Fury X question

[ALXAndy]

So now that I am getting mine tomorrow can some one please answer some questions?

Can you remove the fan easily? I have my own fan I want to use. Are there screw mounts in both sides of the rad?

Basically I just want to bolt the rad onto the 120mm PCIE intake fan in my case, getting rid of the AMD one. I must do this as my fan has a special sensor in place and is 4 pin PWM and controlled by my PC.

Yeah you do need to take off the GPU plate cover to get to the fan plug...

Yes, but he's planning to crossfire it

In games and most notably GTAV I am seeing a good 10-15% boost over the TBs and getting practically none of the annnoying "Driving stutters" that I used to get.

At 4k the Fury X is pretty much bob on with the 980ti, so in gaming it's actually an upgrade.

I'm not taking huge overclocks/£600+ 980tis into consideration here. The Fury X has a better cooler than all air cooled GPUs. I know because I put one on the hottest GPU ever made (the 480 Lightning) and I couldn't make it break 47c at stock clocks. On air that was more like 70c.

I will give Fury X and Fury time to mature, but what I will probably do is wait for them to become more plentiful and then get a Fury of sorts (not an X, just an air cooled card) and Crossfire with that providing I see enough evidence to support Crossfire as I simply have no trust of AMD for support.

So right now? in the games I play I am seeing better FPS. My average FPS in Metro 2033 has dropped by 3 FPS but it's far smoother than it was before because SLI does stutter (just not very often).

I can't say I really miss Gsync either. I will take improved FPS and no dual GPU issues any day.
