I badly want this card but my pocket won't stretch that far :( ..Hopefully the Fury Nano will be cheaper. You guys going to strip it down and put a waterblock on it?

Haven't decided. Never water cooled before and just doing the GPU seems pointless, I'd rather do a full loop. However that means I'd need a new case/more kit/money of which I just spent all of it on the Fury X. I could make it work in the R4 I have, but it'd be such a tight fit.

I'll be benching my 390x a lot more this week. Then I'll bench the Fury X and see how they compare. Don't really have many games though with a built in benchmark

edit: I have an R4 case, not R5. Changed it for everyone for future reference..

Just doing the GPU is the least pointless thing anyone has ever watercoooled. It creates far more heat than any other component with the TDP typically being double or triple a CPU. In general when playing games you load your GPU to the maximum for an extended period, the same can't be said for most users with their CPU. Sometimes it can present the biggest aesthetic improvement too in my opinion as there are plenty of pretty CPU heatsink/fan combinations whereas changing the fans/heatsink on most GPU's isn't really an option. If anything it's the best justified component to watercool in a gaming orientated build.

I thought you could just take the drive bays out and create more space that way?.

In my new builds I'm going to aspire to do a Water cooling loop. Never done one so it will be a good project for me :)

If you're looking at it from purely a performance stance then watercooling the Fury X is a little pointless to be honest as at full load it never goes over 50'c and it idles around 28'c and both those numbers will be even lower come autumn/fall and winter :)
 
I knew it was just a matter of time until you made a thread about this Dice ^_^

I would love to get one but i can't afford $1000.00 :(

No you got it wrong, I meant pointless in the perspective that it would look rather dumb because I also have an AIO and if I just did the GPU it wouldn't be aesthetically pleasing. It would look weird to me and I wouldn't be happy with it.

I have the R4 not the R5, sorry it was a typo. Doing a loop in the R4 is a much more stressful task than the R5.

Exactly my other reason but I'm really wanting to do it purely for the looks. I would want to put the CPU under water too if I did, just an excuse to do it but can't atm due to funds:(

I actually gave him the idea for our own club. I'd rather he start the thread as he makes them all neat and pretty:p
Also buy one "second hand" it's what I did. The guy never opened it, still shrinked wrapped, but he got tired of waiting for it to come so he bought a 980ti and sold his. I got him to sell it to me for under retail and free shipping:)

I just checked ebay and no one is selling one of them for a good price they want over $1000.00.

So i think i will just end up with a 390 or maybe a 390X not sure yet.
 
Still tossing up between this and the air cooled Fury. Have to say i'm leaning towards the latter atm, just. Not to worry though i've got plenty of time to think about it, I wont buy one purely on principle at the moment because the prices in Aus (and i imagine elsewhere as well) are stupidly inflated. The cheapest around are $1099 and $999 AUD respectively right now, when they're in stock. I'm hoping they drop down to $850 and $1000 within the next few months, so that i can buy a 4k monitor at the same time, then stick a second Fury in a few months later.
