EK Radeon R9 Fury X Water Blocks Now Available
EK Water Blocks, Ljubljana based premium computer liquid cooling gear manufacturer, is excited to launch the true single-slot liquid cooling solution for AMD Radeon reference design R9 FURY X graphics card. EK-FC R9 Fury X directly cools the GPU, HBM as well as VRM (voltage regulation module) as water flows directly over these critical areas, thus allowing the graphics card and it's VRM to remain stable under high overclocks.
EK-FC R9 Fury X water block features EK unique central inlet split-flow cooling engine design for best possible cooling performance. Such system also works flawlessly with the reversed water flow without adversely affecting the cooling performance. Moreover, such design offers great hydraulic performance, allowing this product to be used in liquid cooling systems using weaker water pumps. Unlike the original AIO cooling solution that comes with AMD Radeon R9 FURY X and takes up two slots, EK-FC R9 Fury X water block will transform the FURY X into a single-slot graphics card.The base is made of electrolytic copper (bare- or nickel-plated, depending on the variant) while the top is made of either acrylic- or POM Acetal material. Plexi variants also feature two pre-drilled slots for 3mm LED diodes. Screw-in brass standoffs are pre-installed and allow for safe, painless installation procedure.
Additionally the EK-FC R9 Fury X has been engineered with FC Terminal connection ports for up to four FURY X on a single ATX form factor motherboard, thus allowing for trouble-free swap out and upgrade without any additional changes to the cooling loop.
These water blocks are made in Slovenia, Europe and are readily available for purchase through EK Webshop and Partner Reseller Network. An aesthetic retention backplate, which also cools the backside of the circuit board, is also available for separate purchase and comes in five different finish variants.

I wonder if the hbm are just that fragile.
EK makes nice looking blocks. I had the same one on my Radeon 290X (EK-FC R9-290X - Nickel).
I have a water cooling loop existing of 2x240mm radiators and 1x120mm radiator, which kept my Radeon 290X and i7-4770K running under 50°C under full load. I replaced 290x with Fury X and the loop is just running the CPU alone and waiting for single slotted Fury X. :)
Note: My Fury X doesn't suffer from pump whine noise, it has the new pump with Chrome Cooler Master Badge. Though I find the fan that is used on the radiator to be loader than the Noctua NF-F12 PWM fans that I am using on my custom water loop.
