I’m going to use my 3080 for the time being until I can get a waterblock for the Kingpin I’m not dealing with the trash stock cooler.

I have managed to fix the issue by attaching a small magnet on the outside of the GPU next to the pump. This is a temporary magnet, I have ordered a small black one instead so it won't be so visible.
You will have to put the magnet on the perfect spot without disrupting the pump. What I did is pull up a GPU temp monitor application and I started by moving the magnet around the pump until i got the desired sound/performance.
I'm getting 21c on idle at 20c room temperature while gaming around 45c with 95% GPU utilization.
Please see the attached picture showing the magnet location.
This magnet trick looks promising. I couldn't find anyone that had their pump die from this trick. Can anyone confirm? I'm about to order some magnets!

I've had mine for 2 months & it only started having significant pump noise after a system swap during which the card was completely out of the system for several hours, not sure how that led to the pump noise, but it did - had no significant noise previously & now it sounds like a miniature under water air compressor, all the time. It's loud enough that it is the loudest thing in the system by far, and my system has 21 fans (all at 900-1100RPM so silent), so that's saying something. Previously the PSU fan was the loudest thing in the system, but this is much louder than that.
I'm also planning on either getting a Kingpin HC when they're available & RMAing then reselling the refurbished card I get, or just getting a lower tier HC & RMAing the Kingpin then reselling whatever I get back - I don't really want to sell the card as is, even with listing it has pump noise, because I don't want to deal with a potential return from an unhappy buyer that doesn't understand when I say pump noise, I mean significant pump noise, not slight, I am not one that's picky about noise, but this thing is pretty obnoxious lol.
so here goes another one, turning into a fridge... in the beginning I thought that these AiOs were faulty from the beginning only, and it's just a matter of luck, but last weeks waiting my replacement I saw many failing after few weeks or months, so it seems a severe quality issue in the end, wonder how things will be in 6 months from now... quite disappointed don't wanna mess with custom stuff, plus purchasing those blocks in Europe will be challenging :))

The rma unit I got back seems to have spectacular thermals, or maybe my pump was crap all along (I repasted with kryonaut so I know it wasn't a paste issue). 41c in port royal and exceeded a score of 15,000! I wonder if evga changed anything with the pumps or not

this is good news, maybe they just replaced the AiO and who knows, improved the memory temps as well...
the noise I suppose is bearable now...

Update on what Evga let me
Do. They let me swap out the coolers. They sent me a new replacement rma and I took the working cooler off and put it on my card. Granted that you are comfortable doing that. But my faulty pump card performed really well. And I got that one new so I didn’t want a used rma card. At least this will hold me off until there are water blocks for the kingpin

update after exactly SEVEN weeks, I finally received the RMA replacement - brand new, sealed, packed really good by the guys from Germany (EVGA Europe) S/N for the new card is ending in 700-ish, old one was ending in 200-ish, don't know if in the meantime were manufactured 500 cards, or numbering is following a different rule, both S/N start with 21 anyways... the new pump still sounds like a mini fridge, but a lot more bearable now - at least not so noticeable from my desk like the old one let's see how reliable is this one IMHO these AiOs are crap indeed, a lot of effort has been put in the PCB & stuff and they put a really cheap AiO there I don't think they test these at all, they just throw something on the card and that's it better they revise this AiO or at least test it somehow and send it to users, instead losing so much time and money with shipping, waiting etc from the coil whine point of view... the new one is a lot better, at least that's a gain old card beginning: https://streamable.com/pmwlfvafter 3-4 weeks: https://streamable.com/rqlzlnreplacement valley: https://streamable.com/csuzfxport royal: https://streamable.com/1w7a0w

I have an xc3 hybrid kit that I already RMA'd once after 2 months. And after 2 months with the new one, it has started making fridge sounds once more. This coolers have a serious quality control problem.

My pump is starting to fail / make that fridge sound starting tonight on my KPE 3090 like all the videos posted in this thread. Solid 6 months of use gaming. Everything about the card is working great except the AIO so I'm going to request just an AIO swap.

yeah, they don't want this, you have to send the card and they will give you another - you might receive a new or refurbished one
6 months you say? thought if I passed 3 months I was safe...

I'm going to push for it as it makes no sense to send in an entire card just to replace an AIO which takes all of 10 min to swap out on what is already a perfectly operating card besides the ever growing college fridge in my case. Yeah, I thought I was good to go too. I've had my KPE 3090 since January 2021.

let us know how this plays out
before sending the card I inquired several times if they have just the AiO... because card I had before was pretty good and a bit more stable; that time they said that there are no spare parts, especially this AiO type, cards are delivered just as a whole...
took seven weeks this process, I had to send the card anyways, they first expected just an AiO from Taiwan eventually, and in the end they sent me another card

That's what happened to my first card. A bit of ticking turned into loud pump sounds and then it just died and I got overheating warnings at idle. It had great memory offsets too.. shame.

