EK has released their new AMD R9 Nano Full-Cover water block. One of the world's smallest GPUs just got smaller.

Fixed, I obviously didn't have enough red bull in my weetabix today.

hehe nice I had coco pops, so I'm doin' alright

Considering the Nano is constantly being thermally limited, I wonder if it's possible to get even higher clocks while still getting the power consumption benefits than say the Fury X?

 

[Kushiro]

Why does this make sense exactly? The dam thing pretty much costs the same as a Fury X. Might as well grab a few of those and put them under water instead.

Because you save a lot of power and can still clock it fairly high. Also for ITX builds means you can get away with slightly less rad space and smaller PSUs

 

[Kushiro]

For ITX builds you may as well just go the AIO route with the Fury x and slap another AIO or whatever you want on the CPU.

The Nano isn't a different arch or anything that magically made it more power efficient in comparison to the other Fury GPUs. It is pretty much just a Fury X with gimped power delivery, cooling and clock speed. There was no significant binning done. It just goes to show that the Fiji architecture sacrifices efficiency for the performance.

That's definitely the way to go if your eyes and ears don't work too good.

Comes down to personal opinion, The AIO on the Fury X doesn't look bad and the whole system is fairly quiet, The CPU AIO is inaudible.

I guess that's the only cap you can come up with, so my point has already been made.

An ITX rig with a Nano should be properly small, just fitting the ridiculous amount of hose that comes on two AIO's (especially when one is the FuryX) would look pretty bad. Nobody to date has put a pump of comparable quality to a DDC/D5 in an AIO, you can definitely get quieter. Then obviously their is efficiency gains from running a single loop with the same radiator area rather than dual loops. People would even advise against that left right and centre in a full ATX rig. A custom loop would be superior from both an aesthetic and acoustic perspective. It would however be a lot more expensive, involve more risks and more skill. I can understand why more people couldn't justify doing it for those reasons.

The thing is, if you want a properly tiny ITX build you -probably- wouldn't have space for the Fury's hoses. I know my case doesn't have the space. If the fury had less hosing/you could swap the hosing out then there wouldn't be an issue.

Nano + CPU in CM110 on one 120 rad. How about it? Hard tubing? The CM110 does not suport SFX PSU but I know a few that has the *shield* to use on a ATX psu spot to fit a SFX PSU.

I still say that the temps would be too hot for my likings and how about noice? The i7-6700K has a TDP of 95w but the Average at gaming at stock is around 110w and using the chart of techpowerup then the AVERAGE power consumption of the Nano is 186w.

So for a real small mini itx case like the CM110 then a single 120 rad would have to disipate 296w. Is that correct? I still dont see EVEN with water cooling the use of a *small* card like the Nano for ITX. Let alone justifying the price premium your paying for a *small* form factor card.
