AFAIK, the fans that come with it are kind of weak, and would tap into the boards draw. I think plugging the fans into the MOBO fan headers or using a fan controller is a great idea. I am going to be doing that myself and plugging them into a commander pro. 
I have my card, but it's still in the box. It's going to be a little work to change my case layout around and I have not had the time.

Does the commander pro let you plug it into the kingpin so the kingpin can still control it? obviously you can tweak the speeds externally after that with the controller just never used one. Will pick up right now if it does let you do that.

No, you won’t be able to control those 3 fans or 6 whatever you decide, with any GPU software. You have to control them in icue. Unless their is some other way I’m not aware of.

I was just told by someone else that you can plug the controller into mobo headers (and GPU) and just create a custom fan curve in the third party software so it still is controlled by the PWM signal from the card.

since this is the *official* kingpin thread, I assume that the evga officials monitor it. Could you please post the link to the document for the 3090 kingpin that is analogous to the 2080 kingpin here
https://xdevs.com/guide/2080ti_kpe/#kpes
That document is very interesting. The realization that maxxing voltage and mHz no longer are keys to maximum performance took me a while to understand. Turbo boost behavior is complicated. Even more subtle were the oscilloscope traces that showed power fluctuations which the card responds to but these power fluctuations do not appear either in software tools (HwInfo) or voltmeter readings from the pins. Do we need to have an oscilloscope to REALLY KNOW what the 3090 KPE is doing?
 
Reading the threads on this board where people discuss the settings on classified tool seems like black magic-no measurements or even logic to guide the selections. I am not criticising. I appreciate the contributions of the moderator especially. But when he says something like
'1.125 nvvdd, 1.4 fbvdd, & 1.2 msvdd. both load lines on level 1 and disable both ocp' for a card with an AIO
And then Steve and Jay on their OC competition showed numbers in the beginning on AIO(at 1:12:27) like
0.7625 NVDD  ,1.36875 FBVDD,.8875 msvdd 
That is quite a difference.
 
Also they max out their switching frequency from 400 to 1000. No one even mentions their settings for this. I have no idea what it does or how changing it affects the card or the temp.
Also no one has mentioned any use of the dip switches and their settings? There are dip switches on this card right?
 
So in addition to the overclocking I *used* to do where I only twirled the knobs of core voltage, core freq and mem freq, now there is also FBVDD, MSVDD, 2 load line settings and 2 switching frequencies. Further more, the effect of temperature on these components is not symmetrically equal. Certainly, kingpin has notebooks full of notes on his overclocking adventures. Could someone at EVGA collate some of this into wisdom and anecdotes so we know how to think about these variables? Systematically changing each of these variables a little bit and stress testing will take longer than the time before the next two generations of cards to be produced. Certainly the engineers who designed these cards could shed some light?

@Cadillac94pimpin
Argus monitor allows you to control ANY fan based on the temperature (or combination of temperatures of any sensors using any algorithm you write). For example, I use gpu temp it to control the speed of a fan connected to the motherboard which is blowing on heatsinks I placed on the backplate of my watercooled Titan XP. The fans on the rad for the Titan are controlled by a combination of gpu temp and case temp.
 
There is also a free version on github that is functionally even better but I forgot what it's called. IT just doesnt look pretty.

Nice! I will have to look into that! I know I can use a custom curve in icue based on GPU temp but that's it, just GPU temp not a combination like you mentioned and that could work well.

Well that's totally impressive right there, excellent

Nice sli score. But still number 3 for single card.
