slap some noctua a12x25 or corsair ml120pros on the rad and you're golden 
im praying for a big drop soon

My Hybrid fans are not that bad on the FTW3, what were they thinking

Has anyone tried the Lian li fan pack on a radiator?

Just an FYI folks, I've seen north of 520W of draw on the stock-LN2 BIOS that has a 520W limit.  Saw it peak as high as 535W on the OLED display - which I think is more accurate that HWInfo or GPUz because those only poll once per second and don't pick up spikes.
That was with some minor bumps in voltage through Classified Tool & with a pretty hefty OC though.  After seeing that the 1000W BIOS apparently sticks your vRAM running at full speed, I don't think I'll be trying that despite it being out there in the wild where you don't have to ask for it & thusly void your warranty just to give it a try.
 
I can say the load balancing of power on these cards is MUCH better than the 3090 FTW3 Hybrid.  Maximum draw I've seen from the PCIe slot hasn't even hit 75W yet, some of the 8 pins went slightly over spec during that 535W run, but nothing dangerous (5-10W) considering Vince has ran Kingpins drawing almost 900W EACH and didn't fry an 8-pin.
 
Good luck on the drops today everyone!
 
Edit: Oh, and the stock fans on the radiator are G_A_R_B_A_G_E - gaps on the fan blades are huge, they're way too loud at maximum RPM despite only spinning up to like 2200 - I swapped to EK Vardars today, we shall see how that effects temps, should be nice though.

I ended up on Vardar EVO ER fans as well, I didn't see anything outside the industrial noctuas that had a higher SP but maybe im not looking in the right places (outside the furious meltemi). At least it looks a lot better now.

Does anyone/has anyone used a PCIe Riser Cable before & had a good quality one they could recommend someone else buy?  I'm seriously considering vertically mounting my Kingpin purely to have it on display because that copper is amazing & it's a shame it can't be seen more. lol
Need one that's PCIe 4.0 compatible for future upgrades.

Before they shut it down, I had been pretty heavily involved with crunching for SETI (off and on for like 21 years, actually), and about 5-6 years back I had liked what I'd seen with the mining rig setups that had started becoming popular, so I decided that crunching with 5-6 GPUs on a system might be a fun thing to try. I heard horror stories about cheap crappy riser cables toasting GPUs and motherboards, so figured if I wanted to do it, I was going to do it right. I researched a bit, and came up with the ones pictured below.
 
I bought them from Heilind Electronics, and if I recall correctly, they cost about $65-70 each. Which I know sounds crazy, but when you're hanging a bunch of $3-600 video cards off of them, and a $600+ motherboard/CPU/RAM as well, then I thought that it would be cheap insurance. Plus the fact that they were made by 3M didn't hurt, either...  Obviously, they are not 4.0 compliant, but looking at them, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't work at that speed. No promises of course, and the 2 larger cables appear to be aluminum coated, pretty good stuff. If you have any questions, let me know.

*edit* just wanted to say that I had used them since I got them, and never had one issue related to those cables, they worked flawlessly for me running 24x7 for like 5 or so years. And for giggles, I looked, and they are still on Heilinds site: https://estore.heilind.co...250/MMM7100156064.html and from 3M's site https://www.3m.com/3M/en_...+3290317481&rt=rud

I'm definitely not messing with my BIOS switch from this point on out of fear of breaking it... on the LN2 BIOS & that's where I'm stayin' :-P
