Kaapstad, how does EK know which slots your 4 fury x will populate on your motherboard?
Or the slots in some motherboards with same spacing? If I decided for 4 way, my cards wouldn't be evenly spaced, I think.
And all those 4 blocks probably cost as much as whole fury. I know my 3 sets of blocks will cost as much

EK don't know the spacing on my motherboard so it is down to the end user to make sure they use the correct bridge/fittings.

Here is how an owners thread should go, Skylake is absolutely pointless yet still there is no derailing or fanboys making snide remarks, just discussion of OCing and benching:

http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18686392

Mods need to disallow mmj et al from posting in this thread.

Probably not the best example to use lol

If I posted in that thread about the short comings of DDR4 it would explode as Dave2150 hates me.

Having said that people should try and keep the owners threads on topic.

You can see from the first post that there aren't that many owners here and the thread would be 2 pages max if only owners posted.

This is my 125th post in the thread that would get us to page 5 on it's own.

There are more owners posting than the first page shows I can guarantee at least one *cough*

If there are any owners not on the first page please post a pic and I will update it.

Howling said:
I did post a pic, about 20 pages back I dare say Will take another when I finish my new x99 build though

Sorry about that, fixed and on TROH.

Are you mad?? About half that list have either sold them on or sent them back to to the EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEzzer Goode EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEzzer Goode

Most of those cards are still with their original owners, Matt and myself bought 8 between us and we have still got them.

I am really looking forward to testing mine in crossfire as the performance seems to be top notch.

Got my Fury X lovely card, no pump whine (for info it was shipped from sapphire on the 24th of july). But the fan "grind" when it goes over 560rpm... not really bothering while gaming. Anyways here's my photo !

I finally received my Fury-X. Took awhile but was worth the wait. Was lucky aswell, as I received version that has no coil whine, and no pump noise

Don't forget to post a pic for TROH.

Hey Kaap - Not too sure where to put this post, but - How are you liking Furys to Titans?

The reason I use both is no one card can do everything well. We can expect both AMD and NVidia to mess up on drivers which gives the advantage to one or the other.

As to comparing the cards it is not really fair as the Fury X should be compared to the 6gb 980 Ti.

It you use TitanXs they are best in multi GPU setups @2160p where they can really use the extra VRAM. For single card use or low resolution it is not worth using them as you can do equally well with other cards.

For single or two way setups I think the Fury X will start giving the GTX 980 Ti a lot of serious competition @2160p once it gets voltage control.

I have also noticed that a custom waterblock seems to work much better than the AIO cooler on the Fury Xs. One of my FXs struggled to do 1120 on the core with the AIO cooler running on it's own, now all 4 can do at least 1130 running together with custom waterblocks. I will try and get some 1140 runs done on stock volts once the temp in my room goes down. Waterblocks may cool the cards better but it does nothing to help with room temp.

Howling said:
How'd you figure the cooling made the difference? With my fan profile my temps don't go past 50 but I can't push the clocks past 1130 ish without artefacting, was the same before i changed the fan curve too (so maxing around 60 by default) :/

My room temp is 25c

Below is the cards at idle

And after they have been running Valley @2160p they hit 36c @1130/500 with no artifacts.

Below is the temps just after exiting the Valley bench.

Kaap, could you update my rig picture in the OP please? Thanks.

Done

Here is mine now it is up and running

Kaapstad (The Red Machine)

Next job will be to give it a good clean now it is running.

Howling said:
Man that waterblock looks heavy O.o Might just be the picture, but is it pulling the cards down slightly? Aside that, looks sexy ;D

Just the angle of the camera.

One of the advantages of using a bridge like that on the cards is it stops any sagging at all. But yes the 4 cards with blocks do weight quite a bit.

Acetal isn't that heavy.

There is a lot of metal in those blocks.
