So I had a chance to test bench my card somewhat yesterday and what I found was it has the 450W max bios on all 3 spots....
 

 
 
What? No 520W on the Ln2 position?

Nope, but on 450W you are able to get 15.2 to 15.3K from the very short time I tested it. 4 Runs out of box.
520W runs like max 540W on spikes with a constant 500 to 520W or so. Was able to knock out some ok numbers after a few test runs. 15.5 and 15.6K

Sweet, That is good to hear you reached those scores.

Okay this may be a dumb question but if @jacob or another member could answer this who received a card in the first batch, did the Kingpin not come with screws to mount the radiator to your case? My package did not have them. It's fine for now because my case has been delayed to next week but my alphacool rad screws were not the correct thread when i checked it. Happy with the card otherwise but kind of bummed about this. 13800 stock on PR, stopped tuning at 15100 because my apartment AC froze up trying to keep it under 70.

I received a card in the first batch, and mine didn’t come with radiator screws. I had to scrounge up some screws from a PC screw assortment set that I have on hand for emergencies. It worked but I was definitely surprised and disappointed that you don’t get 12 screws included with your $2,000 purchase. Not the usual EVGA way.

My b-stock 2080ti Kingpin had a missing fan screw and a mismatched fan screw, so you're not alone. I would expect better for a retail card though.

Well I could probably live with a couple of missing or mismatched screws from a B stock card, but not receiving absolutely any radiator screws for a brand new full-priced KR card is more than a little unacceptable to me.

Has anyone seen the press release about Colorful's new 3090 Neptune OC? Sticker is $2300 and it has a 14+8+4 power delivery. Curious how it'll stack up against the kingpin with that price tag but a 1755mhz stock boost clock...

I didn't see any either, but I wasn't expecting them....

I was expecting them since they included them with my 1080ti hybrid and my 2080ti ultra gaming hybrid. It must be that they expect anyone buying a Kingpin to be beyond the average consumer with test benches equipped with all lengths of radiator screws at the ready. Luckily I’m also a tool enthusiast and had plenty of screws ready, but that’s not the point.

I have a whole part bin of screws from when I did this stuff the old school way. It seems that 6/32 x 1/4 is what’s needed.

6/32 x 1/4 is good if you’re mounting the radiator directly to the case. You’ll want 6/32 x 1-1/4 for doing push-pull fan configuration for mounting the radiator through a fan to the case.

I’ve only got m4x30 screws... think it’ll fit for push-pull config?

If you're unsure of whether or not a screw is "too long", you can always use some of those metal washers that everything seems to come with these days, that's what I do if I think a screw is borderline... luckily all the screws I'm using now on the eVGA GPU Radiator either came from the ones holding the GPU radiator fans on, or from an EK AIO kit that has fancy screws that are exactly the right length and only have thread on them enough to go in to "the right" amount.  The rest of the screw is solid (no threads).  I can't find a picture of them online, but they're amazing because they prevent over-tightening (and thusly prevent radiator fin damage).
 
They may not even make them except for for AIO kits from what I can tell.
