Interesting, I'm running a 5800x, and can't for the life of me hit 5ghz in light threaded loads, I apparently have a "Silver" sample which is ok I guess, want to install a 5950x, but atm I'm having a tough situation irl with money and such lol

Silver isn't great but even still, overclocking and benching on the Ryzen platform is kind of annoying, not very fun. You probably have to tweak your PBO & memory settings some more, it takes a lot more trial/error with Ryzen than it does with Intel and Ryzen latency will always be limited by Infinity Fabric. I've pretty much settled on mine, nets me CB R23 scores of 22,640 multi-core and 1671 single-core.
 
If I were you I'd switch to 10900K/KF and save some money, then upgrade to Intel's new platform whenever it drops. That's what I'm going to try to do. At least you seem to have a properly functioning Kingpin, more than I can claim.

After some trial and error with X1 and nothing else (other than a 3900 move to a 5950 because 5900 woes.. meh), I was able to crack 15000.  I haven't bothered with tweaking much on my base RAM past XMP and haven't done anything with the 5950 yet other than let it ride.  I could push it further, but from an ever day use perspective, does this result seem pretty solid?  My original out of the box result was a smidge over 14k on Port Royal.

Everyone loving their Kingpins then? One day, after my 20 mile round walking trip to work, in the sun, with little water, saving people in need on my way after giving them the shirt off my back i too, will get on the bottom of the list to own one.

For stock with only x1 tweak breaking 15k is perfect

Personally I wish I'd have gotten a Strix + Optimus block and shunt-modded it. Most seem to be happy with their Kingpins though.

The ability to change voltage without an EVC or multiple EVCs is a great feature of the Kingpin 3090.

I agree it is a great feature, probably the most important one. I'm just mad my sample behaves strangely, expected more.

My Kingpin is a dud and makes me doubt they actually binned the GPU.  The GPU doesn't overclock well compared to the 9 or 10 other 3090 cards I've had experience with.  On stock voltage it achieves lower stable overclocks than most of the other 3090's I've owned and the other 3090 cardss I've had access to.  The memory starts showing artifacts and causing crashes with a +900 MHz overclock on the VRAM.  If the GPU was binned, I'd expect it to be at least a little above average on the max stable OC speed in benchmarks.

Hit 15,743 last night and got that number 1 spot for a 10700k/3090 and made it in the top 100 for single GPUs 😬

Lord I wish I had an Intel platform. Might see if I can make the switch.

Did you make that run on the newest update of Port Royal? I updated last night and noticed a regression in scoring of about 200pts, I knew I should have held off updating.

Yeah this was post update. I also reinstalled windows and optimized my system as well as enabling rebar so I can’t say how much the update would of afffected my score. Im hoping to push it a bit further and experiment with different voltage curves.

Oh okay cool, very good score man. I can't run the ReBAR bios because 520W bios doesn't work on my Kingpin. Stuck using XOC bios which scores lower on ambient in Port Royal. 15,550 is my absolute max no matter the voltage. Gonna sell this Kingpin when I get my 3080Ti, hopefully I can get off this Ryzen platform as well.

One thing I noticed was X1 behaved kind of weird at first.  I used to have a 1080ti in my system and had it installed previously.  The 520W didn't work for me originally, only XOC.  Then I got fully on let's redo the whole damn system, put in a new nvme HD (samsung 980 replacing the older gigabyte one), and reinstalled everything.  The ln2 switch then worked and I was able to push my power limit higher.  I didn't really see a big difference for how I was pushing my OC, but it did become an option.  I was surprised a little because I didn't think software should matter, but for me it seemed to be the issue.

Are we including liquid nitrogen?
