Gentleman, if you are on the fence or having second thoughts about this card don't. It's worth the wait, it's beautiful...
 

No regrets whatsoever, can't wait to see what she can do!

Nice, hope you enjoy it. I see about 10 of them on ebay now again with very high prices.

I see 7 but none at auction , all buy it now

Oh hai everyone.
 
Monday Monday Monday.  I'll be goin' out and hunting my UPS guy around 10-11AM Monday to grab my Kingpin from him so A: He doesn't have to drive down my road which is about 2 miles away from anyone else he'd have a package with most of the time & B: I get my card before 5-9PM at night. lol
 
Guess that means Sunday night/Monday morning I'll be spamming YouTube videos from people that have actually posted about fine tuning the Kingpin without LN2 - wish more people would do those kind of reviews.  I know it's meant for extreme overclocking, but having a basic guide of how to fiddle with things & such on just the AIO would be pretty a neat starting guide for people that haven't messed with Kingpin-level cards in generations I.E. me & I imagine a good bit of people here.

That was quite a big drop that happened this last week... Is that about the normal size for the drops that happen on here? I moved up approximately 50 spots!

there is a Kingpin on EBay for 899 from the UK, but it wont let you check out with it.

Yeah it says seller can't accept payments right now.

Oh, you actually tried?

Yeah, you can commit to buy but can't pay for it. I sent message to seller to cancel order cause couldn't pay and it was cancelled no problem on sellers end. I venture on these hard to believe sales every now and then so far have not had any mishaps or lost any money. Ebay money back guarantee has always worked out for me.

I assume its bot bait, although it does not actually say that

Have you find any of those being sold already?
Hard to believe there is someone actually would buy it.

People that are looking to run SLi for record attempt benchmarks tend to not bat an eye at spending extra to get a second card especially in short-supply times like this, I would guess at least half of the ones that are actually sold on EBay are going to people like that.  Especially if it goes to someone on YouTube/Twitch that will make money off having the card, it's an expense that's not that hard to justify.
 
For normal people like us in this queue, it's annoying and insulting because some people are going to be waiting weeks/months for one while someone else in the queue chose to scalp for profit - crappy situation but not a whole lot we can do about it.

Two spots away for me! Anyone have an idea on the next drop? I suspect my notify might come even before that since I'm so close.

We will only know when it happens or when Jacob announces the drops on the day of

You're running it with the GPU radiator on the bottom of the case? How's the pump noise?

It's on the front of the case, all the air if any will be at the top of the radiator.

Lel the blue light played tricks on my eyeballs, I was sort of distracted while posting, just recovered from a "GPU randomly deciding to not show video" for several reboots scare.  Thought I merced my card for a bit there. lol

Hoping for lots of drops this week

Looks stunning man congrats. I am still waiting on that hydrocopper to show itself.

More are on eBay now. Nuts

This whole situation with scalpers on everything really is beyond annoying. I know EVGA is doing the best it can but there has to be a solution to this.

I bet they can be traced by serial number. Just remove elite status and associate program from those individuals. That’s what I would do.

Assuming the person registers the product yeah, otherwise they wouldn't be able to track it I would think.
