Just squeezed into the top 10 for the Hybrid :D 

Any consensus on what fans to get for a push/pull setup on the radiator? Vardar's?

On mine i had 3 noctua 3000rpm industrial fans on the rad pulling.
While not cranked all the way up, i didnt feel much air passing through them, although i did have filters on the fans since the rad doesnt fit in my case cause already watercooled and no more room.
I put 2 spare 140mm corsair ml fans behind the rad in a push-pull config and now i feel the air rush through and my temps are like 2-3*C cooler, gaming is like around 43*C in a 77*F house. 

tl;dr you dont NEED push pull, but it does help.

Hello, my friends! I have returned to the wall to seek the advice of you brave souls who remain on watch.

I had posted this question in the KPE owner's thread awhile back but received no response. Will I be safe enough running my new KPE HC on an 850W platinum rated PSU, if I do not plan on doing any intensive overclocking or benchmarking? (Full system specs below) I never intended to wind up with this high tier of a card, so I didn't opt for a bigger PSU. I honestly view the card more as a collectors item than a tool for reaching the leaderboards, so I'm hoping it will be alright.
 
Full specs:
5900x (stock clocks)
Gigabyte Aorus X570 Master
32gb G.Skill Trident Z 3600 C16 (Running at 3800 with conservative timing tightening)
Samsung Evo 970 EVO M.2
6x Lian-Li Unifan 120s w/ controller
3.1 DDC pump
LEDs in EK distro plate + LEDs in EK motherboard monoblock
Corsair HX850 80+ Platinum
 
 
P.S. I just noticed that it says "New Member" under my avatar...  EVGA? You feeling okay? Been here since I first registered my SLI'd 8800GTs!

If you have a battery backup that shows your current wattage usage or anything similar to it thatll be a good starting point.
I have like 3.5x the fans you have plus pump, 10900k, 3090kp (all oc'd) and i usually see my wattage in the 700Ws gaming and benchmarks, i think once i saw 800Ws playing project wingman of all things. 
You might be fine, but i personally wouldnt take that chance tbh. Also might not be good to be running a PSU so near its max output, but thats only the consensus i read from forums and whatnot, not 100% if thats truly an issue over than it tripping itself. 

I got one of the Last 850 P2 PSUs in November of last year, anything 850 and up has been sold out since then, I managed to snag a G6 1k on the drop day, but that's all I have seen, been in the notify buttons on the 12 13, and 16 for longer than 6 months. I think they were working on the new G6 and may see more of those in the coming months but the others seem dead for now.
 
I got the Artic P12 PWM 5 pack for 42 $ and by all accounts seem to be close to the NF-a12 in performance

I also agree you should be fine as long as you aren't pushing for scores and running stock clocks.  If you are using this for normal use and gaming, then you should be okay running the 850 platinum psu you currently have.  I would recommend signing up for a 1000 watt or over psu here from EVGA.  It will give you some time before they become available and you will get it for retail.  I'm not sure as to when you might have the funds or when it will become but planning would help.  Just for your reference, I signed up for a 1200 watt PSU from EVGA a couple of months ago for a build that I need to do eventually.  I'm still waiting for the notification.  Not sure when I am going to get notified, but atleast I'll get it for MSRP.  If my friend wants it sooner, he'll have to find it on his own.  

Seasonic Focus GX-1000, a 100% solid buy.

I'm sorry for the late reply, but I received my 3090 Hybrid notify and passed as I already purchased a HC via the auto notify last month. You can mark me as no on the 17th. :)

To be fair, EVGA PSUs have been mostly out of stock for a long time now, but there are other brands out there. I picked up Corsair's HX1000 just a month ago at MSRP, which is arguably a better unit than any comparable EVGA model.

What makes you say that? I’ve got both a Corsair HX1000i and an EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 T2. Haven’t really noticed a difference between the two.

Just got this in my inbox... had a laugh at the "Bonus 10W" 😁

If you're not a fan of custom loops, why sign up for the custom loop card?

Because there is none 3090 available at MSRP....

 
I just ordered a 3090 FTW3 from EVGA yesterday and it comes tomorrow, I'll trade you straight up lol.

GrayKitten misread my comment...it's this guy that was going to buy the HC but was hesitant because he has never done any watercooling...I already have my kingpin HC

Mine arrives last Fri.  let me know if you are willing to trade this week~

I got mine last week too, PM me and lets see if we can make this happen!

Looks like that user in SoCal is going to be a better bet, not only are they offering the Hybrid (assuming you want it) but they're closer to you. Good luck, let me know if it falls through!

Yeah these prices on PSU don't make sense it's crazy... I am happy I put my hands on a HX1200 when it was "only" 293 on Newegg back in February ... Now a rebate price is at 347 (382 full price)...
