The Fury(X) Fiji Owners Thread

I wont be getting a second one until they come sub £500, which seems like it could be a while considering they still cant make them properly yet.

I also want to see how things pan out on the software side, I dont get whats going on with the overclocking situation for example. Oculus are releasing a new SDK soon 0.7 which supposedly has a new interface developed in conjuction with AMD / NVIDIA which will hopefully resolve a lot of the issues I've been having with the card

Looked into the large watercooling cases and there only really seems to be 4 options,
the phanteks enthoo looks high quality but I dont usually go for the futuristic look,
900D all I hear are bad things, and the caselabs ones are a bit wide, I'm limited to a 30 cm wide space which is shared with a curtain, unless I can raise it off the floor by around 2-3 inches.

The only problem is that I'm working from home for the next month and I don't have the luxury to just go buy a cheapy GPU whilst I RMA this one so I'm kind of stuck :(

That sucks. :(


Ive even listened to YT vids of those Corsair CPU AIOs, and they don't sound anything like the FXs, no whine, just a pretty quiet humming.

I just ordered a Sapphire Fury for delivery tomorrow, I've had enough of waiting and it seems there's still a risk with the X so the Fury it is.

I think that's going to be my next port of call. The risk of getting a bad Fury X is too high. I'm going to try a Sapphire R9 FURY Tri-X. This way I will be able to still use FreeSync on my BenQ XL2730Z 27. I've Just had the Firmware Updated so really want to keep the monitor. Only other alternative other than switching to a Sapphire would be to to sell the monitor (can't be arsed with the mider though) and go green. What do I do.. What do I do..

That's awful i can hear a humming and the coil whine! The coil whine doesn't start straight away i can hear it kick in! That would drive me crazy! My CPU AIO sometimes hums/buzzes but i think thats the fans as it stops when it lightly hit the top of my case lol. But that in the video would probably get me kicking! haha.

Having previously used an Kuhler 920, you will notice the pump noise, but nothing like what you guys are putting up in video's. How could they get something so straightforward wrong?

Simply put AMD cut corners to get the product on the market and have paid for it by having a lot of units in circulation that have horrendous pump noise and it's really not helping AMD's image at all.

Yeah I use to have my PC on at night quite a lot when I had a 980 in it and it was silent, Now I have to turn it off as it actually keeps me up.

This thing is so loud it literally drowns out the sound of my case fans.

This is what happens when manufacturers cut corners, they not only pay for it in lost sales as the customer simply goes over to Nvidia but they pay for it with their reputation.

I thought coolermaster made the AIO? or atleast AMD used Coolermaster to make it for them or something? Isn't it on coolermaster rather than AMD? Still it's certainly not on from a consumer point of view!

Hell of an overclock you have there Dice :cool:

cheeky :p

Well I got 1150 on the core and an extra 50MHZ on the memory which results in a total memory bandwidth of 560GB/s which for the Fury X and no voltage control is decent :)

Yeah CM made it but looking at it now it looks like CM definitely skimped on quality control, Either that or AMD didn't pay them enough.
 
Im on doing my prepaid label, ready to take down to my collection point tomorrow, says if you havn't got a pouch, can use clear tape, over the whole label, but im just going to print it off on a self adhesive sheet, and stick it on, job done :p
 
Coolermaster did not make the pump, they merely supplied it. If you look at the toms hardware article on the pump issue it mentions the company that made the pump.

To get to the bottom of this, the first thing we needed to find out was who actually manufactured the pumps. There might be a huge Cooler Master label attached to them, but let’s be clear: Cooler Master buys their components. They don’t make them.

According to our information, the Taiwanese company AVC (Asia Vital Components) made the pumps. This is the same company that manufactures the Seidon and Nepton products. It's not a small player in the OEM field, either. In fact, it sees itself as the world market leader in some areas. In spite of a number of personal contacts, all we were greeted with was a wall of silence when we contacted them.
