"I talk about returning to PC hardware overclocking after a 3 year hiatus and the new you tube channel that I have made dedicated to Overclocking and XOC."
KINGPIN explains the transition to a new studio space after experiencing noise issues, while providing updates on personal e-bike and motocross track projects. The video outlines a strategy to separate content streams, directing viewers to a dedicated channel for future PC hardware and extreme overclocking projects.

Not sure this is the right time for a re-entry into high end PC. I think pretty much all of the enthusiast base is a bit miffed.

Agreed, something like this would have made me excited many years ago but now I am older and not into it as much as I used to be lol
 
I dont think this is a Kingpin cards are back situation. Hes splitting the content between two channels to better suit the algorithm. Hes working with Asus and they are supporting him with hardware. They may be getting feedback from him but i wouldnt expect a Kingpin card any time soon. Also something to remember. Shimo is who is at the top of Asus OC. When Shimo left EVGA, Vince took his spot. Shimo is the one behind what made the Classified brand desirable. I also think Kingpin is kind of hot lava right now. Every single partner is aware of the EVGA situation and problems they had with Jensen. There is a risk there because pretty much everything Kingpin did on the last few gens was kept from nvidia until release because nvidia would patch it out.

It will be nice seeing some XOC content again though.
 

"Kingpin Teases Upcoming ASUS Extreme OC Collaboration​

by Cpt.Jank Today, 17:33 Discuss (1 Comment)
After EVGA's abrupt exit from the GPU space, high-profile Vince Lucido, aka Kingpin, seemingly took a hiatus from the PC overclocking scene, aside from briefly working with PNY on a planned RTX 50-series launch before scrapping the project. Now, as per a recent video update on his YouTube channel, Lucido has found another hardware partner for his signature overclocking GPUs in ASUS.

In the update, Lucido confirms that he has "some really sick hardware from ASUS and Corsair to start with," and that he has had "numerous talks" with high-level management at ASUS, which are what ultimately persuaded him to get back into the overclocking industry. He has promised that whatever he has planned for PC overclocking will appear on the Overclock Kingpin YouTube channel, which has no published videos at the time of writing."
 
I love that kingpin is coming back. It will rejuvenate some passion in the enthusiast space. By the time he gets rolling perhaps the AI hardware disappearing phase might be settled down some.
