We unboxed, overclocked, and benchmarked the K|ngp|n EditionGTX 780 Ti from EVGA. Honestly. I'm really impressed with this graphics card. EVGA has come so far from being a "rebrander of reference cards" company to one with some serious engineering teeth.

The EVGA GTX 780 Ti Classified K|ngp|n Edition is presented as an engineering-forward, high-performance graphics card designed for extreme overclocking. The video begins by outlining the key selling points: a six heat pipe cooler with dual 100 mm fans and a removable PWM heatsink, plus a distinctive translucent ACX cooler design that departs from the standard black appearance. The host details the non-reference PCB and the 14-plus-three phase power design, capable of delivering up to 450 watts of power, supported by dual eight-pin and one six-pin PCI-Express power connectors. Hardware monitoring features are highlighted, including LED indicators for GPU, RAM, PLL, and 3.3V/12V rails, as well as an EVBOT header for real-time voltage and clock adjustments. In addition, the package includes an overclocking guide, replacements like thermal pads, and mentions the EK water block compatibility for even more extreme cooling, underscoring the card’s target audience of dedicated overclockers. The host also discusses warranty caveats with Nvidia Greenlight, noting that stock limits may apply while pushing the card beyond reference levels. Finally, the host emphasizes the card’s purpose built for maximum overclocking potential, and contrasts on-air unofficial tool use with the stock limitations, inviting viewers to explore unofficial tools and discuss outcomes with the community. The segment closes with calls to action for comments, forum participation, and keeping up with related Linus Tech Tips content and community groups.
