EK Water Blocks Ready with its Radeon R9 Fury X Water Block, Single-slot Capable

[btarunr]

Slovenian liquid-cooling giant EK Water Blocks gave us a sneak-peek of its upcoming full-coverage water block for the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X. When launched, the block will likely come in two material options - exposed copper and nickel-plated copper; and a choice of clear acrylic and acetal tops. The block features a common coolant channel for the GPU and the VRM areas, and features a dense micro-channel lattice over the GPU area. The company may also separately sell a single-slot bracket for the card's display I/O.

Wow, this is sex, literal SEX. I forgot how much I miss single slot cards.. Holy shit, this might be the best reason to get a Fury X

What if DirectX 12 native multi-GPU supports any number of cards, and what if you could pack 7 of these cards on an X99 board with 7 slots?

And what if you caused a meltdown and recreated Chernobyl?

Would be crazy if possible, I would like to see it.



EDIT: Oh snap, I just noticed it's my 5th year anniversary on the TPU forum! WOO.

Maybe you're right. Even if you used this PSU, there's still not enough juice for 7x 280W + Haswell-E base system: http://www.techpowerup.com/209518/super-flower-announces-worlds-first-2000w-consumer-psu.html

Unless you want to do dual-PSU.

What would be the practical purpose of such a setup?

3DMark 12 records? Scraping the ISS with your e-peen?

I just wanna see it! They don't have to work...

Besides: Dual-PSU is fine though.

Nice 1 slot and short of water connection could be on side of the card, but it would be better into 2 xGPU version that will be higher.

This would be the bomb on a dual pci-e mini itx board!

There are some water capable itx cases, right?

Come on AMD, Intel, get your board partners to make such a board.

+1 The standard is there. I think it's called DTX. But haven't seen many boards sticking to it. I wouldn't mind a mini ITX with 2 slots.

 

[GreiverBlade]

YES! pretty sure in a custom loop + a good block the Fury (vanilla, Nano, X) will do better (OC or perf )
stay positive ... the card is not a failure and compete with the other one in the same price category ... so ... HAPPY TO SEE custom waterblock already ... (now just need Aquacomputer doing the same )

this modified waterblock for dual FuryX 4 cards and 8 gpus with a power consume of ~2.2kW, damn

Now overclock them.

 

[bpgt64]

Shuttle Computer makes a newer DTX motherboards.

 

[the54thvoid]

Well, that removes the pump whine. Check.

But the overclocking? The Fury X is already watercooled - all this block will do is allow a better audio experience. Why are people being weird today thinking Fury X will overclock more if you put a 'different' water block on it?

Unfortunately they only single slot card I know 980ti do would be a KIngpin Classified and that's a whore load of money

 

[Prima.Vera]

Yes, this looks like a very clear and beautiful design. I wish they are making for other cards too.

 

[TRWOV]

Now, this is what Fury X should have shipped with

true that ... thanks @TRWOV

You could NOT plug in two 2000W PSUs into the same breaker in your house without it blowing

The single slot is nice... the card is meh

 

[erocker]

Uh, this isn't anything new. They've been making "single slot" water blocks for all high end cards for years.

AMD did a Linux setup with 8 of these, but Windows is limited to 6 I believe.

Only if they didn't have side by side display connectors making the card itself 2 wide.

Get a bigger breaker

 

[nickbaldwin86]

Get a bigger breaker

why don't I just dump a jug of gas on the floor in my living room and light a match
