Cross posting this to this thread in case anyone has any ideas. My 2nd kingpin hybrid died this morning at boot . The video below shows the error I get on the OLED. System posts, card's pump powers on and runs. The card's LED does NOT turn on. The displayport ports obviously don't work.
To troubleshoot, I tried every 8pin PCIE cable I had in every possible combination in the card and in several different combinations from the PSU (EVGA 1000W) and I get the same error on the OLED.
Next, I plugged my 1080 TI back in and used two random cables from the test in the same position the kingpin used before it popped . The card fires right up and the system is fine now.
Someone please help if you have gone through this error and fixed it. I have reseated the card, cables, removed all non-essential devices (fans, controllers, cables, etc) but have not had an success beyond what you can see below in the vid.
Separately, I bought a 3090 KP HC kit when my queue position came up and just spent another $800 on water cooling upgrades this morning about an hour before it died . The hydrocopper plate is a really sweet looking piece of hardware. However, how in the world can I get comfortable with upgrading my hybrid KP card to HC when the card's life cycle is so unpredictable. I feel extremely foolish at this point with this level of $ spend.
