Bad idea, i also tried that and it just seemed like it made the hot air circulate around the gpu itself made the inside of the case very warm.

Would make sense especially as the power supply circuitry around the CPU likes some cool air which pulling it all from the bottom wouldn't support as well - already got enough exhausts that it wouldn't be unbalanced switching the 120 on the back around.

Cheers, yeah the rear isn't an option as the H105 + fans means I can only fit a single 120mm at rear as exhaust fan.
The bottom of the case has a dust filter for PSU and Fan, fan filter slides into bottom.
Would have to reverse the front intake fan and have FURY X plus big front fan exhausting heat out the front and H105 and rear 120mm fan exhausting heat out of top and rear, with cool air coming from bottom of the case, like Rroff says will just have to crank up the fan speed.
Still not sure what the best way is, just if I reverse the Fury X fan I'll be pulling hot air into case, saying that I'm doing that already with Titan X + AIO, so maybe it won't be a problem. Just trying to figure the optimum setup. Gonna take case apart and give everything a clean before installing Fury X perfect time to change fan config.
*EDIT*
Just seen this post, yeah that's how my Titan X is setup. But hinges on whether the Fury X rad fan can be reversed. Some posts I've read suggest it only goes one way. Be great if Gibbo or someone could confirm you can turn the fan around?

Is that with a bottom fan pulling air in? it should work aslong as there is a directed top to bottom airflow - might need a bit of adjusting of individual fan speeds to get it optimal though.
That's superb news.
I had a lot of tinkering with my card and the best results basically came down to this.
Front intakes, 1 140 SP fan servicing the rad and below that a 140 AF fan.
2 120 filtered airflow fans at the bottom , rear 140 airflow fan exhausting.
Might be overkill for the fury with its lower load temps.

When the Furyx2 is announced it may well have more memory by then. 8gb HMB is in progress.
Fury X2 its already announced

I was going to put it at the bottom of my case, blowing out (blue arrow), but then thought, might not be so good, as not much gap between the bottom of the case and the floor, and its sitting on a pretty thick carpet, so ill just remove the rear case fan (red arrow), and place it there.

Yeah with that setup the back fan exhausting would be more ideal. With 2 intakes + PSU at the bottom wouldn't reverse the back exhaust but with only 1 fan at the bottom and the rest exhausts its an option.

you mean like the fiji pro and fiji xt ? It's a maxwell core so a number in the naming scheme is not gonna change that
Nope nope nope, Fiji xt and pro are the same base core
Titan X and 980ti are the same base core GM200
Fiji XT and Pro are the same mm2, the TitanX and 980ti are the same mm2
The 980 GM204 is a much smaller chip, it could never reach 980ti levels of performance, it bears no resemblance to the 980ti chip
Iirc Fiji XT is already 600mm2, they cant do a bigger version in the same way they have with 980>Titanx
If anything, the only people who can take advantage of improved yields are that NVIDIA could do a full fat GM200 as a 6GB card above the 980ti, FuryX us already full fat so there are no unused cores to enable

I'm also trying to figure out my placement in my phantom full tower (original). The HDD cages are riveted in so I think I will have to have it sucking in the cpu exhaust at the back (or I could get an AIO for the cpu and exhaust that out the roof).
The alternative is a bit unorthodox, and would involve using the side panel 120mm fan mounts that cool the HDD bays, and then exhausting those out the other side. Going 3D with my cooling!

Is it nonsense-monday again? GTX 980 and GTX 980 Ti are completelly different chips for different segments. What does the process have to do with anything? Are you claiming GTX 680 is basically the same as well since it was on the same process?

Fiji Pro is a cut down Fiji XT, same as the GM200 powering the GTX 980 Ti is a cut down version of the GM200 in Titan X. Again, the GM204 in GTX 980 is a different chip.
Put 4 FuryX rads in the top of the case, job done.

Doubtful the hoses would reach that distance, theyre roughly 15.7 inches or so but the bottom 2 cards would probably be hampered by the other cards and hosing.

I have the same case full tower phantom. I drilled out the rivets with a dremel, the cages all come out really easily. If you want to put them back in it would only takes some bolts/nuts/washers.
I only recently discovered my psu has a hybrid mode, fan only seems to turn on occasionallyWith fury x probably even more of a rarity.
Hybrid mode is nice on mine - though I've never actually heard the fan in normal mode either - but in hybrid mode the fan doesn't come on until ~250watt draw and with my normal 125fps framerate cap I only draw about 280watt total even in BF4 so it hardly comes on then.
