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

[LightningJR]

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

This is true but how many of those cards are the best of of AMD or NVidia's lineup with a single slot output, 4 small monitor connections and as short as this card is? If I were to guess I would say none. Very sexy imo.

I do wish there was a nicer look way to connect the hoses though, it's very blocky and inelegant.

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

You can. It's called a 240V circuit.

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

If you wire it properly it's as safe as any appliance circuit.

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

Indeed it is, thats the whole reason im gettin probably two of these, the singleslotedness of the contraption !
Nvidia doesnt have a clue on how to build such a thing, they cling on to their DVI like morons that they surely must be ! At least the top of the line GPU should be free of this pestilential connection that breaks the singleslotedness of the card, but somehow they still dont seem to get it, Anno 2015.

No they dont, at least concerning NVIDA, there isnt a single top of the line nvidia GPU single slot ready from the get go, ever made, well unless you count riva tnt models, that is.

The Answer is yes, you can, if the total wattage pull is less than 3680W
But if you draw more than that, then you hit the limits of the 240V Circuit, here i was reffering to two 2KW PSUs.

Depends on the amperage. Most 240V circuits in the US are 15 amp so you'd be right, but some are greater and designed for appliance use. Either way, I'm assuming we are using 2 240V outlets on separate circuits or designed an appropriate circuit.

For me real one slot solution is the only major selling point of Fury X. Expected much more from the price+hype combo.

My fears are close to being full realized. Now that gloves are off, nVidia can (will?) simply wipe the floor with it's 2nd Gen HBM. They do have the R&D means, manufacturing muscle and bags of cash. Everything that AMD doesn't. To some extent if nVidia do what AMD did - re-brand of 2xx to 3xx - just with HBM, even old Maxwell would be instant win. Imagine GTX980Ti with one slot cooling + half the length of usual 305mm (12") behemoths I would jump on it in a blink of the eye.

For me deal breaker is not the price (within reason of course) but length of the top cards which reached ludicrous proportions in like last 10 years.

You can't use 230/208-v in the US of A. It's not single phase 208v like it is in Europe and other countries where you have a hot, a neutral, and a ground like the US' 115v. 208v in the US of A is split phase where you have two hots that are 180 degreees out of phase along with a ground, there is no 0v neutral. Computer power supplies want a neutral, not two hots. You may fry your PSU if you plug it into split phase power in the US of A. This isn't a stove or a dryer.

I recommend learning how split-phase power works.

I have a 220V@30A as custom plug, also 8x220V@20A, so no problem in Europe.