All is well that ends well. I ended up giving it the same treatment I gave an old Corsair AIO years ago that was experiencing the same problem. I connected it directly to a fan aux header and starting with 0% (Kingpin was obviously uninstalled at this point just using iGFX) and working up to 100 at each 10% manual intervals, I shook the pump while giving it a series of gentle taps all over to shake loose/re-align whatever was happening. Knocks/clicks gone and actually running a bit quieter than it has since the day I bought it to boot. My old Corsair AIO lasted years after that before I switched to Noctua NH-D14 (then D15) for years before moving back to AIOs a little over a year ago.

Interesting. I have this problem also - got my Kingpin 2 days ago - been like this since install.
I though my PSU was making a strange coil whine due to extra power draw. But this is happening all the time, not just at load.
Placing magnet over the pump seems to stop the noise (but I am not sure if its going to damage/block flow).
I wonder if this is the reason my temps are slightly higher than normal too. Air in the pump?
God I'd hate to RMA over this. Will try @electrosoft method ^

I received my card a few days ago and I finally got to install it yesterday. I'm experiencing the same horrible electric/buzzing sound so many people here are complaining about as well. Like the noise is nothing like i've heard before from a GPU... literally sounds like an old fridge. I'm going to RMA or get my money back cause this is just unacceptable for a 2k+ product.

My noise has gone away by about 50% since. Might just be a new motor working itself in. I do remember this happening with my h115i but not this bad. You're 100% in the right to RMA though. This should not be happening.

prob not a great idea to post "placed a magnet over the pump" before you rma it
never had any issues with my hybrids, are you sure you don't just have air that needs to work out/settle? how is the radiator mounted, tubes up or down? gpu normal or vertical mount?

keep in mind that the kingpin card itself buzzes sometimes even without the hybrid pump on it (converted to hydrocopper). a bit of buzz is normal.

Sent a video of me moving the magnet over the gpu and it becoming quiet (noise stopping) to EVGA support too. Did not keep it there, although some users on these forums did. I will laugh my ass off $2k worth of if this voids warranty. You not having issues with your kingpins doesn't negate pages worth of people reporting "fridge like" noise with their kingpins, we'd assume someone on these forums would know how to google, but maybe not. And yes I've shaken, changed angles by placing PC on its side and did the usual bubble dance more than once.

yeah you may be laughing very soon. hope they take care of you tho
items they denied friends RMA for in the last few months:
-radiator fans installed backwards
-saw a post in a discord chat saying you ran the board on liquid nitrogen (not against warranty terms)
i think the problem now is they had a ton of gpu warranties due to the faulty soldering on their 30 series cards, so they are more strict about what they approve out of necessity
good luck with your fridge

https://imgur.com/a/blOEO7V Got my RMA Kingpin Hybrid just now. Box has a hole in it, and no packing material at all inside the box, just the foam that the card/radiator come inserted in. Pretty ****ty to ship stuff out half-assed like this when they require it to be sent in with "at least 2 inches" of packing material on all sides of the item". Not only that, but there was no rubber protector boot on the x16 connection on the bottom of the card, despite me sending my card back with one. So, I ended up with an entirely different GPU. Instead of swapping out the pump/res, they sent a whole new serial # to me, only it's not new. The LCD screen has a hundred small scratches on it, very noticeable when looking at the card. I have to wait until I get home tonight to test the unit and see how it performs. There's no way to tell what was wrong with this unit from the person who sent it in prior to me getting it. Hopefully there are no drops in performance compared to my old benchmark numbers. Overall, I have to say I'm not impressed at all with the warranty/RMA process, especially the lackluster condition of the packaging they sent it out in when compared to their strict inbound packaging requirements. Get a foam fill machine guys, seriously. Shipping a $2200 GPU in a box too big for it and having it bounce around and get punctured en-route is a serious oversight.

I just got RMA request (I was not asking to RMA, EVGA initiated one after watching the video). Hope I get a quiet Kingpin. Edit: Plugged my Asus 3090 TUF OC while KP is RMAd... just out oc curiosity did overclock - +220 +1100 13839 in PR. Completely power limited - never goes above 375.

Got new packaged Kingpin today. New card is silent. Performance is almost identical but with less voltage, didn't play with OC much yet. Temperatures are on average 5 - 15 deg lower. I think the old pump was not moving coolant as fast as this. Edit: few days in update. If you get this exact noise on your KPH, RMA the card. Oddly enough I am getting less CPU spikes, less hitches and temperature spikes. Highest load temp before was in the 80's ... this new card never went above 76. And as above - its dead silent.

I’m going to buy this card, but this issue seems like a production problem. So could you please confirm, is new version solved this problem or is it still exist?
