Kingpin takes center stage in the new build. More info here: https://sprungmass.com/element-29
 

Beautiful build.  Love the copper theme to it.  Well done!  

Does anyone now if the KINGPIN is susceptible to whatever was bricking cards when playing Amazon's New World MMO?

There is a thread about this issue.  It seems there is more than just the programming issue related to this problem. Early users found success in limiting their frame rates.

I actually misspoke a bit here. Some reports indicated that the uncapped framerates in menus combined with overdrawing power to render said frames when equipped with lower wattage PSUs resulted in the issue, other suggest it was just burn out of capacitors.

Just insane!
So if these cards can handle 1.59v with ln2, where are the limits for people that can cool the card to let’s say 20c constantly?
I'm scared to push my card further. Currently I'm at 1.20625v with load line 1 and gpu temps are ~45-50c while benching.

Those are not safe voltages even for LN2. He has already killed a few cards

It boggles the mind how much money gets thrown away on these experiments.

Another Kingpin release coming soon...

It's pretty for sure.
 
I'm assuming there's a Hydrocopper model coming too.
 
Scared of what the price tag is going to be on these things.

Will be a shame if the rumors are true and the previous KP waterblocks don't fit.  Time will tell.

Yeah I heard somewhere they might move those hot VRAMs to the 'front' of the card somewhere, but that would almost certainly mean a new block required.

I think they're moving to 2GB chips, so same number of chips on the front side, just double in capacity for each.  So I would imagine the cluster around the GPU would be the same.

So I got a 3090 Kingpin, it failed within 48 hours, sent it back to EVGA and they just got it yesterday.  Should I call them up and tell them to keep it, then get in queue for the 3090 Ti KP?

Might be a long wait.  Even Nvidia hasn't released a drop date for the 3090 Ti.  And those images are just renders.  So maybe a few months?  So if you can wait a few months, and EVGA can turn your RMA into a return.  Then sure.  And who knows what the queue will be like.  Would be hard to tell where your place in line would be with Queue 3.0

Rumour  was 3090Ti kingpin would be released in March, for a little more than current version. I got the notification for the 3090 Kingpin a couple of weeks ago and decided to pass. Even before the 3090Ti  announcement, it seemed odd how EVGA was rapidly clearing the KP queue. After waiting 8 months, it seemed pointless getting something that's practically obsolete. Then again if the 3090Ti KP queue is an 8 month wait, it might be better to just wait for the 40xx KP.

Looking at this comparison of both Kingpins, don't think the current blocks will fit.

But I hope EVGA is a little more on top of the HC development for this one, 3090 lagged a few months.  No chips in a waterblock...

4000 series rumored for October 2022 (source), if there's a few months lag, the 3090TiHC might only come out ~4 months prior to 4000 series. At that stage it might be better to just wait for 4000 - particularly if you're planning on an aftermarket block from Optimus.. hell, by the time that came out (if they even make one), 5000 series will possibly be on the near horizon! lol.
 
 

Am I the only one who thinks the 3090 Ti kingpin will be closer to $2500 than $3000? It's not like there is a big market for a $3K msrp gpu. Let alone 8-9 months before the GPU market has cards that ship w 3x the performance of the current flagships
