I'm in queue for the 3090 Ti Kingpin but at his point I'll probably pass, who knows when it will launch and when my queue spot will come up. Already passed on a 3090 Ti FTW3 step-up.  Have a 3090 Kingpin.

Welp, looks like I'll be going FTW3....

 

Thanks, didn't realize they had put it on pre-order already. Now I've got to decide whether to go with or without the active backplate - not sure it's needed on the 3090Ti, although obviously it doesn't hurt, lol.
 
edit: Screw it. Ordered the whole enchilada.   - it feels good to have a date (mid July).. and I trust EKWB will stick to that date too, or very close to it.
 
Now I can look at doing my rebuild since I have a 2 month window to use the 3090 Ti on air. Didn't really want to rebuild my existing loop and then find the block was coming out the next week.
 
 
 

Definitely wish I had the money for one of these):

I just happened to see another thread where they noted it had just gone on sale.  I just went with the non-active backplate (after putting an initial order through for the active).  Thought there might be some issues running an active backplate with a Z690 Dark with that honkin' heatsink.

No worries, I'll be vertical mounting it.
 

I ordered the one sided block too, from the looks of the print it only looks like you would need about 10 mm on the back side clearance but it's one of those things you don't know until it is in hand.

screw the block, has he given any indication of when they'll start shipping kingpins? i think i'm giving myself a hard stop of tomorrow for this now. i want it but 2 months before 40 series, potentially? 3090 Ti kingpin will prob be smashed by 4070 XC3

Had I known it would be months for the KP, I would have bought two 3090 Ti FTW3's on launch day and done a nice air cooled SLI setup on a Z690 or X570 FTW board.

yeah same, i would have bought the ftw3 on launch day but maybe i'll just wait for b stock and bench it after 40 series comes out

Yeah, I'm feeling the same way. Even on launch day I was having second thoughts given the small performance difference from the 3090 and new cards being only months out. But now, with new cards RIGHT on the horizon, it's so much harder to justify.
