"Do I need to adjust the angle of the LCD screen myself on the card, or is that done via Precision X1?" - you're joking, right?

Uh, no, I don't wanna break it if it's actually self adjusting, things do have those these days y'know, it was a serious question. lol  I'll take that as a "it is not self adjusting or adjustable via program" - back in my day we didn't have fancy LCDs on CLASSIFIED graphics cards, thank you very much. lol

It's manual only.
 

No Ejecto Seato cuzz, got it.
 
The more importante of the two questions, what's the general consensus on letting the firmware update or not?  Has the latest version of Precision been fixed so that it won't potentially bork the LCD's alignment (or break it all together) like I know as reported previously with some units, or should I hold off on that for now?

You'll need to try it. I got mine from the 2nd batch of KPE releases and updated the LCD firmware the same day. No issue. Let us know how yours overclock.

Lovely build. 
 
If you'd like, post that here if you haven't. 

Every attempt at mining in the background causes my kingpin 3090 to crash my system after a few minutes. Do you mind sharing your settings? Thanks.
 
Update: I think I found my issue. 

I received mine this week and updated the firmware with zero issues.

That is great to hear!  Congratulations again!

So far I must say, this card is already impressing.  I'm still on the Normal BIOS, being capped at 425-435W maximum limit, and I'm already hitting ~14.4k on Port Royal with pretty modest overclocks.  My personal best is 14.7K on my old 3090 and that was no where near 24/7 stable either. 
 
Given that that means I have another 100W almost in headroom once I switch to the 'normal' LN2 BIOS, I think this thing is going to be quite impressive overall.
 
Also, the temperatures on this thing are awesome, idling on the VRM/vRAM is in the 20sC(!!!), core is about the same as my 3090 Hybrid, unsurprisingly, and so far I haven't hit 50C load during PR testing, and the VRMs/vRAM is varying between ~45C-50C on the hotter ones & as low as 30C on the cooler ones.  Crazy considering the same type of testing on the regular 3090 FTW3 Hybrid was seeing temps in the high 50s & 60sC on the same components with the lowest being in the 40s.
