Hi guys, just wanting to let you all know that if you remove your shroud on your 2080ti Kingpin to reapply thermal paste or are removing it to install a hydro copper when they come out be very careful when removing the fan shroud. The OLED is mounted directly to the fan shroud and plugs directly onto the PCB without any extended wires or ribbon cable. Pull the shroud straight up or the PCB straight up and avoid any twisting or tipping one side or the other while trying to separate them.

This may help >https://xdevs.com/guide/2080ti_kpe/#oledkit

 
 
 
But I ask this question when installing the HC and was told you use the Current OLED and HC comes with the Mounting Hardware for it.

 
Not the way my card is, there is no extension cable like that, its a direct plug onto the pcb board with an angled socket pointing down on the OLED so they have changed somewhere along the line.

It comes with the Kit, Not seeing the Kit anywhere to order one.
Not sure what comes with the HC but Jacob said it comes with what you need. 

Not saying it doesn't but they have changed the layout of the PCB between what shows in those photo's and the way my PCB is. That OLED connector is in a different place on the PCB and the back of the OLED is different as well. So i don't know if my card is before or after that photo but its for sure different.

Maybe post a photo of what you are seeing.
 
So the instructions are wrong on the website as well?

Can't right now i have the card back together and in the computer but yes the photo's on the website and layout are different then mine.

The K|NGP|N Hydro Copper kit will come with its own OLED display. It will not require removing the one from the Hybrid shroud due to warranty concerns and difficulty of installation.
The card does have two independent headers for the OLED depending on if the original shroud is used or the kit is used.

Better answer then what I was given before
Also why I still think the cost will be around $249-$259.
 

Per EVGA's Jacob F on Twitter:

EVGA_JacobFYou use the OLED from the Kingpin card.

I remember that from a while back as well but seems they figured out it just wasn't going to be that easy. At least we now have some newer insight as to what is going on, chances are we know the price is probably going to be higher now as well then others are.

This makes me very happy because I was worried about this in terms of fragile components when taking the stock shroud off. I’ll gladly pay more for this convenience.

Just curious, but if there is two places for the OLED to hook up, and the one from the shroud is removable, is it possible to Frankenstein two OLEDs on to the HC when we get it? This may seem absurd but I love all the screens I have on my board, GPU, and PSU showing all my info at a glance.

I don't think there is 2 places for the OLED to hook up, its just they moved the position of the 1 on the board.

Could just get another monitor and have PX1 open on it showing all those numbers and the HWM open as well hehe.

Crappy news about the HC block coming with its own OLED screen. Needlessly increases the price and leaves me with a useless OLED screen to collect dust, not the best solution tbh.  Should have just released and gave instructions on how to migrate the OLED panel to proper position to facilitate installation of the HC block. We're all enthusiasts here, I'm sure we can all handle the installation process.
 
What is the stock of these blocks going to be like? Are they going to be extremely limited? Will there be enough made to ensure people can still pick one up over the summer months? I'd be super bummed if I couldn't get one.
 
Someone suggested that they limit the purchase of KP HC Blocks to those that have a card in their cart for checkout, or those who have already purchased and registered the card on their account with EVGA. I would support that 100%.

Makes it easier to change out if an RMA is needed.

Yea that was the original plan but after some testing we found that it was just too difficult to swap the OLED for an average user and we didn't want to have any damaged OLED screens.

I agree with limiting them to those that already have a Kingpin card or those that are essentially buying one at the same time.

I think maybe implementing a system in place kinda like the Associate Code when you needed one to access a 2080 Ti KP, maybe the KP owner could use the individual Serial # off of each GPU(s) as a way to access a KP WB so you don't get the scalpers snatching as many as they could.

Right on! Need to add a known KP serial # at least to get access to the copper! Not needed if the system was smart enough to be able to check your account for the KP registered card.
