I can attest to this...My first card was a dude on memory over clocking and not that good on core with AIO and with water block. This current card on just AIO pretty much beat everyone of mine and just about every one else's records. So yes, good binned card on AIO or even Air can run circles around well cooled bad binned cards.

Looking at that heat sink it looks way better than the 3090 original one. Starting at 12:15 Also Jacob has confirmed that these 3090 TI FTW cards are all binned. Open yours to see what is written on the die. 😆

Do a system restart or a driver reset next time. That should correct the problem. Speculations of course. What is this run considered?

On my older card...about memory=1250 to 1400 and on core=150 to 180 on a really good day. New to me card. memory=1700+ and core=240+ Yes and this is where AMD is still smacking the stuffing out of Nvidia right now.... Stuck on 800Mhz does not look very inviting to potential buys....😆

Thanks! Yes, I remember just getting to the section where you ran into a string of bad luck right when the forums went offline.... The board I tested it on was a 400 dollar Strix board. I should have looked at the other settings, but I was rushing. Had the board booted up for all of 2 minutes because I was in a rush.

Maybe, but they could have just went about it the easy way though.😄 Thanks bro! I'm like thinking the same same thing myself.. Hoping there is no other shoe to drop.

Not sure if I'm having good luck or bad luck... 1: Hydro copper Water blocks cracks and leaks all over motherboard so I thought. 2: EVGA issues refund as they do not know if they are getting any new blocks in. 3: Asus Maximus Z690 Extreme can't run 6400 Trident Z5 in XMP so board gets axed and replaced with MSI Unify-X 4: Pump goes out on water block so 3090 KPE gets RMA'd. They cant fix it so they give me "new to me" 3090 KPE. Card is a beast! 5: I find brand new Hydro Copper block on EVGA forums and purchase so I have a water block for cards return. 6: Put water block on and card shows more improvements. 7: Now 1600 T2 starts acting funny. People say run Time Spy and it will tell you if your PSU is bad. Funny thing is, I was running Time Spy and it would just cut off and computer would restart. 8: One the phone with EVGA explaining the problem and now the cpu red light is staying on. Over clock panel is staying on and also the reset button is lit up. People with these boards know that these lights are all off when the board is powered off. EVGA as to restart and pop. PSU goes out and gives video card a PXE power error. Now I'm in panic mode thinking that something just happened to my beasty GPU. I swap PSU's and it boots and card is fine. (Close call!) I reconnect 1600W T2 and now board wont power on. PSU is on it's way to RMA. 9: With 1200W PSU the CPU light, reset button and over clock panel are still on. Calls MSI and now that board is on it's way to RMA. 10: So now i grab another board to keep me busy, but was not about to buy another Asus board as they did not have the Apex so I grab a MSI Unify board, and of course trying to run two sticks on a 4 dimm board at rated speeds is a project, but not as hard as it was with the extreme board. While there I decide to check some of the boxes against the batch number I got from Mr. Fox a few weeks ago, but they are well into the 200 range at my Microcenter so i'm like...uhgggg. And the MC employee is also curios about the new batch numbers. So I take a chance and grab one just to see. Get home and the chip boots and seems to run fairly well with crappy memory timings. So now im wondering what kind of chip i got in the lottery. Go back to Microcenter and they don't do chip testing so I grab another Asus board and test. I lucked up on a SP98. Wow! Now all this is to say.....had my water block not boke when it did.....I would still be back where I was. So what kind of luck would you call that?😆

Now that board is going right back. MC said they didn't have an Asus board on the bench for testing unfortunately.

So this is my new 12900K. I had to buy a stupid Asus board to find out the SP rating on it.🤦‍♂️

My man Prema, how you been sir!

Nice! That 3090 TI is definitely doing a a good job of holding it's own in port royal.

Okay, cool. Will check it out in a few. Looking good!! Yes, I do hear the coil whine on mine as well.... Not loud but I know its there. Let me know when you pass my 16080 score. That was the best I got on a few days of AIO. I see the top score so far is https://www.3dmark.com/pr/1502051 . I know you can beat him! LOL Side note: Your KPE was crap, just like mine. I had to seriously struggle to get to 15,7 for like months. Memory would only do 1394 on a very very very good day with a water block. And I basically beat all those scores on aio and nothing extra. All I could say was...wow!

So why not compare it to a comparable 3090....😒 Steve seems to do a better job though.

You know. I was seriously thinking the same thing until I got this GPU from RMA. It's been a long while since I had a KPE that actually was not a hassel to work with. With it's "dusty" AIO and missing thermal pad from the single memory chip on the front side....is a beast! I finally get to join you guys in the ranks of having a decent GPU for a change. With that being said...I'm cool on the 3090TI at least for now.(Need to see what it can do before jumping onboard) I could have grabbed one tonight from MC for testing, but was like...i'll hold off and let others find out what it does. Still trying to see just what this card can do. Also cant really say it devalues my card as 2% or a better example....I get 100 FPS in game and that card gets 102 FPS, is ridiculous to pay to upgrade. Going for records, yes...Anything other than that, oh hell nah!😆 And besides....near the end of the year the 4k cards will be out and your shiny new purchase will be worthless.....Unless..... they broker in another shortage of GPU's like the apparent growing trend with GPU's now a days. https://www.3dmark.com/pr/1503589

.... Better they sit on your 650 bucks than to spend it and not have it to give back...I always say.😄

Thanks sir! Yes, I know what you mean! That is a serious bummer to say the least, but in my defense I was not about to wait on that damn Optimus block that may or may not be made...made or may not be made and shipped in the near future. Block does look awesome though!

My HC also showed up today, but I have yet to install it. Looks brand new and never before used, so I'm pretty happy about that.

A few runs with new card still on AIO....

Why boot all the way to windows for that? You can see it without even leaving the bios? That was a feature I really missed the most.

Yes, you are right about it not being for the Z690 so I can't totally be mad about that, but one needs to be careful when one does not release what the software is doing on newer platforms. In other news. My Kingpin pump went out and this is my new card. It seems i have finally gotten a "God" roll on a card. Also found a Hydrocopper water block which says it should be here later today....but that is suspect on the arrival time.

Mine is locked at 1.435V. yes, that it does. Just wish you could do bclk and core at the same time. Also to add. The software seems flakey. If you change performance core it changes 4 of the E cores to the same speed as the performance cores.

Are you able to get past that 1.435 volts using that software? Hummm, mine is still sitting at default with a max of 3 drives, but I took two out for the time being. Still using the single fan though as the fan is for the ram. Love this controller! I had the 40W version, but when they came out with the 60W version I grabbed it as each of my fans can pull between 20W to 44W max depending on voltage coming from the PSU.

New personal best on AIO.
