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)?

This is very unfortunate. Not sure what may be causing these problems. I will say that my 3090 Kingpin was originally a Hybrid, I just installed my KP Hydro Copper kit like 2-3 days ago. And I have only owned this GPU for about 1.5 weeks all together. I have ran it very hard on the pre-installed LN2 520 watt bios daily ever since owning it. I keep the memory at +1700 to +1800 minimum. 


Have you used classified tool?
>>I have not used the classified tool.  The card itself is unaltered.  The rad has 3 additional fans on it for push/pull.
 
Have you used the dip switches on the back?
>>No.  I flipped the stock bios to LN2 when I benchmarked the card in Timespy to make sure it was in the right performance range and have run it in LN2 stock bios at stable +800m/+84c since.  Temps in the mid 50s under load.
 
maybe you accidentally ran too high voltage, with too high of a load line calibration?
>>I don't know how that could have happened .  The card popped at boot and I have only ever used PX1 with this card.  During troubleshooting, I did try different bios switch positions.  The latter made no difference.
 
 
The default load line is on lvl 1 which is wayyy too much in classified tool. It should be set to maybe 5 or 6, and honestly load level 7 is just fine for ambient water cooling.  I have carefully played around with sending more memory voltage to my card. And I can say from experience here, it’s easy to burn one of these up without being careful, or even realizing it, when using the dip switches and classified tool with PX1. 

You’ve gotta be careful with these cards. But going through (2) of them just doesn’t seem normal at all to me..
>>The first card didn't actually die - the AIO pump died.  Whoever gets that base card as an RMA will be happy.  This is a different issue.  I'm glad its not normal, that means 3rd times the charm perhaps.
 

Is the OLED display seated and plugged in correctly?  
>>I haven't opened the card to install the HC kit yet, I'm still getting all of my parts.  At this point, I don't see the benefit of opening the card and introducing additional risk of damage.

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:

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.

Pulled the trigger and bought the optimus kingpin waterblock - now have to wait 5-6 weeks

It's going to be a lot longer then 5-6 weeks. We'll be very lucky if it comes out that quickly. This is Optimus after all

I love the kingpin HC, very very cold, I cant wait to see the results of this block.

The more I look at this, the more I adore my 3090 FE.
 
STRIXes and KINGPINs clock lower and have higher VRAM temps. Embarrassing.

Hey Guys, so i ran into strange issue with my 3090 Kingpin. sometimes when I start port royal with ln2 bios and both nvvdd and msvdd switches enabled my kingpin draws between 450 - 480 Watts. The other time i start it with the same settings it draws 480 -520 Watts. I have this with px1 and with afterburner aswell. Ive also seen it in games where sometimes the game draws 440 - 470 Watts and after changing the map and then go back to the same map it suddenly draws the 500-520 Watts. Settings are always the same. What could be the issue here? Thanks
