Hopefully some KPE owners are still here to answer some questions for me. So I just picked up one these from micro center openbox for a crazy price. $1200 which i think is a steal. I was nervous about it but it seems like it was working even though it looks tempered with. I did some overclocking with precision x1 getting the core to 2175 and the memory to 8550, but I've been stable at 8700 but decided to turn it down since I saw memory temps hit 60c. Superposition 4k score is like 142xx. I see some people getting 2200+ on the core freq. Even with the classified tool and putting 1.15 nvvdd and fbvdd 1.45 I still crash at anything over 2175. Do I need to add more mv or is 2200+ done on the ln2 bios. My gpu temps never go past 45c.

I have yet to see the kingpin memory get that high and be stable. Most kingpins to my knowledge in fact usually benchmark scores start going down if over 8500-8550.  Memory temps at 60C are nothing to even think about worrying about though, the GDDR6 memory is good all the way up to like 96C before issues start arising. As far as core clock on average the kingpins were around the 2175 with the stock AIO cooler but there was a few people hitting 2190-2205 and some could only get 2160 as well, just the luck of the draw with your particular chip. To gt and keep those higher core clocks though your gonna need to keep those temps in the low 30'sC range. 

So I was able to get 2205 by bumping the nvvdd to 1.19 and changing the loadline to level 1. It was stable and gpu temps went to 50c but I was just doing this for benchmarking. Most likely I will stay at 2175 and leave the mem at 8300. My superposition bench score was 4490 which is pretty impressive. Thank you for the info though

Keep it cool and it will perform.
 

I have a crazy amount of pc fans as you can see from photos. I went over kill. Was thinking about a custom water setup. Besides ln2 or custom watercooling what options would I have on this card? Kinda new to this stuff

If you don't want to try the ice trick , the other thing to try is a water block for your KPE card and use an open loop cooling solution.
Sparetime has a thread about the Bykski block here somewhere .
I actually have one here too and they are very well made.
Ive also got a KPE dice pot here if you want to try that

Yes , they are expensive cards to brick.
2175 is pretty good on core .

Cod doesn't like RAM OC either .
With a KPE, there should be no need to OC when playing this.
Pointless going for 200 - 300fps on a 165Hz monitor for example.

Ok so maybe I'm doing this all wrong but let me ask some questions.
So I have the occt benchmarking app running because I keep crashing in many games. I run occt 3d stress test to look for errors and I'm throwing errors due to core clock. If I add +70 I'm fine anything above that throws errors and is mostly likely the reason I'm crashing. Now the weird thing is when I use classified tool if I add more voltage my core clock drops significantly like to 1950s but if I undervolt and leave the nvvdd at least say the .8-.9 I get higher clock speeds and no more errors thrown is that normal?

You have a KPE ?
Stop looking for problems .
Game .... COD will do well over 200FPS without touching anything . Don't OC your card while gaming as there is no need .
If you want to benchmark , depends how serious you want to get .
I will give you all the info and sites on how to make a KPE sing.
Risky but up to you .
You have seen my pics and cooling is the most important .
I use a chiller but if I want to really OC , I use ice .
 

Figured it out by the way. Turned out the power supply was the issue. I had a 1000w thermaltake about 4 years old now Just used my 850w seasonic from another build just to power the gpu and now everything is running stable.

Wow 700. When I'm using hwinfo64 running games or 3dmark the most I see is 310 max and thats with 1200 to the mem and 100 to core and power limit set high. im usually at 280w using 75% and 90% of power limit. My case can hold two psus so I have the 850 for the cpu and 1000w for the gpu. Is it normal to not hit power limits. Perfcap is always voltage reliability

That's excellent watercooling. 
If someone have money to invest radiators out of case is best option.
Much less dust and special if someone could afford some Koolance unit as your.
If not then Cubic radiators from Waterool, MO-RA3 360.
3x360mm radiators out of PC case, D5 pump on 100% and only tubes inside case.
 
 

Your 1000 watt psu is big enough for your whole PC with stock cooling, even if using xoc bios your not gonna use 1000 watts, what CPU do you have?

Yeah if your staying with stock cooling xoc isn't gonna benefit any. I would suggest flashing the ln2 bios to the OC position though and at least getting the max cooling and fan speeds available.
