Oh and the E-1 will get it's Lilly booty beat by most any closed looper out there , j.s. 
I so Don't understand this build, Asetek AIO's are ok but not top notch by any means

I think it's a showcase thing. "Look! All top of the line EVGA products in one case."  Really it's just the frame that's the new thing.  I don't anticipate them being big sellers.  A product for people with too much money on their hands and not enough time/sense to do a build themselves.  I'm thinking they probably won't sell the case/frame by itself.

Really wish these cards didnt come with aios.

For next gen it would be a great idea IF blocks were available. 4090 kingpins should be hydro copper only imo.
I took a chance and grabbed the 3090 kp hybrid since I never got the notification for the hydro copper. Also lucky to get the hydro copper block kit for my card....
 
 
 

I do wish they would sell the Guage set for the E1, I would by that !

Jacob has said recently a couple of times very soon for release. He expected an initial launch by the end of the month, but the entire run should be very limited.

Yup.  He reiterated the release date target is by end of this month (June), but limited quantity in a recent tweet.  So just wondering what limited quantity is: 5, 10, or the most 15?

Vince posted a pic of like 14 bare cards weeks ago ,
and so if you are behind me, I will probably pass , so there's that.

has anyone tried this  Bitspower Enhance VRAM Water Block for GeForce RTX 3090 Backplate, Nickel/Plexi on the kingpin backplate or know if it will fit

If you wanted to try it , I think you would not want to change or adapt the back plate to fit it and loose the ability to rma your card. I have the MP5 backplate cooler and I am not using it because it doesn't fit real well with the clips and....Temperature is not bad on a KPE . This was +105clk +1250 mem and maxed out sliders, card pulls 478w for 20 runs TS extreme and the hot spot is 70, GPU 52 high, mem temps = 45-60.

Now if you can get the Bitspower backplate and not mod your stock one it would be interestingto see, but the stock one with stock pads is not that bad.

Is there any update on the 3090TI KP card yet? Vince posted the shroud of the card on his Instagram exactly 7 weeks ago today. On Monday, it will be exactly 7 weeks since he posted an image of a bunch of bare KP cards face down on a table as well. In both post, he talks about cards coming soon, yet no word or anything. With the announcement of the arrival of the 40 series cards, I figured these would have a rush on them at this point. I've sent an email to customer support a few times wanting to know if they had a date potentially, and I got exactly what I thought I would get, and that is that they do not have any information on it at this time. It is just getting later and later at this point and I am starting to wonder if we will ever see this card.
