How? Lol

Not gonna lie this is pretty sick! I mean, it is a real bummer and downer it's on that wack AMD junk mobo/chipset/chip as the KP is worth of so much better, and Vince probably kill himself, at least vomit if he saw his SKU's being associated with such junk but yeah, I dig the look kinda, yeah.

This is so cringe.

Guess ill post my loop.
Don't feel like moving the case to take a better image, but you can see my imgur album of the build in my signature

You're so cringe TBH. And seriously can you imagine KP's cringe knowing his glorious card is associated with such a lame chipset/chip. Vomit 🤮🤢🤮

I mean that looks really nice, but my mem temps are 66 fully loaded with this block, unlike my strix block and ftw block which sees temps over 98.

So far on Ebay there's been one block sold, and three more available right now.. So frustratingly annoying to see that happen. I somewhat understand the cards, but now blocks are being scalped? One person is starting bidding at $1,000…. I mean c’mon. (And what’s worse, it’s one of us). Broke b*+-#es

Well Elite is required, and pretty sure they frequent the forum since they obviously were at the front of the queue. That’s why I said one of us, but agree they’re jerks. Opportunists do what they gotta do, just never thought I’d see the day GPU “accessories” are being scalped.. lame/crazy times

I figured that would happen as well. But I really don't understand it. There are not that many KP cards out there. The waitlist for the HC kit can't be that long. Would someone who really wants one actually be so lazy and just plain dumb with their money and pay ebay scalper prices?
Can a person know for sure if it sells and how it sells for?
 
It's pretty sad for everyone involved, seller and buyer. 
 
who the heck is the clown offering a couple extra Kingpin cards for sale?!??!?!?!? He has to go. I love how he keeps saying SKU's as if it makes him sound professional or something? From what his remark about market share and everything else he says it's obvious to people who actually know that he has no clue what he's talking about. 
 
There's a quote from an ancient greek that I love, it can be translated several different ways and many others have claim credit for saying but goes along the lines of " I'm smart enough to know how stupid I am." This guy shouldn't post anything on the internet again until he can understand that.

The mod he's speaking of to add heatsinks & such to the backplate is my doing - https://forums.evga.com/3090-Kingpin-amp-others-Get-that-backside-VRAM-cool-m3219773.aspx it resulted in noticeably cooler VRAM temperatures, both before & after I added my block to the card.
 
During a stress test I've run as a "equilibrium" for a while now to be equal testing on each setup, my Memory Junction Temps started in the 70s, the heatsinks/etc on the backplate brought it down in to the 60s, and now with the HydroCopper block, they're down in the 50s.
 
The fan itself does help, because the card comes with thermal pads stock that transfer the VRAM chip's heat in to the backplate (which has a single copper heatpipe in the middle of it that goes over the backside of the die).
 
 
 
Also, anyone insulting AMD like they're inferior at this point clearly has issues with comprehension skills... AMD is just plain better now, in every way, particularly for CPU workloads.  Intel isn't even in the same ballpark core for core at the moment... and AMD has higher core count parts for similar prices compared to Intel's SKUs.
 

This statement is partially true but in all honesty it rings "Fanboyism" (no offense) while ignoring  the most important aspect of 9th 10th and 11th Gen Intel.
Speed, plain n simple.....multi tasking....Video Encoding..handbrake etc etc that really require and can utilize all those cores, absolutely hands down AMD all the way....looking for higher Cinebench Scores...yep AMD....some becnhmarks whereby CPU scores improve overall score...yep.AMD!!!..
 
...for straight gaming...its still Intel....especially when you consider video processing data fed by these crazy fast GPU's...you want as much speed out of your CPU as possible out of as many Cores as possible.
Intel CPU's can still OC like a banchee vs AMD...handsdown  (AMD OC'ing just plain sucks) 8c/16t pushing 5.1 Ghz - 5.2 Ghz and now with Gen 11 pushing all cores to 5.3 Ghz that is absolutely amazing and your 3080 / 90 will thank you for it, especially teamed up with some fast low latency Memory.
 
I have a number of "buds" on OC.net....n HWC's that have those new 5900 n 5950 chips and Im not seeing many that can run all cores at 4.65Ghz stable or near stable....maybe a few cores, but even then were talking about gaming....certainly not core dependent multi tasking
 
Its impressive if you have all your cores at 4.65Ghz stable (not just enough to post), can you throw up a screen shot showing P95 Small FFT AVX (latest P95 w AVX) about an hour in....along with HW info or CPU-Z ?
 
Looking forward to seeing Alder Lake and the "Big" / "Small" cores....sounds pretty cool on a 10nm die...will be interesting to see how they incorporate speed of the Cores...also moving to DDR5 Memory!! DDR4 is now yesterday in the PC world..as was DDR3 before that.
Building a brand new system I would likely go with a 5900 build (maybe but again I like to OC).....I certainly wouldnt ditch those previous Intel Gens for a new AMD Build, not unless you really need all those cores!
Otherwise simply not worth it....better off to hang on and see what the pre release Alder Lake reviews look like this Fall......sure glad to see AMD back in the game as it keeps Intel moving ahead!!
 
Up until Intel Gen 9 I was all about HEDT ....never thought I'd see Mainstream above n beyond HEDT......I'll be curious to see if Intel has anything in the works to replace X299!!!! Although now that multi GPU is pretty much dead, no big requirement for all those PCI Express Lanes either...perhaps HEDT is Dead ?!
