What kind of QD s do you use, I was eye-balling an alphacool 1080 and running Artic P12s just wide open

Some folks like the QD4’s as they’re less restrictive but it’s very negligible imo and the 3’s are a little cheaper.

Great info. Curious what is the stock clockspeed on your card when you press the boost lock on PX1?

What kind of temps do you see under load? And clockspeeds etc. My card gets here tomorrow. Curious on what to expect!

Hi all! 
 
I finally got around to testing some last night with mine. AI don't have enough posts to upload picture but hopefully the links to 3dmark work. I think I got a decent silicon lottery on both the core and memory based on the clock and results. 
NOTE: There is a bug in the bios for Clock Monitoring setting on the OLED. It's always 1950. Never really changes and displays real actual clock speed during operation and testing.

Thanks for reading. 
 

Great info! Thanks for sharing! Did you change the thermal paste or fans? I know on my old 3090 I managed to drop my GPU temps by about 10C or so after swapping those two.

Nice card.

Thank you! This card is screaming for a proper waterblock. I think the PCB fan cooler is not enough to keep mem temps low enough to clock higher. Either that or that I have Micron memory, according to GPU-Z, instead of Samsung which are in my two 3090 FTW3 Ultras which I can push up to +1600 on PX1.
 
I'm going to make a chill-box tank out of a styrofoam cooler and submerge the radiator in a ice/water mix and see how low I can get the core. I really want to hit the 3Ghz mark.

Everything was stock. I do like the new look of the fans but I think the loud fans from the CLC360 AIO move a lot more air. Unlike the CLC products, I wish there was a way to view the pump speed or change it. Also wish we could see the water temp. The AIO doesn't show up on HWINFO64 or EVGA's FLOW CONTROL app. I know this card was made to be taken apart and for LN2 overclocking, but the enthusiasts all would have preferred a Hydro Copper version. That reminds me, I should double check all the screw and give them some extra torque. I have received cards in the past with loose screws straight from the factory. I do have an extra Critical Pads 3090 kit. but not sure if the thicknesses would ne the same with the copper cooler for the memory and VRMs on this PCB design. 

Yeah pretty unfortunate no waterblock is coming. Not sure why they don't just make the KP cards standard with a hydrocopper block. I always thought having an AIO was pretty lame. I might try using a lapped CPU block over the core and reuse the existing heatsinks for the vrms and memory and see if I can get good contact for some chilled water runs. Seeing as the memory is pretty terrible when sub zero, after some LN2 xoc sessions I see this card ending up in my gaming rig long term. Otherwise it's just gonna end up on the shelf.

The current HC models are due for a design change, the Delta is not that great for these high powered cards. I did see they added the HC kit, add to notify button yesterday . Hopefully in couple weeks I'll get the EK block for the Ti. interesting the FTW3 has the smallest chunk of copper of all the AIB partner kits. We shall see when they start shipping
