Anyone know if its possible to show multiple stats in the kingpin window at the same time? Instead of just swapping one after the other. Like showing voltages temps and clocks in small fonts at the same time?

Will be interesting to see what difference it makes once the thermal tape is on. Have you looked under the back plate to see what EVGA put under there?

 
I have not removed the back plate, but I looked at a pic shows exactly where the VRAM is located.  So I changed my arrangement slightly after applying the thermal tape to be as follows:

 
I also upgraded to a Nuctua 3,000 rpm capable fan and slightly changed its location to direct a bit more air over the heat sinks closest to the motherboard.  I basically raised it slightly so that it was at a slight angle and rested on the CPU tightening knobs:
 

 
Turns out the thermal tape did not make much difference since the heat sinks made excellent contract and transferred heat quite well just resting on the back plate.
 
Here are my results with the fan at 2,000 (Current) and 2,900 rpm (Minimum):
 

 
I'm happy with the readings I get with the fan @ 2,000 rpm as it is relatively quiet where the 2,900 setting is annoying and only lowers my temp by 2 degrees max.

I did something similar with heatsinks direct contact with the backplate. Noctua fan on top or heatsinks. Reduced around 4-5°C.

So adding a high-end conductivity thermal pad between the heatsink and the backpkate won't help much reducing the temps? (I'll save around 40 bucks)

That's looking good. Even when you will do more work when your back is good again.

I won't open the card or back plate from stock.

As you can see my heatsinks are different. Two are 100x60x30mm and one 100x100x20mm because the ram blocks 30mm tall ones. My fans are blowing up.

My question is that if I put a 15k/w 0.5mm thermal pad between the backplate and heatsink will help or not much. I read in a post that it didn't help much to another person but it was a 6k/w thermal pad.

Do you know if it will make any effect?

Hi everyone, I received my 3090 Kingpin hybrid a couple of weeks ago and have been having a really weird issue. Sometimes after a random cold start the AIO pump decides to not start. I noticed this first time when I shut down my computer to work on something and then started it back up. As soon as my computer booted up in windows, the hybrid fan as well as the GPU temp controlled radiator fans went crazy followed by an awful "GPU OVERHEAT" message. I checked x1 precision and the GPU temp was on 90°C and rising. I was on the LN2 bios which apparently doesn't have safeguards so I panicked and turned off the PSU.

After some more panicking, sweating and uninstalling and reinstalling the video card it suddenly started working.

Fast forward to today and I decided on updating my BIOS. Same ordeal again. This is ridiculous. Any tips?

Edit: After trying all sorts of things I gave up, let the card sit for an hour. Plugged everything in and the pump started working again. The easiest way to tell if the pump is working is the hoses start vibrating. Still need to find a permanent solution because this is annoying.

The stock "LN2" 520W BIOS does still have protections in place - the card would've shut down automatically if it got any hotter.  You have to download the 1000W BIOS & Classified Tool to get a "fully unlocked" BIOS & that technically voids your warranty if they find out you used it.
 
I would suggest contacting eVGA Support/Customer Service (highly recommend doing so via phone) & seeing what they recommend, that pump issue should not be happening and it may indicate either the fan header for the pump is lose (rare, but it happens) or the pump is bad possibly.  They may ask if you're comfortable with taking the card apart enough to check if the plug in is loose or not - if you're not, RMAing it may be the only fix, if you are, I'm sure they can walk you through it.

Asked in another thread but I'll put it here for visibility - I have a 360 AIO on top as exhaust for CPU. KPE is up front as intake. 2 case fans bottom intake, rear exhaust. I notice that my GPU temps are great, but if I drop out and do something CPU heavy after a gaming session, my CPU temps are much higher than normal, I'm attributing this to not enough fresh air in the case, and the AIO liquid being hot from blowing hot air through the rad during the gaming session. A cold start my CPU temps are fine. 
 
SO - would any of these make sense: Rear intake to feed top AIO cold air? Top intake and hope the rear exhaust can move all the hot air from 2 AIOs? Front exhaust for KPE and hope the bottom 2 fans are enough intake (or possibly swap the rear to intake so all the air is back to front) 
 
Thanks!

Sadly I’m not sure my CPU AIO can reach. How much did your GPU temps raise by doing this?

I have a Lian Li O11D and gone through the same scenario as you. I placed temperature probes on each radiator's intake and exhaust. CPU radiator raises the air temp by ~5C degrees while GPU radiator shows 10-15C change. I ended up using the top exhaust for GPU radiator and side intake for CPU radiator. The GPU dumps too much heat to be placed as intake.
