The Fury(X) Fiji Owners Thread

[Hotwired]

Apparently, a nice sunny day is the wrong kind of weather for a train, so they've had to cancel lots of em today.

Well when you have longass sections of metal welded together there is an issue with expansion/contraction if temperatures go outside those ranges.

Could blame the fact that they cba putting in better measures to relieve strain beforehand but then you get a less robust rail and worse ride so there's no free lunch on offer.

Gah Still no idea where it is, was last in belgium so presumably in the uk somewhere.

Pwned!!

Damn that's a tough break mate, can't be weather though surely...

They are both in my main PC and just need to switch off lanes when running either. It will be given some serious testing over the next few days and then I will give it a fair and unbiased review.

Will be good to see a comparison as you have the top cards from both vendors now. Look forward to your video.

Probably leaves on the track

290s idling at 53 today

Anyone else got rad damage on their new Fury? seems to be working ok though

 

[Orangey]

All my rads fins have looked like that. I think it's either somehow intentional or inconsequential so they see no prob using them in product.

 

[whyscotty]

My had a few bent fins - no biggy

Still have my 295x2 so doesn't bother me. I'm actually dreading getting it to an extent in case it has the pump whine

Is no one going to buy the Asus these guys have got in stock

It gone now.

1 crazy AMD diehard fan spend £140 more on ASUS Fury X, he sure hope it wont have coil whine or high pitched noise and guaranteed no bend fins.

 

[Scougar]

Just gently straighten them out, I wouldn't personally be sending it back for that unless there was actual damage.

Flatheaded jewelers screwdriver or something similar, worst that will do is slightly impede airflow, probably wont even raise the temp by 1c.

I wont send it back, just wanted to make sure it was ok

Got mine today, after taking ages pulling apart my cask to find a space (forgot how small it was) it's got a very audible high pitched whine sound constantly.

It's not that it's loud, it's the frequency of it (I can imagine older people may not be able to hear it always). I'll be returning mine tomorrow & going for the 980ti, I simply don't trust not to get it again & can't be bothered messing around with multiple returns.

A slight whine would be fun during gaming (usually loud sounds come along with it) but while on the desktop & during the boot is not acceptable - it's like having ringing in yours ears constantly & would drive me insane after a while.

So when will the Fury X be widely available at the £510 price? I've finally decided on getting one with a BenQ XL2730Z.

Those are just the fins between the channels. The best thing to do would be to open the fins up again, but that's it. Extremely unlikely to have damaged a water channel.

Just setup my Acer Predator XG270HUomidpx to test freesync the AOC 4K panel i had will be on it's way back to Ocuk tomorrow.

Thanks bud



I tried that on the 290X and didn't help unfortunately. It must be a lead issue and the first lead I had would flicker badly at 120Hz to a point it was a solid black screen. I tried the one that came with the monitor and the same, so I bought a better quality Startech cable and that works for a few seconds and then black screen, works again, black screen but not as bad as the first 2.

I am betting if I get a 1.2 DP cable that is good quality, that would help. Slightly annoyed that the damned capture card has wasted most of my morning and now I need to get ready for work

Oh well, I can play tonight for a bit.

Thanks for the help as well chaps. All help is welcomed.

I don't know if this would help but i found this thread awhile back when i was looking into maybe going 4k
http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18670898
Although this specific problem was flickering on 4k @60hz maybe it could be a similar thing that you are suffering. The linked threads in that thread go into more detail but apparently DP sends power over pin 20 which i guess can cause problems for some users. The guy goes onto recommend this cable from the rainforest that is only 19 pin with pin 20 unconnected.

Wether it would help i can't say but thought i would post it up and let you make your own decisions to try that cable (or try to find another 19 pin cable)

Will be interesting to see if you get charged a re-stocking fee.
