Hello All, 
 
I just got my new Kingpin 3090 and just installed it. 
I was running some initial benches and noticed that when I move the BIOS position to the LN2 spot, my power limits do not change. 
I of course moved the switch to the LN2 position when the PC was off. 
 
Attached are some screen captures that show my BIOS and the associated power limits when the switch is in the LN2 position.
Could I have an incorrect BIOS on the LN2 position? 
Is this an RMA?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I absolutely would not RMA over a bios. You may need to contact kingpin to get the most up to date bios for your card, as it will unlock more power.

    I know there is a 1000W Kingpin BIOS but I was just looking for the ones that are supposed to be stock on the card. I also understand that the 1000W BIOS would void your warranty. Not looking to do that just yet. 
    I have confirmed that all three switch positions have the same power limit of 105%. 
     
    Is there a way to get the proper BIOS loaded on the card? 
    A little bummed right now.

    You're looking at the wrong menu. Look at nvidia bios dropdown menu inside gpu-z to see the minimum and maximum power limit. The max power target % means nothing as depending on how the vbios is setup the max % can vary.

    Ok, where do I find this? I can't find this drop down?
    And wouldn't I see an increase on the sliders?

    Ok I'm an idiot....found it

    The slider is only a percentage of the power limit, the power limit is an actual number instead of a percentage.
