Live: KINGPIN 2080 Ti Overclocking No Power Limit, Ft. Bearded HW

We're overclocking the EVGA KINGPIN 2080 Ti with liquid nitrogen, and without any power limit! The target is 2500-2600MHz, featuring Joe Stepongzi.

We've completely removed the NVIDIA power limit with an XOC BIOS for the EVGA RTX 2080 Ti Kingpin card. We're also using the Classified OC software, liquid nitrogen, and KINGPIN's new Icon pot. Our goal now is to see how far we can push memory and GPU core, hoping for at least a 2500MHz GPU core, but we'd like to see higher. Join the stream to see if we can do it!

Gamers Nexus, People were saying that loop order didnt matter, and then you started talking about how GPU temps effect clocks. No one is arguing that GPU temps don't effect clocks. The point is that once loop temp equilibrium is reached, the loop order wont effect the temperature of the GPU or the CPU by any meaningful amount. Those temps are going to be determined by the heat energy dissipation capacity of your radiators

[@Y0oUrMama]

And here i thought ambient temp was key.

[@SoupRKnowva]

Yes of course ambient matters, but changing ambient temps arent going to have an effect on whether loop order matters or not, that would be assumed to be a constant

[@Lead_Foot]

@@SoupRKnowva Depends how much flow/restriction you have and how extreme the power draw is of the components. I got up to an 8C coolant temp difference from coolest point to hottest point in a loop with a 380w power limit 2080 ti + 2950x pulling 250w with 5 x 360 radiators and a single 140. Even with 2 x D5s in serial @ 100% it was too restrictive to reduce the temp difference between sensors so I had to split it into dual loops where there would be only one heat source per loop and more efficient flow since serial pumps doesn't double flow. The 2080 ti eventually got moved to my 9900k rig. The 8C would have been enough to drop a second 2080ti's boost clock by like 30MHz if it had been placed in the the wrong part of the loop.

[@SoupRKnowva]

@@Lead_Foot That's a pretty extreme setup, both in the heat you're dumping into the loop and in radiating power! an interesting data point for sure :)

Would like to see LN2 cooling of Radeon vii

[@VeggyZ]

I agree with your comment on gaming - but I am a huge gamer. It's only as much of a waste as the fun you get out of it, and yeah it IS the same thing. Just like how I enjoy tossing new parts in my PC even though it already runs every game over 4K at high frame rates with near instant load times blah blah... there literally isn't additional GAMING performance to be created with it - yet, I will still toss new parts into it before terribly long. LN2 is "pointless" as a cooling solution. It's not pointless from a testing perspective - and PC enthusiasts naturally become tinkerers... it's only about as pointless as anything I do for sheer enjoyment. I don't find gaming to be "pointless", I find it to be one of the best expenditures of time I can make. It's the time I enjoy the most. That's got to account for something.

[@ccleadge]

nope c4/plastic explosive only burns when exposed to fire (its actually a viable solid cooking fuel for camping/hiking)

[@MTBScotland]

These RIP and overclocking streams have made me get some older GPUs for O/C. currently have most of the hwbot records for the R7 250x. The older cards with the dumb buck controllers make is easy to pencil mod the resistors for more power. cooling done with a cheap ebay waterblock.

Don't lump the 1650 with a 1030 lol. The 1650 would be great for introducing ppl to pc gaming. I had a 1050 ti before my 2060 and it was surprisingly good on 1080p.

picking all the good gpus for kingpin thats why my FTW3 ultra 2080 ti sucks does 2040/2025mhz after getting to running temps

[@skoopsro7656]

And my ftw3 ultra hybrid does near the same clocks as my kingpin.. so just because you lost the sil lottery doesn't mean EVGA is downbinning their other cards

When overclocking RTX cards step up in multiples of 15 on the core. So +30/+45/+60/+75/+90/+105/+120/+135/+150 ect...

[@ConeJellos]

The boost bins aren't multiples of 15 btw. So you are misinformed.

[@skoopsro7656]

@@ConeJellos if you look at 3dmark scores the kingpin cards run at 2130,2145,2160,2175,2190 most commonly on air. So maybe your misunderstanding me or I phrased my comment poorly, but these cards for a fact run in offsets of 15mhz

[@RavenVapes]

I wish with these OC streams that they would focus more on the overclocking then super chats, joe seems to be doing all this work, adjusting clocks, running benchmarks and the talk is about signed mouse pads, they need to have a dedicated camera focused on the OC screen, so the viewers can see what is happening, what settings are being applied and what high scores are getting broken! I came here to see how far a KingPin card can be pushed, not hear about someone wondering if they can get a signed mouse pad.

[@BeardedHardware]

Crow sometimes it’s hard to please everybody... we’re working on future things to show cool shit in the future

[@RavenVapes]

@@BeardedHardware In the stream you beat der8auer and K|NGP|N scores by 200 points for single GPU, there was no talk about that, there was no in depth conversations about what clocks and settings was used, it was 3:43:39 talking about super chats and a mouse pad.

[@GamersNexus]

@@RavenVapes We upload recaps of streams. Watch those instead, as that's clearly what you want. Also, we didn't really consider these to be record scores as we can do better, so no need to talk about them.

[@RavenVapes]

@@GamersNexus maybe instead of telling people to go watch your recap, where your voice over puts people to sleep, cause you suck at reading from a script, that you teach your camera man to set up more then one camera . get someone to monitor the stream, and i dont know maybe get a stream deck so you can switch between cameras, like all them kiddies over on twitch, then you can be the biggest shill you want to be, reading out your $1 comments

@GamerzNexus I recently purchased a rtx kingpin card and i had a little glitch with my memory. It for some odd reason down clocked 200mhz to 6800mhz total, temperature was 36c and it had been idling on windows for a couple hours. and I defaulted the card back to the original settings and it still wasn't working. A system restart finally defaulted the card back to 7000mhz on memory. I wanted to ask if you have had any issues regarding any memory down-clocking.

@@kins888 I was told this by a science lab technician while working in his lab. You can literally put your hand into a cup of LN2 and the leidenfrost effect protects you. The only time they where gloves is when handling things that they froze. The safety glasses they used was to protect their eyes if a beaker broke form being frozen too fast.
