Bro... Just realized that OLED flipped by looking at this forum.  SMH.
 
Hey, need advice on a GPU waterblock from EKWB for the Kingpin.   Anyone tried to fit it into one yet?  Just now starting to research.  Seated the card as hybrid for the time being.  Planning an overhaul on the wall PC build.

EK is not making a block for the kingpin. neither are alphacool, watercool, bitspowers, etc. only EVGA and optimus will be making blocks for the kingpin
 
look at it from a marketing perspective, it's a very limited release card that already comes watercooled from the factory, either with an AIO cooler or full cover block. how are you going to sell any blocks for that card? the only reason optimus is making blocks for the kingpin is because they make blocks to order (they will only make a block once someone pays for it) and they can charge stupid sums of money for it. 

Does anyone know if there is a firmware or BIOS update needed when installing the Hydro copper kit on the hybrid?  Also, is there a way to get X1 to show H/C and not Hybrid?  Thanks for the help

I love my Kingpin! The memory is just beastly! What an amazing gpu for only $2,089 bucks. 
 
Right out of the box it runs 2,025Mhz and I have bumped the memory to +1650 so far. I am just amazed how fast, and how well it overclocks! 
 
It is essentially the fastest 3090 available. (Right out of the gate) no need to really OC in games. But its a fun and very fast GPU!

The HOF has that record, but they only two year warranties which sucks. What is the average OC clocks on kingpin? Question for everyone who owns one? Have the opportunity to buy one.

If it’s msrp or not far away then buy it!!  Best value 3090 available (I bought my 3090KP Hybrid at MSRP) (And the KP Hydro copper kit at MSRP) Anyways, Right out of the box, it’s going to mop the other cards. Just a super fast gaming GPU with no OC needed and it’ll be 100% reliable. And it will run under 50C all the time, no matter the load (That’s under 50C on the default LN2 bios) (It can manage even better if you enabled the standard bios) 
 
I have been playing with overclocking while gaming just a little. And my card will hold 2,160Mhz-2175Mhz with just the hybrid AIO cooler. (I have no door on my case) No need to do this of course we’re talking about something you can’t even feel at all. And it’s plenty fast bone stock at its 2,025Mhz for gaming. Your not going to get a solid answer here. Because it depends on the load of the application, how hot the card is, and how good the card may be. There are people running 2,390Mhz+ daily. They have water chillers of course lol. So how far the card will go is 100% dependent on how good your cooling is. 
 
I have just installed the Kingpin Hydro copper kit, and I have yet to play with any overclocking since mounting it last night. But the memory, and VRM’s are already running about 40-50% cooler. These components are not watercooled directly with the stock KP 360MM AIO hybrid setup. (Only the die is watercooled) 
 
Anyways, I say go for it! These are excellent cards! Any model 3090 will run that 2.070Ghz to 2.1Ghz on watercooling with enough power... So don’t listen to these people saying their Kingpin card can’t even do 2,000-2,055 lol. That’s just silly.  


The 3090KP isn’t going to make up for bad overclocking skill. But no matter how you slice it, it’s the fastest 3090 out of the box running (stock) and considering it’s already watercooled. It’s an amazing value.

It is part of a build, cannot buy it separately. Need a new rig anyway, so I am considering it. I usually go full water cooling anyway, the the AIO on it seems more than adequate.

I just received my card from RMA and have to say the gpu is better on the core but worse on the memory. My old card had issues to hit 2145mhz on the core constantly with the 520w bios but was stable with +1500 on the memory. The new card can easily hit 2190mhz but gets unstable at +750 on the memory.
I will start pushing the card once I receive the HC Kit.

Try the 520 watt LN2 bios, then retry the memory OC again. I believe it sends different voltages or possibly has different timings maybe VS. the OC or standard bios. 
 
Because my normal +1700Mhz on the memory is stable on the 520 LN2 bios in games. But not the normal bios. (It went down after 2 hours of gaming) 
 
Or you could try increasing voltages with dip switches.
 
But, temperature is everything here. So everyone’s clocks will be different. 
 
 
 

I'm on the LN2 BIOS (that came with the card) already. 
Mem is unstable above +750, so I won't touch it for a while.
Using the the full tdp of the 520w bios I was able to score 15288 in PR which is ok for the Hybrid version I guess:

Well, I actually haven’t even used them yet. I just got my Kingpin Hydro Copper block installed very early yesterday morning. So I am going to start with Classified tool, dip switches, and XOC Vince bios very very soon.

That’s looks so clean man. Excellent set up

Thank you very much. I am really enjoying this KP 3090 on the hydro copper block. Such an amazing card
Hey could you kindly please edit your quoted post here and remove this picture please? It has my SN in there. I would greatly appreciate that.

those switches what are they for?

They are dip switches, they will increase voltages manually to the memory, or the GPU, and another item
too..I forget off the top of my head. They each apply a different amount of voltage manually.
I do plan to use the memory voltage switch though. I want to push past that +1,700 barrier. 
 
This card will essentially let you burn it down if you want from what i’ve read. 

Learned after buying my 2080s a few years ago that buying the hybrid and converting it to hydro copper is the way to go.  I do it this way because I build my custom loop into it then when it's time to upgrade I convert it to hybrid and move it to another machine.  Also easier to get rid of if I don't want it at the end of things.

Enable both of the fsvbb dip switches on the back of the card. that’s memory voltage. 


I am testing +1800 right now totally fine. With 1.470V memory voltage.
 
 
I run a KP Hydro Copper block so my memory temps are outstanding! 


 
Enable the dip switches and try again.

Cross posting this to this thread in case anyone has any ideas.  My 2nd kingpin hybrid died this morning at boot .  The video below shows the error I get on the OLED.  System posts, card's pump powers on and runs.  The card's LED does NOT turn on.  The displayport ports obviously don't work.
 
To troubleshoot, I tried every 8pin PCIE cable I had in every possible combination in the card and in several different combinations from the PSU (EVGA 1000W) and I get the same error on the OLED.
 
Next, I plugged my 1080 TI back in and used two random cables from the test in the same position the kingpin used before it popped .  The card fires right up and the system is fine now.
 
Someone please help if you have gone through this error and fixed it.  I have reseated the card, cables, removed all non-essential devices (fans, controllers, cables, etc) but have not had an success beyond what you can see below in the vid.
 
Separately, I bought a 3090 KP HC kit when my queue position came up and just spent another $800 on water cooling upgrades this morning about an hour before it died .  The hydrocopper plate is a really sweet looking piece of hardware.  However, how in the world can I get comfortable with upgrading my hybrid KP card to HC when the card's life cycle is so unpredictable.  I feel extremely foolish at this point with this level of $ spend.

Ouch.. you were using 3 x 8-pin cables right? (have to ask). Looks like it's just the 8-pin header that is having an issue, if the same cables are ok with your 1080. For the same issue to happen twice to you is strange. Check every 8-pin outlet on your PSU going to the 1080, in case it's not the card or the cable, but one of the 8-pin outlets on your PSU. Also what sort of PSU and wattage are you using? (ok, I see EVGA 1000W). Have you tried a different PSU (if you have access to one)?
 
One other thing, does your motherboard have an extra power header to supply power to the PCIe slots? If so, give that a try too, might help.
