Just incase you miss it it seems you can email them and they'll let you order anyway.

Cause EVGA CS is best in biz XD

So at this point, like many, I'm pretty frustrated by the wait. I know EVGA isn't at fault and they are offering something no other company is with the queue. I have been EVGA loyal for years and plan on keeping it that way. But I've become just frustrated enough with the stock issues to consider spending the money on the 3090 Kingpin HC in the near future if I can get on the list early enough. This may not be the place to ask but if anyone has advice or can guide me to the proper forum, what would be the necessary setup to watercool that card. I have always done aircooling and if possible would probably still keep my noctua cpu cooler and just cool the 3090. Is that a viable set up? Am I going to get over my head setting up water cooling? What parts would I need? I know a pump, a radiator, tubing, the liquid itself, and fans.

Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Also as a long time lurker thanks enewt for all you do I wish you luck with with HC tomorrow!

It’s easy to set up but be prepared to spend way more than you planned for. Whatever fittings you think you need, double it, get 90 degree and 45 degree fittings that rotate (bought a bunch that didn’t rotate and they all ended up pointing the opposite direction I needed after tightening them down), get extra coolant just in case. It’s easy enough to run the tubing, pressure test, and run the pump for a day before powering everything.

A reservoir/pump combo unit is good for streamlining the process
You can cut some cost and effort by just running Distilled water with biocide added in it which is like 5 or 10 bucks a bottle, which makes at least 1 gallon depending on brand
flexible tubing is easiest to work with, I went with Primochill 3/8 5/8 advanced LRT tubing and its pretty nice stuff, whatever you get make sure to match the tubing with the fittings, there are different sized tubing, with inner diameter and outer diameter being important
Edit-you wont use anywhere near 1 gallon of coolant/fluid at all, I used about a quart and that's with some wasted through trial and error figuring out how to fill the thing lol
also make sure to add a split somewhere at bottom of loop to add a ball valve to make draining the loop for service easy as pie

here is a good vid from Jay on the whole subject actually XD

I've noticed they have increased since the Elite announcement hmmmmm

I get that. It is understandable and it is what it is. The constant “feed me information, I’m lazy” posts; those I find hard to stomach after the umpteenth time the same question is answered mere posts above the post asking it again.

Sorry. Shouldn’t have this much salt with last night’s dinner 🙄

bro link is needed. enewt may keep this one to himself LOL

I think it's safe to assume it will be 3999 SKU#. So https://www.evga.com/products/autoNotify.aspx?pn=24G-P5-3999-KR ? I could be wrong though.

Yes I agree, If it follows the same as the 3090 ftw3, it will be 3999.

Would be pretty cool if the kingpin hydrocopper had an OLED Display like the hybrid model

Unless I'm missing something. It says "OLED Display" in the title for the Hydrocopper.
