Hi i just need some suggestions on what fan i should place on the back of the kingpin Im thinking two like op did up there. If one is fine I will go with that. Also wondering what heatsinks I should use that i can get from amazon canada. Deciding between a few noctua fans but any further suggestions is appreciated. Thanks everyone

One should be fine.  Look for something that fits the visuals of your build - the airflow rate doesn't really matter as long as it's blowing air over the back of the card - it just needs some airflow, period, doesn't have to be a ton.  I only run my backplate fan on maximum if I'm gaming or benchmarking, otherwise it stays at ~900RPM, completely silent. 
 
I personally run EK Vardar fans, they're pretty plain looking but they move a lot of air at 900-1000RPM, while being quiet, and they move a crapton of air at full speed but are a bit loud.  The one on my backplate specifically is currently an EK X3M, but I'll be replacing all of the X3Ms eventually with regular Vardars, because the X3Ms I have on my bigger radiator have visible gaps that I don't like thinking about how that could be effecting airflow.

 
Be aware if using an Aquero or any Aquacomputer fan controllers Vadars are known to have PWM issues and when used with a splitty they will overload the signal causing the Aqeuero, Quadro or Octo to only see full speed or off. This can be avoided by using a Splitty9 Active or using another brand.

Beefy looking card, holy cow

It sure is.

This is due to the RPM signal being present on every port of the Splitty9 for Aquabus use. You'll need to disconnect the RPM wire on all the EK vardar fans, except one (control), that are connected to the Splitty9. Otherwise If you only intend on using the Splitty9 w/ the EK fans you can clip the RPM prong on each of the fan headers except 1. This would allow you to leave the Vardar Fans alone. 

Much easier to just run Gelid/EK fan splitters with a single PWM header running to a controller or your motherboard like in my case.  They get power directly from your PSU via 4-pin Molex, so there's never a power issue (since each splitter only supports up to 4 fans), and the PWM signal cable that runs off the splitter to your motherboard or where-ever is quite long so cable management isn't too bad.

Hi guys! Does anyone know the radiator fans Air Flow CFM specs of the Kingpin?
 
I will like to upgrade them with higher flow fans.

Easy may make someone "Elite," but it often never makes them "Extreme."
 
Nice scores you've got thus far, btw.

Not really aware of what the stock fan specs are, I do know they're basically trash fans though.  Some of the worst I've ever seen on a stock AIO, they're loud as heck at full speed, they have giant gaps that allow way too much "back draft" out of the fan when it's fully speed, and I'm pretty sure their actual air pressure is horrible.  Basically any "decent" CFM fan that's designed well will perform better.
 
Keep in mind, if you have the space, that people have shown that running push/pull on the Kingpin's AIO radiator can improve temperatures quite a bit, especially with high static pressure fans.  Anywhere from 5-12C reduction in temps have been reported by folks depending on how aggressive their fan speed & type are.

I'm looking now for this ones:
https://www.newegg.com/ic...pressure%20fan-_-120mm|fan-_-4
 
Also I think the best for performance are this ones but they are not RGB: 
https://www.newegg.com/noctua-nf-f12-ippc-3000-pwm/p/N82E16835608052?Description=120mm%20static%20pressure%20fan&cm_re=120mm_static%20pressure%20fan-_-35-608-052-_-Product
 
So I think one of the best option for performance and good looking between these two fans is the first one, right?

If there's a PWM issue and too many fans are loaded up on the splitter, might need the SPLITTY9 ACTIVE since it boosts the PWM signal.

The SPLITTY9 actually has a single header for RPM readout labeled 'RPM'.  The other headers by default shouldn't be sending any RPM signal at all.  Been using them for years.

Hi I need some help. So recently I finally got a gpu after msi rma refund with 6800xt. I was looking for a 3090 and couldnt get one at msrp . I was on reddit in Canada hardwareswap and someone offered me a 3090 kingpin near msrp so i took it. Fast forward to today I just got it and when I tried to install it I didnt realize it wouldnt fit. My o11 dynamic cant fit the 360 aio on side because of my h115i and i cant switch them because the 280 wont fit on the side. Im trying to think of a possible solution and only one I can think of without putting a rad on the bottom, is that I need a new case. I'm thinking maybe the o11 xl. Will that support my h115i and the 3090 on the side? Any replies or other solutions is greatly appreciated.

Matt, since no one else replied I'll provide you the info based on my build.  I don't have the Kingpin yet but am planning an open loop system using the Lian Li O11XL.  The XL version can support rads on the top and on the side.  The top has provisions for the 280mm rads if you are using it or it can accept a 360mm rad. The Kingpin has a 360mm rad so it could easily go on top or on the side if the tubes are long enough.  You might have to vertical mount the GPU though since the case is so large and the distance from the standard gpu mount to the side rad area is kinda far when considering how the fluid tubes exit the Kingpin.  If you use a vertical mount GPU kit, you will reduce the distance between the rad and the gpu so it would help in reducing the distance between the two and the routing of the fluid tubes.  Going to a vertical mount you might be interested in picking up the PCIE 4.0 riser cable from Link up to continue using gen 4 PCIE connection.  Some vertical kits provide a 3.0 cable so you would need to change the bios in your motherboard to 3.0 prior to installing the vertical mount kit unless you buy the 4.0 cable.  
 
If you top mount the rad for the gpu and do not use a vertical mount kit for the gpu, the tubes still might hit the glass because of the way the tubes exit the gpu.  
 
The rad position on the bottom is intended for open loop rads or fans.  You should avoid putting an AIO rad there.  Hope this helps.

 

Gotspeed, You just answered a question I was looking to ask about going riser with the Kingpin.  Thank you for the input; your information helped at least 1 person....
