Took some work to fit this one on a crystal series 600x, but we did it!

I was going to PM you but I guess you don't have PM's yet. How did you manage? That's a 680x right? I have one too, and I'm switching my 360MM AIO to a 240 to fit the KPE in. I see it fit with the lines down? IDK what Corsair was thinking, they needed to add a few inches of depth as the case design IMO is flawed. You can't even fit their 360MM AIO up front and 2 fans up top without mounting the top fans above the fan bracket as it would hit the rad lines. I was mad one night recently and I E-mailed them about it. The answer was "not all configs shown will work with this case". LOL.

Hallo friendos!
 
I haven't decided if I'm joining the || side or not yet, but I probably have plenty of time to make that decision:

I know Sajin & a few others already have this card, what's the power limit on the regular non-LN2 OC BIOS on these things?

The OC BIOS is 500W, I believe the "LN2" BIOS is 520W so it's fine for stock cooling. The XOC that a few have been able to get from Vince is 1,000W. They have run that carefully on the stock cooler as well with a low ambient air temp. 

Apologies if this is a stupid question, but can anyone answer if the 3090 KINGPIN will run with only two of the three 8 pin power connector slots using a 1,000W power supply? I recognize it may not support max LN2 overclocking, but will it run and OC using the AIO cooler?

Joining the party as well!

Understood, I appreciate the info and will definitely be upgrading the PSU.  Thanks Dabadger84!

Nice!  GPU setup as exhaust & CPU as intake looks like?  Nice clean build.
 
Still working on cleaning mine up.

Yep CPU is front intake and GPU is top exhaust. I tried to give this one some love and make it clean after my last build.

Very good graphics card

I was going to PM you but I guess you don't have PM's yet. How did you manage? That's a 680x right? I have one too, and I'm switching my 360MM AIO to a 240 to fit the KPE in.

I was mad one night recently and I E-mailed them about it. The answer was "not all configs shown will work with this case". LOL. 

It took a bit of time but I can give you the basic steps.
1 remove the front of the case, 
2 remove any fans you have installed on the back or bottom of the case
3 line up your top rad or fans as close to the back of the case as possible to make space for the front rad
4 make sure if you are using an AIO for your cpu make sure the lines are facing the back of the case
5 install the rad on the front mount bracket but screw it as low as you can in order to get the rad into the case and on the bracket, (when i installed it was like a inch lower then the bracket, this step is just so you can get the rad in the case), once its in you can adjust the height.
6 You will have to mount the card vertically with a riser or you wont have space for your power cables
7 You will need low profile cables that you can bend in a inch space
8 add your bottom fans back in. if you have a AIO you will only be able to place a 120 fan in the back. you can play around with where you mount as the case gives you a lot of options for that. 
 
That should cover any major issues you might have.

WOW, thanks a lot! I thought I was going to get lucky and it would fit without having too much trouble. I'm going to see if I can mount the radiator up top above the bracket, closer to the glass and then the fans below. Basically sandwich the bracket between the fans and radiator if that makes sense. I had to do that with my upper fans. Probably not enough room to clear it but I will give it a shot. I don't have a riser cable, I was going to try to mount horizontal but it I guess the cables get in the way and the extra bit of clearance is needed using the vertical mount. Do you have a support bracket below the card? I did see one guy here mount his Hybrid by making these small offset washers so to speak. The allowed the upper radiator to be shifted back further. 
 
I also know you can mount the front fans in front of that bracket as well to get an extra 25MM, but that's a little more difficult and I really need that front dust filter to function. The top doesn't matter since it's exhaust. 
 
I bought a 240MM AIO just for this but now I'm thinking maybe I should have joined the train and gotten a O11 XL. Then I could have kept my 360 for the CPU. I love the 680x but man, it's not loop or radiator friendly. 
 
What riser did you get and is it PCIE gen 4? Was thinking of getting linkup. 
 
Thanks again! 
 
EDIT: Wait, do you have it in push pull up front?
