I am soooooooo tempted to get a NVLink bridge from eVGA & run the 3090 FTW3 Hybrid in SLi just to see what I can push, but I'm afraid my PSU would get angry having 2 of those beasts hooked up at once lol
I'd be held back by the regular 3090 FTW3 Hybrid only topping out at ~2070-2115MHz though.  Still, would be cool to do once or twice.  I might do it, but investing $90 in to a bridge I'm only going to use for a day or two ish meh.


Oh, come on now. You know you want to be like K|NGP|N with that dual KPE score...   You can always buy a bigger PSU!

Turns out the NVLink bridge available from eVGA is the wrong size, and I can't find anyone that makes a 3-slot (compatible with my motherboard) NVLink bridge that's compatible with the 3090 cards (the teeth on the card are different than last generation NVLink stuff).
 
Does anyone/has anyone used a Riser Cable before & had a good quality one they could recommend someone else buy?  I'm seriously considering vertically mounting my Kingpin purely to have it on display because that copper is amazing & it's a shame it can't be seen more.  Needs to be PCIe 4.0 compatible for future upgrades.

Here is a riser cable, the pcie 4.0 cables are still kinda hard to find I believe. As far as 3-slot nvlink for 3090 the only place I've been able to find them is to inquire at exxactcorp.

I'm using an ASUS Strix riser cable to vert mount my 3090, very good quality riser cable, but it's not PCIe 4.0 compliant. ASUS don't have a PCIe 4.0 one (yet).

Wow that's a HUMONGOUS case! And I thought the Lian-Li O-11 was big. Which case is that?
 
Keep us posted on the difference in temps after the fan swap. I'm planning to swap the stock Kingin fans with the Lian-Li SL120



Thermaltake View 91 - and yes it is gigantic (and expensive).  With all the glass on (my front panel glass sheered off in shipping, which was actually nice as I was planning on removing it anyway to unrestrict the front airflow) it weighs about 70lbs, she's a bit of a heffer.  
I typically only buy a new case once in a blue moon, so like when I buy PSUs, I tend to go all out/go for the one I really like the looks/long term viability of.  This thing has a massive amount of liquid cooling support (it can actually fit a radiator in the front area there, I just took the brackets out that would hold it).
Example of someone else's tricked out LC setup in it:

 
Right now I'm doing OC testing going for personal records so temps are kinda out the window... but in the run I just finished, at +150 core, it only got up to 50C in Port Royal - so the fans are definitely helping, previously with the stock fans I was seeing 54-55C at these settings.




That does look heavy. lol  I surely know the feeling. 
 
If I had to guess, mine weighs 100+ cause of the HDs, amount of fluid I need to use (240/360/480 of rad) while inside a Corsair 900D.  It won't look as compact as yours as the case is massive.
 

The Hydro Copper was removed since it failed on me.  2080 Ti Black running on air.

Yeah the case is 70lbs empty - she thicc.  I can't even imagine how much it weighs with 2 AIOs, a beefy PSU and all the fans I have in it.  Anytime I move it, I take the glass off first, each panel is pretty hefty, being tempered glass  that's just over 1/8th inch thick.

I ended up ordering a Phanteks riser cable after a few people recommended it: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H7MHHP6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1  It'll be here Wednesday along with some lil' heatsinks to stick on the back of the video card for some better heat dissipation.

So a question for you Kingpin users....will for example the EKWB water block designed for the FTW3 Ultra also fit the Kingpin card?  Probably been discussed before so apologies if it has.

No.  Different PCB/component layout.

Definitely not, the Kingpin's PCB size is quite different, as is the layout - pretty much the only things that are identical are the spacing on the GPU & vRAM chiplets, I think, everything else is different:
 
3090 FTW3 PCB: 
 

 
3090 Kingpin PCB (blurry, but you can see, it's different):
