Copper Water Block cannot support or run sub freezing temperatures.

On the one hand it looks like a good amount of weight on that top connector. On the other I would hope the KPE HC would survive a little torque....
 
These blocks really need soft hands. Soft tiny gentle hands.

So far testing the ko card with the new copper block and not liking the results. Seems while watching the temps on the board.. most are like 1c difference. Some temps higher.

I cant use more voltage in the end without errors in 3dmark.. so not happy.

Cant get 2205mhz to run anymore. I have to run real low voltage but then the scores are low.

Same deal.. use higher voltage and get higher scores.. but now not too much or she errors in 3dmark.

Fighting thinking about looking at the resale value of the card and block and jump back to a ftw3 if I can come out well ahead to where it makes sense.

Who here is running their KPE with a vertical GPU mount? Any issues? I am mysteriously hitting power limit @ 100%-105% ~305W-330W as reported in GPU-Z/HWiNFO.... thinking it could be my vertical mount kit. Figured I'd ask here before going thru process of removing vertical mount and re-installing in horizontal to test...
 
I engineered a nice ducting system from my central-air to my KPE for benching but am running into power limit issues...

Any Photos of this Engineered Ducting System?

Read Tin's guide. If you are adding voltage to the GPU core on water cooling then you simply don't understand how these cards work and should read the guide until you do. Furthermore, all this "I can't hit 10,433,000 Mhz - **** is wrong with this thing" comments - again that's not how these chips work and as TIN states in the guide more than once it is not uncommon to get LOWER SCORES at HIGHER CLOCKS because of throttling and error correction.  Look what I just did by LOWERING my max voltage to 1.075 and removing all power limiters (I'm using the XOC BIOS to do that) and boo hoo I wasn't able to hit 2200 Mhz and had to settle for the 55th highest score in the world for a single GPU (sarcasm):

I may have complained about the waterblock and the memory temps but nevertheless these cards are sick. I'm starting to look at the 2080 Ti landscape and thinking all models from all vendors are ridiculously overpriced except for the EVGA Kingpin which for the additional cost was the only bargain out there.
 
Writing this quickly - sorry if I sound like a jerk.

I ran mine vertically with the stock cooler and with the HC waterblock. No issues until I started to notice artifacts during my first long gaming session with the card. At the time, the card was being run at +1000 mem and +100 core. Temps in PX1 or GPU-Z were normal. At one point I did noticed that none of the ICX temps were being displayed in GPU-Z, but were still working in PX1. Over the next day I had to keep dropping the core clock to maintain stability to the point I had to run a negative offset on the core to avoid artifacts. Temps were still normal. Then it crashed hard. OLED screen on re-boot read something about the memory power being too low, or something to that effect. RMA'd the card, got the new one installed and no issues thus far.
 
EVGA support has been terrific. 
 
I haven't bothered with the HC block again. The breathing effect on the illumination is kind of annoying and the performance wasn't the best. IIRC, I got better temps just by turning the radiator fan to 100% while using the OC BIOS. 
 
Eventually I want to move everything from my Barrowch Mobula into a Phanteks Evolv X and I may re-vist the HC block thing then.

Back on top of the stock cooler scores in PR! 2280mhz core clock. +205 on the core. Tried +210 but couldn’t get it to go. Bout as high as I can go I think without having to go sub zero cooling.

I think I have a damn good chip but noticed recently that my OLED is stuck at 300mhz for gpu clock and 405mhz mem clock.....anyone else had this problem?? Running 3.19 ver. of PX1
