Edit: Referring to the KP Tie

But maybe there is any hope that Optimus will help make a 3090ti Kingpin block??

If they do, you'll likely see it shipped in 2023.

..and Bavor's not joking, unfortunately.
 
I've sent an inquiry to EKWB to see if they are planning to make a block - I asked specifically about two models:

• EVGA RTX 3090 Ti K|NGP|N HYBRID 24G-P5-4998-KR (since at this point there does not to appear to be any other KP model besides the hybrid)
• EVGA RTX 3090 Ti FTW3 ULTRA 24G-P5-4985-KR

If I get a response, I'll post it on this thread.

I'd be very surprised if they made a block for the KP Ti.  I don't think they've made a block for the KPs since the 980 KP.  Likely not large enough runs.

Same, I very much doubt EKWB will be producing a block for the KP, but I had to ask.
 
..I didn't bother asking Optimus about it, because even if they do plan on making a KP Ti block, it would likely be a very long time before we saw any get sent out - I would expect not until early 2023 at best.


Sadly, we may not ever see a 3090 Ti KingPin block from any source.. might just be the Hybrid, or Vince's LN2 blocks.   Wasted potential for non-LN2 users imo.

I thought the main reason for the delay with the Optimus KPE block was because of the complexity and technical challenges they had with making it both a fully-covered and double-sided block.
I thought I remember them mentioning some special spacing and tolerance issues, then they had to order some special material to correct those issues, which caused some of the delays.
Since a 3090ti Kingpin block wouldn't need to be double-sided, maybe they will be able to make a single-sided version faster than they did the 3090 Kingpin block?
 
Or, has Optimus always taken forever to make blocks?
Did it take them a long time to make the FTW3 block? I haven't been following them long enough to know.

Optimus have a history of delays.. best blocks on the market imho, but yeah, delays and broken promises...
 
Good point though, since the Ti KP shouldn't need active cooling on the backplate, maybe they will make one, but I'd still expect significant delays - that's just how they roll.

Thanks for the link!  
At least we know now that there will be an EK FTW3 block, so we can choose from an ICX FTW3 + an EK block, or whatever the Hydrocopper one is. If I had to choose, I'd go for the ICX + EK only because it's better resale value having both cooling options (and also there's no specs or price released for the Hydrocopper yet, although I'm presuming it has the same specs as the ICX FTW3 Ultra).
 
Not looking good for the KingPin though. Hybrid or LN2, that's it (so far).
 

Hope we get a KP TI HC block.  Going from the 3090 KPHC to the 3090 TI FTW3 HC sure looks like a wash on paper, esp if you are running the 1000w bios already
