The shroud could be soggy spaghetti for me, I just want that sweet sweet waterblock action.  (No news, not looking hopeful)

Function over pretty for me. Pretty adds to cost.

If there is ever going to be a 3090 Ti KingPin block at all, it would appear that the only one would be an EVGA Hydrocopper, and there is zero confirmation (that I'm aware of) that even a KPHC block will ever happen, unfortunately. That's why I'm waiting on EK for the 3090 Ti FTW3 Ultra block (which they confirmed is coming) ...and waiting... 
 
My 3090 Ti FTW3 Ultra is still in the box unopened, but not sure I can wait much longer, I might just have to go ahead and rebuild with a CPU only loop soon ..it's been a while since I've had an air cooled GPU.

Yeah single loop.. one would want to pre test that card before going threw all that and then find out theirs a problem and tear it all down.

Besides.. ya would also like to know the before and after temps haha.

Very good point!

lol.
Maybe they're throwing in a free pcb like they do with the Z690 Dark KingPin motherboard.
 

That'd be a whole lot of SMDs on a free PCB.  The previous 3090 KP PCBs they were giving away I think we because of a board redesign.
 
I wonder what that step of QC it is when there doesn't appear to be any power connectors or other headers.  Just checking connectivity?

So, do you think this is all 31 of us ?

I saw Jacob responded to someone's tweet about 3090 Ti FTW HC and he said it had been delayed with no ETA. Not sounding great for a Ti KP HC.

Man I read fragility’s last post there as the kingpins being delayed with no eta and it almost ruined my week lol

Delayed? Damn.. something must not of passed Vinces's specs. If so, atleast they caught it before they sold and shiped them to the people.

No, KP Ti is not delayed as far as I know (although with no release date, hard to say it's delayed), Jacob said the FTW3 HC is delayed.  So as far I know KP Ti will be still coming out "soon".  I was speculating that delays with the FTW3 HC don't bode well for a KP Ti HC.

Oh ok..

When mentioning the KP Ti, there is only the Hybrid option planned at present - there is no sign of a KP Ti Hydrocopper even planned as yet. I could not get any confirmation that there is a KP Ti HC in the works either, although I'd be a little surprised if there isn't a limited run made eventually.

Right.  Jacob had said there was no decision on a KP Ti HC either way.  So left some room open for the possibility.  He did imply there would be a decision if they would make a KP Ti HC before the KP Ti Hybrid is released, but we'll see.

Yeah making it real easy for me to stick with my 3090 with now talk of a delay and no eta on a hydroblock for the 3090ti or kingpin.

Sucks for my son.. though he don't need my 3090 as he is having fun bragging about the 2080ti Kingpin w/ hydroblock in his rig to kids at school! Haha

He is 13 and he told me the other day he was asked what pc he has.. he tells the kid he has a Kingpin! Fastest card out there.. and the kid comes back and says.. naw.. the GeForce is faster! Hahahaha

Told him to tell the kid to go watch YouTube videos of the Kingpin gpu.

That kid is so wrong...Quadro all the way...

At least he didn't say AMD.
