At least they fixed it very very quickly. People just need to learn that they fixed it but can't expect it to 100% all be fixed as soon as they say so.. to get the revised models it's gonna take a week or two to ship them to retailers.. People just get impatient then claim they lie when it's just them waiting on shipments from China(or wherever in Asia)..
 
It's good that they have identified the issue and addressed it.

However, I can't help but be concerned that these are a disaster waiting to happen. Cooler Master aren't known for their epic pumps and putting a pump which naturally generates heat on to a gpu that creates more heat than a sun spot is a bit of a risk.

Anyone that has had the pump of their AIO fail must agree that the probability is high that the pump will fail in at least one of the thousands of Fury X's that will be sold worldwide. I would think life is a damn sight tougher for a pump when strapped to 275W TDP GPU than a 84W TDP CPU; and that GPU usually achieves near it's TDP and for longer, than a CPU ever will.

So here's a test I'd like OC3D to perform - run your preferred high intensity graphic benchmark in loop and then unplug the pump of the Fury X. What do you think would go pop first - the gpu or the water loop? Hopefully there's a pump monitor on the card that shuts the gpu down in the event of a pump failure, but I've not heard a sausage on the subject.
 
Anyone who actually manages to get their hands on a Fury X will be happy. They are out of stock pretty much every where that isn't selling them at inflated prices...
 
hahaha most retailers in Greece have ordered theirs before the banks closed. 5 retailers are stocked. I don't think they will run out! no money no honey
