What are some of the Motherboards you guys are using for the card?

For me it's an humble MSI MEG X570 GODLIKE motherboard 

Can anyone tell me why I am hitting a power limit while pulling 440watts when using the 520watt LN2 vBios? Should it not pull power up to 520watts before hitting power limit?

when and If I do get my card it will be paired with my EVGA x299 Dark. waiting for Intel on releasing a successor to it if it does happen I will be on it

If I ever even manage to get a KP, I plan on installing it on my ASUS Rog Zenith II Extreme Alpha / AMD 3990X System, But that evidently seems to be happening sometime next year.

You guys will probably laugh at me mine is going in to a Z97-a mobo with a 4790K currently running cyberpunk 2077 on a 2080 ti KPE with no problems other than the odd crash. even with no over clock it still crashes now and then FF 16 i think it is never crashes even with my oc's cpu is at 4.7 gh It also mines when i'm not gaming.

And all the KPE's on ebay unless they give you a copy of the original receipt the warranty goes to 3rd party 1 year from ship date. went through that with some 1600 watt psu's i got they worked like new until they didn't.... and my 850 p took a crap i got it from newegg but it didn't ship form newegg from some other vendor so i don't get the 10 year on it only the 3rd party warranty lucky it was still with in the year or two on that...make my head hurt also don't forget to register any evga stuff you get right away and upload the receipt / invoice  

I'm waiting for the hydro copper KP. Patience is a virtue they say. I want to try ln2 for my first time with the KP Mobo and KP gpu then set them in my custom loop and enjoy. At least that's my plan. I still need the gpu and KP ln2 pots but I'm very excited to try.... 2021 it is I guess

There is no way EVGA can do a thing against those reseler sadly.   But if we can pressure the government to rules against them at some point.   The money they make are straight into their pockets.  No taxes,  no income taxe from their gains.   Therefore, they should have to be considered as a self-employed individual and they have to abide and respect international commercials laws too.  The line is very thin between someone greedy with new stuff and kind of fiding a way of hacking website to grab stuff before everyone else and some one who tried the card and want something else after and try to sell it high since everyone wants one.
 
It should be illegale to sellback something at higher price than the manufacturer ask for if it still brand new.
 
As the time pass by they're getting better organized at getting stuff and selling it,  they are a plague to those honest buyers and to the companies too.
 
There are legit reseller like Bestbuy, Newegg, or any small comuter stores just to name some.  it's normal that they take a cut on the sales they makes, but they apply all commercial rules to respect the laws. 
 
We can speak endlessly about how to deal with those criminals,  but the gouvernment will have to make a move one day, before it's too late.
 
 

I'm 99% sure when you buy something and sell it, be it merchandise or something like a car. If you get more than what you paid for, that amount (profit) is income and requires to be taxed or can be considered tax fraud. But again, I don't think 500 bucks for one person is going to be troublesome, this is more for the high rollers lol

5950x and an x570 Dark Hero.
Got it finished last night, haven't had some time to get into oc yet.

Anyone here switch out the fans? I have 9 Lian Li SL 120 unit fans on Lian Li 0-11 air. 3 on top, from and bottom. I was thinking of placing KO on from(vertical GPU mount) and replacing the fans withSL120. I’m not confident with with where to lug the SL fans. 🤷🏽‍♂️ The fans are currently plugged into lian li controller. Any suggestions?

Love the SL120s. I ended up putting the KPE rad on the top of the case, exhausting up. Stock fans on top of the rad pulling, and 3x SL120s on the bottom of the rad pushing and shining their sweet LEDs.
3x more SL120s pulling air through the front/side of the case and the CPU AIO rad, and 3x more SL120s pulling air into the bottom of the case.

Installed mine that arrived last week last night, all good so far other than some hilariously loud (to my ears) coil whine (I've never experienced it before). I'm going to give it a few weeks to see if it evens out. It's not too bad since I wear a headset just slightly disappointed as I wasn't expecting it.
 
I also did not receive the radiator screws, but had plenty of screws lying around to mount the rad.

Can anyone tell me why I am hitting a power limit while pulling 440watts when using the 520watt LN2 vBios? Should it not pull power up to 520watts before hitting power limit?

it will power past that 520W even with it saying power limit.

Well maybe I'm an idiot(entirely possible, even likely) but I can't get beyond 440W in GPU-Z and perfcap looks like a christmas tree. No core/mem offsets just maxed PL/Voltage sliders in AB.
 
*Edit - to be clear, I'm not miffed about "low wattage" so to speak, I never really expected to pull big wattage unless OC'ing and using dip-switches/classified tool. I am miffed that I am being throttled at 440W.

Got it, thanks. They got back to me right before closing up for the weekend.

Lets do something easy...
Open up gpuz, click the question mark, put a check in render in full screen, click start render, now hit alt+enter. it will shrink the window to 640x480, now resize that window to 1920X1080 in one of the up corners of your monitor. On the gpuz window leave the white box open just move it out of your way, click the sensor tab and strevh it all the way down so you can see everything. Move that to the far opposite side of the rendering screen. Now, at 1080P you should be around 425W or so without doing anything.
 
Open up PX1 and it can sit over the render because you will be making changes on the fly to see what happens with power draw.
I just did this with 480W bios and it periodically hit 480W but bounced around between 435W to 480W.This bios is 480W max.
So running a 520W bios you should see around the same. That's with power slider and voltage slider all the way to the right.
 
Let me know if that gets you above 440W.

Just tried it briefly and while increasing the core offset I saw a max of 467W with Thrm, Pwr in perfcap. Tried to push core a little further and crashed so I'll try again shortly.

And it says that you are using the 520W vbios as well, that is correct?

Yep. I'll do it again after I shower and this time grab a screenshot. I'll do a run of PR too with screenshot. My perfcap was a lot cleaner looking during the GPU-Z render test than it was during my last PR run.

Cool.
Just so you know.... I am doing this stuff side by side with you using my card, but am on the 480W bios at the moment.
You can also use PR, just run it in loop/window mode. Once it's up and going put the tools on top and watch and make changes as well.
