Hello all! The sponsor list for FURIA is now looking a little more complete with the addition of Bitspower and XFX who have very graciously supported the project with some of their products. Lots of packages have been arriving over the past week and I now have a full build of parts ready to go.
Progress over the next few weeks should be very fast, after taking an initial look at all of the parts most of them will be stripped down, carefully measured, modeled and virtually assembled. After that I will design and build the chassis which will integrate many many things to create a tiny slab of intense watercooling. I have some ideas in my head on how it might work but for now lets take a look at everything which will be going into FURIA!
Bitspower have provided all of the 'stock' watercooling parts for this project, some will no doubt get reworked beyond recognition once integrated into the loop and the dragon count may see a slight reduction.
Aside from the legendary fittings I really hadn't seen first hand many Bitspower components so I was excited to see one of their Leviathan radiators.
Of course adding Noctua was obligatory and made for a serious aesthetic combination, I hope together they deliver the performance to match.
Not entirely necessary but some neat blue additions to clean things up.
A sneaky preview of the blocks!
Before those go on lets take a look at the HyperX kit!
I love M.2, so tiny, so fast, no cables. 240GB is easily big enough for Windows, GTA V and Farm Simulator, what else do I need?
Now the important part, from which the project takes it's name, the great Fury X kindly sent by XFX.
Probably not going to stop with the unscrewing just yet....
...3 warranty stickers and 30 screws later...
Complete with many DisplayPorts (my favourite), HBM and bacon dispensing power connectors.
But what will power the Fury? There could only be one solution, it had to be the Silverstone SX600-G for it's staggering power density.
Despite using several of these SFX PSU's it always staggers me just how small they are, so here it is next to another small thing.
...and another small thing! and a very big radiator.
That just leaves one thing, to combine all of the bits into one small form factor lump of X99, DDR4, M.2, HBM and watercooling, a strong combination.
Hopefully I can spend the rest of my weekend taking this all apart and doing lots of CAD. See you all soon and I hope that you enjoyed seeing all of the parts as much as me.
