August 23, 20195 yr Author I would be really grateful if you had one to spare for me. How much do you want? Do you have the mounting plate for the Turing cards for this pot?
August 24, 20195 yr I have a tek 9 fat in very good condition. Shipping from sweden, so no taxes. Don't have turing mounting but it is not needed. Just use the inner holes on card. It fits, I have tried. PM me
August 24, 20195 yr Author If this information is of any use: I want to use the pot with the kingpin 2080ti.

Well that happens with all cards. I've got a 3d Printer. I'll probably will make my own backplate so that the pressure is even and the card won't bent. My concern is more that the cooling plate of the tek 9 fat will fit that massive 2080 ti Die.

My concern is more that the cooling plate of the tek 9 fat will fit that massive 2080 ti Die. Covers DIE but not whole frame around it (most, not 100%). Works, but imho is not the ideal choice. Well, all depends on budget. Sometimes you can get Tek9Fat for $100. Better option is Kingpin Icon with much more mass (around 2.5Kg) and contact surface. Also the cooling plate is bigger but ICON goes for $309. Depends how hard you want to stress your card. Also Icon comes Turing front plate so you can use the external hole pattern, but being safer it also makes even pressure harder and contact might be worse. Some solutions like Bitspower POT enable both patterns using 8 screws and a backplate for better mounting. This below is Tek9 + 8point adapter. You can see Icon has a much bigger plate haha Regards Edited August 24, 20195 yr by Samsarulz

Is it that bad that not the whole frame is coverd by the pot? Luumi and also Stepongzi (aka Bearded Hardware) used the icon with 4 Point mounting on the Kingpin. So a Fat should mount as good as a Icon or what do you think?

So a Fat should mount as good as a Icon or what do you think? For DICE there might be not much difference since POT will be "full", with LN2 unless you hit Full pot the Tek9 wont have much "juice" inside. Not a problem if it doesn't cover whole frame, you just need to be extra careful tightening screws. Many cards run like that for example HD7950/HD7970 and older cards too. Yes, using just 4 screws they are the "same". Have both so I can tell you that. Just like Rauf said, those 4 screws will work well and be enough even without a backplate, but a BP is better imho. You can test pot contact before going cold in windows, with small load (like GPUz stress test) GPU and POT base (through a K-probe) should show very close temps.

Have also purchased from him before and Im from Chile... way way far from where you are haha. Item was well packaged... well was something small iirc was an 5960X some years ago. Hope you get the pot. 3D benchmarking with DICE/LN2 might look harder but is rather easy if you leave insulation aside. Is super fun, hope you enjoy.
August 27, 20195 yr Author Hey guys yesterday I printed the backplate for the ln2 pot mounting. What do you think?
October 4, 20195 yr Author Pot arrived in perfect condition thank you very much @Rauf I've got a perfect mount on my kingpin thanks to the backplate. I can recommend it.
October 4, 20195 yr Author I'm now looking for a Raptor4! If anyone has one for sale please let me know!
