15 919 is the best I could do with the new Optimus block without really pushing voltages:

Not going to be able to push it too much higher without getting ambient down. Hard thing to do passively in SoCal. "Winter" may be over.
Ok, that is great! Thanks for the post, been waiting to see of someone had the Optimus block.
Do you mind posting your settings, BIOS, Dip Switch positions, Mem and Core offsets?
How do you like the block? Any issues installing. (I don't want to hijack the thread, but looking for first hand experience with the KP Optimus block. Mine is on order.
Thank you!

1000W bios, don't mess with the dip switches (didn't think they did anything that the classy tool couldn't), +240 on the GPU, +1400 on Mem, Classy settings below.
Running mid-to-high 20s at idle, and as you can see in the run, was only getting to high 30s during the run, may get into the 40s if the room is warmer. But great performance.
Only issue installing was a that the cold plate wasn't properly seated and was leaking during an air pressure test. Basically loosened, reseated, and tightened everything at least once (sometimes more) before it could hold air. So I'd suggest going over every screw before installation and make sure to pressure test before filling. There's another user who had a similar issue, so I'd check everything to be safe.
Oh, and I was missing a screw. Had the same size in my bin-o-screws, but would have been a pain otherwise. So check to make sure you received everything.
Overall I like the block. A little disappointed in a few things:
1) I ordered the statin nickel finish and was under the impression it would match their signature block finish (I think they may have said the finishes would match at the early stages of KPE development). That's not so much the case. They're both silver, but my signature block is the silver they had before they started using the cerakote finish (you could only get it in silver), so they are two entirely different silvers. If I knew this was going to be the case I would have probably went with black.
2) The finish isn't perfect. There are drip marks here and there in the corners that are noticeable, but when the block is installed horizontally you don't see them anyway. Vertical mount you may notice them up close.
One thing of note, I'm a little concerned when I try to pull of the back plate eventually I'm going to rip something off. The full size thermal pad is nice in that you don't have to worry about anything, but with the mounting pressure required everything on the backplate is going to be smooshed into the thermal pad. Going to be some stickage, so just going to have to be careful.
