Turbo-12R
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.

FTW3 is a custom layout.  Kingpin is a custom layout in of its own on steroids.  


Unless it's a reference GPU, you still have to make sure the block is the right one for said GPU.  There aren't any cross over GPU blocks other than universal blocks which aren't full sized blocks as they can be used across different GPUs since the socket hole spacing is usually the same. 

The FTW3 is the closest it has ever been (for a given GPU generation) to a "reference" PCB for the 30-series cards - as indicated in reviews of the PCB by places like Buildzoid/Gamers Nexus.  That is part of why the FTW3 cards have been mostly unimpressive compared to others in terms of OCing potential.
The Kingpin is a whole different beast, the whole power layout is more beefy and that's just one of a few big differences.

I made it all fit. lol  And yes both sides close normally & do not touch the sideways 280mm radiator.
 
I dunno if anyone else noticed, but the stock radiator fans are actually straight trash.  Gaps between the fan blades are huge which means their static pressure is very likely utter garbage.  Swapped to EK Vardars while doing this rearrange, gonna be gaming shortly, we'll see how the temps are... 

What model and size EK Vardar fans did you use for the radiator fans?
Thanks.

Standard 120mm ones, they're the same fans that come with their AIOs (which is where I got them from, long story), here's a link: https://www.ekwb.com/shop...120er-rgb-500-2200-rpm they are not cheap, but they have great static pressure throughout the rpm range & they move some serious air if you're willing to listen to them a bit louder.

I've got those as intake/push and an older version of these as exhaust/pull: https://smile.amazon.com/...TVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Hey everyone, 
 
so I am having a little issue with overclocking my 3090 kingpin and hoping you may have some input/idea. 
 
I have been following a few overclocking guides which include the rtx classified tool (with or without this tool) I can not seem to overclock the memory beyond +1200. I have seen a bunch of videos of people blowing past +1200 mark without a issue. Id like to note that when I go past the 1200 mark my pc completely restarts instead of just stopping the benchmark. I found this not normal but can not seem to find enough posts about a similar issue. 
 
specs:
10900k (cooled with an optimus cpu block)
z490 aorus xtreme
64gb corsair dominator platinum 3466.
1000w gold psu
 
This shut down issue will happen in normal, overclocked or ln2 bios, I set the cpu to stock default settings to make sure that was out of the equation. I was just running time spy as the benchmark to get an idea where I sit and the gpu core clock is 2205mhz with an average of 2102mhz and gpu temp not going beyond 50 degrees. It all seems solid until I move up the memory a touch. I am likely missing information to help you help me. If so please let me know :) 
 
**Edit: At the same time I am truly not sure what the memory can oc too on the kpe, maybe I am at the top of it for stock state cooling. I have just seen a few videos of those going way beyond.**

Means memory is unstable. It’s normal. I think 3090 KPE doesn’t have memory error correcting which lower performance when memory is unstable. Instead it just reboot your system. It could be Vince designed this way to prevent wasting time in performance loss on LN2.

I’d recommend to set the fans at 100% speed and cool the backplate as much as possible with an external fan. Memory is very temperature sensitive. I use +1100 for daily and +1250 for bench (when backplate is well cooled). If you use classified tool, you can try 1.40v memory and see if it helps.

Thanks for the reply, I meant to mention I do have the fans/pump at 100%

I will try bumping to 1.4v to see if it helps it out. Thank you!

Let us know. Memory doesn’t scale that well with voltage (at least on my KPE) after 1.40v, temperature is more important. If it does help and don’t want to use classified tool for daily, You can use one dip switch on the back of the card for FBVDD. It would go from 1.375v to 1.3993v and both dip switches on would be 1.4125v.

Wicked! Thank you. Going to give it a go now.

Also here's the beast just to show I guess what I have. I know we have all seen the 3090 kpe but this one is mine lol.

Also lots of non pink fans out there.. So I expect the hate haha.

I bumped up to 1.40v but unfortunately I can't push 1300 on memory. It will make it part way through benching before it will shut down the pc :/
