Anyone heard anything about the Hydro Copper block? Thank you

Delayed till 2021, can you buy provide what the max core voltage see stock on the Kingpin card. I'm seeing 1150mv seems hi

There isnt any word past delayed until 2021. I figured the HC would be more in demand due to the higher end demographic. Im really hoping they offer the HC as a standalone block to registered kpe owners or something.

Just to toss my tidbit of info. My setup is in sig.  Best I could do in my 3090 ftw3 ultra was right at 14000 in PR.  With just about 30 minutes of messing with the kingpin my best PR is right at 15000. This is on the LN2 bios but nothing else besides just playing around in X1.  Maxed power target, 140 core, 1100 memory OC. It holds a solid 2140-2160 boost clock and stays in the 45-48 degree range without any special cooling (no pumping in cold air or anything). I did set it up in a push/pull setup though. 
 
Overall I'm happy with the performance jump from the ftw3 ultra. 

Tonight I used the same settings but just opened the window next to my pc which dropped the run temp from 49 to 39C and managed to get a 15226 score which is good for 64 place on the port royal leaderboard. So I'm good with that.

Nice! They do seem to scale well when ran colder. 

I have a question for the people in this thread, as this will be my first Kingpin, and first GPU with AIO, figured i would ask here for help. The fans that will come with the kingpin, do they have to be plugged into the fan headers on the GPU, or can i bypass those connectors and connect aftermarket fans to a commander pro? Like if i put 3x ML120s on the rad instead of the stock fans, can i just hide those connectors from GPU and still control my fan speeds and lighting through iCUE? 
My thought process is i can plug the PWM and RGB cables into commander pro, monitor GPU temps via the iCUE software and it would still run the same, and i can control the internal fan through PX1. Similar to how i am running my NZXT Z73 AIO ... does anyone run it similarly or see any issues? I just want to ask as i do NOT want to brick my card doing something stupid.

That is my plan. I'm going to swap the fans with Corsair fans and plug then into a Commander Pro. It can be done but as you said, the harness would just have to be managed.

You can .. but one thing you COULD do is to use both if your case allows. I have mine setup with the included fans in the "side" of my O11 xl Case, then have the Radiator mounted, then have Corsair ML120 fans plugged into a commander pro on the other side.  This sets up a nice Push/Pull setup on the radiator.  You do have to set a fan curve for the stock fans in X1 then control the rest in iCue (I have a total of 10 ML120s in my case including the ones plugged into the H150i Elite Cappellix)

I was looking at this as well, i have the Lian Li O-11 Dynamic XL case as well, and will be putting my KPE Rad in the Side/Back slot as well. So push/pull is definitely possible. With yours, do you have the rad and push fans in the rear and only the pull fans on inside? or rad and pull fans inside? 
I like my ML120 fans, but the cable management is a nightmare, been looking at going with the Lian Li UNI SL120s if i can get my hands on them, cut down on the cables.
