**AMD Fiji Thread**

Brilliant

It's not your lots fault. They've kept a lid on this for too long. Which is fine obviously normally to a degree.


But not when there's so few that Jim from the unit next door comes round with a shopping trolley and buys them all on the day lol

Need an AMD rare pepe.

Looking at the temps Gibbo posted after running a bench, I never thought it would stay THAT cool. colour me surprised and hungry for one!

If there is only 30,000 globally of these for launch I imagine they will be price inflated to the max and sell out within minutes. 30,000 is really not very many for a World wide launch....

Good luck to all those trying to buy....

Yep all the nvidia peeps saying ohh look the Fury x needs water cooling because it runs mega hot so it needs water cooling to stay cool.
sub 40 while gaming is impressive for AIO to say the least even on 16% fan speed too.
I'm glad AMD went in this direction tbh! Now i can vent all that warm air out of the case instead now and keep the card much cooler and also keep things quieter. Win Win! I guess they took onboard all that crap and flak they took from the 290x reference.

Looks like a pain to remove all the trimmings.

Just been thinking, save having to squeeze it in the rear (oohh err again ), i may just put it at the bottom, but reversing the fan, so that it pulls up into the case, and then out through the top, like this :-

They've really given the cooling some thought, aye.

4GB is the *only* thing putting me off one of these to have a play with. Damn shame HBM is so limited at present

 

[Rexton]

I have no idea where to put the rad in my case

as gibbo said - its a monster at 4k ; heres a thought - maybe 4GB was only a `limitation` for GDDR5 and HBM , because of the way it works doesn't suffer from the GDDR limitations in the same way?

Can't see any benefit in mounting it that way. I'd sooner the hot air exhaust straight out of the case. Your way is venting hotter air over the CPU.

 

[humbug]

Ha!, brilliant

 

[Secret_Window]

I'll let others test the waters with the fury. I still might go for the nano, or possibly the Ti if it comes down in price. It's certainly going to be an interesting period over the next few weeks.

Yeah thats true, may be better at the rear, unless it'll be fine at the bottom, but with the fan not reversed, so it blows down and out, just its sitting on a pretty thick carpet.

EDIT: would it really make that much difference to my CPU temps though, as ive got an NH-D15, so my CPU temps are pretty low anyway ?
