No complaints about the AIO on my fury-x. will definitely be getting an AIO cooled vega assuming the price/performance of the base card is reasonable I don't mind paying an extra premium for quite cooling. It means I can keep the same case arrangement as my current setup.

Oops wrong thread

Ended up going up for an air cooled Fury and gave up on the X version.

I REALLY hope AMD/Coolermaster have learnt their lesson!

Same here. Let's hope they do a good job, From what I've read about the watercooled FE it seems to get quite warm, Is in the 70's normal for an AIO?

That's hot for an AIO. Good custom card air coolers are in the 60-70 range. Where have you seen this?

Here's a breakdown/educated guess video on the Vega watercooler. It looks promising.

From this post further back where it's hitting 76 degrees, I know it's with an overclock but I seem to remember people with cards like the 1080 aio claiming it maxes in the 60's with an overclock.

Was this posted already?

I'm not sure that's the one now, I'll have to look further to see what was giving me the 70+ impression

Cheers, saw that, missed the temps

I suppose it's the shear number of Watts it generates when it's overclocked and the AIO can only do so much. I'm really shocked at how the Watts ramp up so high from just a 100MHz overclock.

I just had a browse through that guys comment history, he has a fan Vega.

That explains it,
It was posted not long after this, so I was presuming it was the same person but from what you said it isn't. I'm glad I was wrong.

The person on Reddit who got the water cooled RX Vega card,got it up to 1.7GHZ!!

Was getting me worried there for a minute guys. With the watercooled Vega I would not want it to be going much above 50C, whether it is overclocked or not. If it gets more than 50 it will only spin the fan on the heatsink up and become noisy again which is not what I want.

As far as I know the Fury X fan never had to ramp up rpm and get noisy even overclocked?

As I have a freesync monitor, it seems very likely I'll be pre-ordering the water Vega. I too was worried when I read that!

The liquid cooler on vega looks the same as the fury duo which was a far better made cooler than what fury x came with.

My main concern is price, followed by heat. I am happy to leave it stock just so I do not get the fan ramping up when using it.

My 1070 AMP Extreme was the best cooled card I have ever had. When not playing zero noise as no fans, then when playing it was half the noise of any other GPU I have ever had, not intrusive at all. My 1080 G1 Gaming was much louder in comparison which is probably one of the main reasons I sold it in the end. If it was the same noise as my 1070 I would have probably kept it for a long time I think.

Now I am stuck with a reference 7970 while waiting for Vega/Volta and no word of a lie when full load it sounds not to far of this:

I just play older games and cap the fps to 60fps to play silent

your just going to say "your wrong" with no explanation or is Sirroman your alternative account?

I'm not angrybird...

From my understanding the small size gives good yields but the modularity of the design gives good die utilisation per wafer.

Correct, although I factor in die utilization into yields. With IF AMD can use 4 Ryzen dies each with only two functional cores on Epyc 7251. It's mindblowing.

Apart from from the die shot and die size we don't know much about the die itself, or what it comprises of. If Vega is not modular, then it means that IF is designed for communication with the CPU which would mean that there is an advantage from using vega with Ryzen CPUs.

I don't think IF brings any benefit for Vega right now, maybe for Dual Vega or that tentative Vega Cube. It's more of an early preview for Navi.

It seems we have similar priorities when it comes to Vega. I did once own a reference 290, I feel your pain!

I have nothing useful to say... like everyone else in here.
