So finally got my KPE installed. Sad to see I can’t redeem my Call of Duty though I got a key, oh well.

Anyways this is my first KPE so what are some things I should know about this card and how do I go about setting it up to work the best?
Where should I go for more info
Looking to get the most of it without flashing a bios that will void my warranty

Thanks to all that help

    I recommend the evga forums. There is lots of info in here specifically for your card. Welcome to the club if there is a club 😉 (There’s a club, I think, we’re all in it #kingpin4life)

    Does 1000w bios really void warrenty?



    The thing about the 1000W BIOS is, now that it's out in the wild, they would have to prove you had that BIOS on there & that's what killed the card, to void your warranty.  If you stay on the AIO cooling, I wouldn't even bother with that BIOS, because you're only going to be able to get up to around 600W before the heat goes beyond what you're capable of cooling with the AIO cooler, and the gains you're going to see from that extra wattage are not worth it at all.
     
    You can pretty much just use the Classified Tool to do slight voltage bumps, if you want to, and get ~2200 core stable with something between 1000-1500 on the vRAM stable depending on how lucky you get with your memory.  My VRAM won't go a smidge past 1250MHz for benchmarking without crashing, and it isn't stable for regular/gaming usage much above +1000MHz (on stock voltage).  Because I can run 2160MHz core @ 1068mV (which is an undervolt) with +1000MHz VRAM, I haven't tried to push further with the Classified Tool, because those numbers are pretty great for when you combine that with how cool my card still runs.
     
    I would recommend checking out my thread on cooling the backplate-side VRAM on the card, that will help lower your temperatures & allow you to run more stable, higher OCs, with cooler temps, just requires some thermal pads, heatsinks & if you want to go "extreme" like I did, thermal paste.

    Should be noted, Pump Noise is a simple magnet away from being fixed in most cases.  I have magnets on the way to fix mine - my card used to be quiet but something happened during the swap from a 9900K/Z390 system to a 5950X/X570 setup and now it's a noisy pump... but I've already tested it, a simple single magnet over the center of the pump unit makes it more silent than it was before.

    Didn’t you get the card in January? The 3090 thread on OCN is a good resource. I am seeing best results with the LN2 bios position (520w). Flashing the bios to 1000w doesn’t improve my scores at ambient temperature. Just find the core and memory offset that is stable and you are good to go.

    Thanks I’ll check it all out
    As for the pump noise I’m having issues with my Aquero being recognized so don’t have full control of my fans so with 65 of them running I can’t hear the pump atm plus I’ll be putting it in my custom loop first chance I get

    You need to post pictures of that setup, because a TH10A, even with a pedestal, shouldn't* fit 65 fans...

    I will once I get it all working. 7 radiators in push/pull. I just went full overkill.

    A magnet is not a realistic solution, though.

    This is just a ghetto setup just to get it working. Flow meter needs to be replaced abs block on the LPE, I’ll clean it up then
