Hi i just need some suggestions on what fan i should place on the back of the kingpin Im thinking two like op did up there. If one is fine I will go with that. Also wondering what heatsinks I should use that i can get from amazon canada. Deciding between a few noctua fans but any further suggestions is appreciated. Thanks everyone

One should be fine.  Look for something that fits the visuals of your build - the airflow rate doesn't really matter as long as it's blowing air over the back of the card - it just needs some airflow, period, doesn't have to be a ton.  I only run my backplate fan on maximum if I'm gaming or benchmarking, otherwise it stays at ~900RPM, completely silent. 
 
I personally run EK Vardar fans, they're pretty plain looking but they move a lot of air at 900-1000RPM, while being quiet, and they move a crapton of air at full speed but are a bit loud.  The one on my backplate specifically is currently an EK X3M, but I'll be replacing all of the X3Ms eventually with regular Vardars, because the X3Ms I have on my bigger radiator have visible gaps that I don't like thinking about how that could be effecting airflow.

 
Be aware if using an Aquero or any Aquacomputer fan controllers Vadars are known to have PWM issues and when used with a splitty they will overload the signal causing the Aqeuero, Quadro or Octo to only see full speed or off. This can be avoided by using a Splitty9 Active or using another brand.

This is due to the RPM signal being present on every port of the Splitty9 for Aquabus use. You'll need to disconnect the RPM wire on all the EK vardar fans, except one (control), that are connected to the Splitty9. Otherwise If you only intend on using the Splitty9 w/ the EK fans you can clip the RPM prong on each of the fan headers except 1. This would allow you to leave the Vardar Fans alone. 

Hi guys! Does anyone know the radiator fans Air Flow CFM specs of the Kingpin?
 
I will like to upgrade them with higher flow fans.

Not really aware of what the stock fan specs are, I do know they're basically trash fans though.  Some of the worst I've ever seen on a stock AIO, they're loud as heck at full speed, they have giant gaps that allow way too much "back draft" out of the fan when it's fully speed, and I'm pretty sure their actual air pressure is horrible.  Basically any "decent" CFM fan that's designed well will perform better.
 
Keep in mind, if you have the space, that people have shown that running push/pull on the Kingpin's AIO radiator can improve temperatures quite a bit, especially with high static pressure fans.  Anywhere from 5-12C reduction in temps have been reported by folks depending on how aggressive their fan speed & type are.

If there's a PWM issue and too many fans are loaded up on the splitter, might need the SPLITTY9 ACTIVE since it boosts the PWM signal.

The SPLITTY9 actually has a single header for RPM readout labeled 'RPM'.  The other headers by default shouldn't be sending any RPM signal at all.  Been using them for years.

Sixxgunn,
I'm glad that it helped someone and appreciate you took the time to share.  For your Kingpin mounting, in the show us your 30 series gpu thread Olaf has the Kingpin vertically mounted in his build which is using a O11XL case.  You can look at his and see how his came out.  There are different Vertical mounting kits that can be used that have different mounting points for the gpu so that it can be moved closer to the mobo/glass.  Other also can allow the movement up or down using the various slots in the case.  You'll have look at your case/layout to figure out which one you want.  I went with the kit from the Lian Li Lancool Mesh.  It only has one mounting point from gpu so you want to run a capture card then it wont work for you, but it did allow me to have the option to move it up or down since the O11XL has so many slots in the back.  The one thing to watch is the length of the Gen4 cable.  Link up offers them in a variety of lengths and mounting angles so be sure to do your homework on that as well.  I bought the right angle 20cm PCI-E Gen 4 cable from amazon in the 20cm length because it was the length that came with the lancool vertical riser kit.  It was way to long for my build, so I had to tuck it which is common.  In hindsight the 15cm would have been better in my build for my setup.  But even if it was a bit long, it worked and allowed me to utilize the gen 4.

I have to say, same thing right back to you.  I appreciate the time people spend around here to help.  It's not ALL salt and spice and you're a perfect example.  Thanks for the links and advice; I ordered the cable and bracket and going to give that a go.  What I failed to mention is, I'm using a Cooler Master C700p case, and while it's absolutely friggin' awesome, it's just a **TAD** too wide for the AIO's tube length.  Seriously, we're talking an inch, maybe less, but it's just a hair too short mounting it stock.  I have a backup plan to add a row of fans to the other side of the Kingpin rad in order to push the rad itself out that 1 more inch and see if that works.  I'm really wanting to stick with the vert mount, but just in case, I have a plan to fall back on.  Again, thank you for the time and links.  He's got a great build there.

As for getting yours, hang in there.  I know it's easier to say once you're name's been called but it's all I can do.  I've come to think of this group as a sort of "Band of Brothers" thing.  We stuck together through the battle of GPU Shortage 2020/2021 and we're still fighting....haha.

Hello!

What is the thickness of the thermal for the kingpin? I can not find information and I would like to replace them

Hi all, I just got a notification this morning that the Kingpin Hybrid I got in queue for months ago is available and I've since picked up a 3090 FE and am trying to determine if this is worth picking up and selling the FE. I have a loop and am trying to figure out if there are any water blocks available but apparently it's only the HC and they are out of stock and one needs to queue up for them. I'm also curious as to what the memory junction temps are like with the Kingpin HC. My 3090 FE is under EKWB Vector Special Edition block with Memory Junction temps of ~55C while gaming @ 114% PT and ~68C while mining Ethereum @ 70% PT (105 MH/s).

Hey guys, I'm having trouble with my kingpin and was wondering if anyone would be able to help. The mini display at the top started to malfunction. I don't believe it's a firmware issue because the display worked fine after it was updated. About a week or two ago, I noticed the image was not being shown correctly. The left side of the screen had a faint image, without color, while the right side looked dim. Now, the left side of the screen is entirely black and the right side is dimming. Anyone have any idea what could have caused this / if it is fixable?
 
Thank you!!!!
 

That sucks i would contact evga for a replacement screen.

That's a sick card. Hope u get.it fixed
