Yeah def the riser. Not sure how that behaves or if it gets anything from the 6pin slot power assuming you have it connected

Make sure you connect that extra 6 pin if you’re benching (or in a daily where you’ll game or possibly draw a lot)

Right on, I haven’t personally ever benched cards with riser but I know people do it. Can’t speak to 30 series and def not 3090 Ti with its massive vrm

Already regretting delaying my delivery but oh well lol

After I mounted it I tested with the 3090 KPE and there wasn't any difference in my max score in PR.

The weird thing was that I tested with the 3dmark pcie bandwidth test and somehow it was slightly higher with the riser.

Before when I had issues with the riser it just wouldn't display a picture. After reseating a couple times it would work and I never had any pcie whea errors. That said, it has a visible warp in it so I've got one ordered. I don't think where I have the radiator mounted it'll reach the pcie slot so this is going to be a pain.

its possible they want to bundle the PSU with the kingpin because of all of the 3090 KPE failures and this one has been specifically tested

I'm sure its just EVGA unloading old PSUs.  The current 1600 watt design is rather old and EVGA has been releasing newer versions of their lower wattage PSUs.  The new 1300 watt and 1600 watt models have to be in queue for an upcoming release soon.  

The P+ models were just launched middle of last year tho so i doubt it’s anything more than trying to sell extra units they made when demand was high.

• - most likely (imo) bundled the 1600P2 with the 3090TiKP to make sure people use an adequate power supply for that GPU.
• - pure speculation: possibly the 3090TiKP has voltage spikes that a lesser PSU cannot handle? - again, pure speculation, but it would save a lot of RMAs.
• - perhaps all 4000 series cards will have 12-pin plugs, so EVGA are offloading as much existing stock as they can to make way for a new line of PSUs with 12-pin PCIe plugs.
• - EVGA are just being generous after the last couple of years we've all gone through (I would not expect this from any other company but EVGA).
• - liquidating stock, which could mean anything...

Damnn, 3090 ti KPE can be bought from the webstore directly now. 

Ahhh, no wonder you don't see any on ebay. LOL. that and no miners to hog them up and it's not that in demand as the other KPE's in the past. yet, I still bought one. Doh!

Strix bios is fine im talking stock bios’s they arnt very high power limit

fwiw, i asked the evga oc team guys about the 1000w vbios and it seems it is not available for public consumption (yet?) - waiting on a more official channel response and hoping something materializes soon as my cards wil be here tomorrow and wednesday 
 
won't be able to refill until this weekend earliest so not too bothered by it

They may not like it that both the original and reBar 3090 KP 1kw bios leaked.

I reached out to Vince via his webpage, he said they were looking to release the XOC stuff this week.

good to hear, cens says it isn't even needed this gen, but more interesting to me is the comment about the strix vbios, which some folks have def flashed to their 3090 ti ftw3:

There's a pretty good chance that since he got his early, and I think disassembled ready for ln2, his came with an XOC bios

not likely it arrived with the 1000w flashed, and i'd expect the oc team works to help test the xoc bios...but his comment that it isn't needed just tells me even on LN2 he wasn't hitting the power limit of the stock vbios

fragility_V1

Yah, I'm not sure about his statement either. LN2 bios is only like 520W and can easily be hit.
