Cheers man. I had the idea as soon as ek posted about the block. Glad it turned out how it did. I actually went at it the same I always do when cleaning cards. I used straight up tissue and alcohol. Nothing special. Did the best I could to get it clean. Cheers man. The card with the water...

Only real solution for getting away from pump whine is to remove the pump. I caved and went for the EKWB. http://imgur.com/a/4mOi9

Both cards were purchased from different retailers. The first card was a Sapphire, and their support was god awful and it took over a week to be told it would take weeks to get a replacement unit. I simply couldn't use that card for that long as the issue gave me a headache after about 30...

Second Fury X arrived today. Old pump with an even louder pump whine. AMD suck So to sum up, Not only did I have serious issue with getting the first unit returned and out of my own pocket I might add. The second card has the same issue, and it was ordered 2 weeks later! AMD can down play...

Sapphire did get back to me and said they would try and see if they could arrange one for next week, but I had already ordered the new card. While Sapphires customer service sucks and I would recommend people avoid them in the future. The real problem is AMD and their complete lack of control...

Okay, Sapphire wanted me to wait around 3 weeks for a replacement unit, and the current fury x I have gives me a headache after about an hour. So the Sapphire is going back. I have just ordered a Gigabyte Fury X from Caseking, as they had at least one in stock this morning. Hoping to get a...

I didn't really have to argue, but I was speaking to two different people. The first was someone their facebook page helped get in contact, but he was pretty telling me what I already new. The second person got onto me after I contacted AMD directly through my own website. The initial email...

It's funny, as throughout all of this, I kept thinking, that simply removing the included pump and going for the Ek waterblock and doing some nice custom water cooling. The reason for this is the Cooler Master Storm Trooper has a PCI slot cut-out parrarell with the window panel, Although slight...

Okay, Sapphire have contacted my directly. I did reach out to AMD's head of PR, and she was kind of enough to help me get in contact with Sapphire. The first email seemed like a typical RMA process, but after telling them I wasn't prepared to cover the costs of returning a faulty item, she...

I can see the Fury X in stock in some places, but again, I have no idea how good/bad their support is. I will not order another Sapphire card again period. Their support still hasn't replied to the ticket and this is a known issue. I had a Sapphire R9 290 Vapor-X that had an issue, and their...

okay, i'm sending my Sapphire back for a refund, I simply can't deal with the lack of support from them and the retailer who were pushing me to cover the cost. Finally Paypal stepped in the pressure is making them take it back, and they will arrange collection. I was going to ask what retailer...

Amd did say they would work with aib partners but if those partners gave dreadful customer care. Thats not great help is it? Also, their clearly down playing the issue. I have seen users have 2-3 different RMA's with the same issue each time. Their just waiting for the cards to end up in the...

I'm still having trouble getting an rma sorted with Sapphire. The only responses I have gotten are from Facebook and the email address they gave me from there. No actual moment on the rma, or even a respone from the support ticket. Startig to wish I just waited. Also AMD's poor attempt at...

2 cards, you must have a nice big case, i had to drill new holes in my storm trooper to move the h105 out of the way of the fury x radiator. I got mine from PCCompenetes in spain and It's a Sapphire. I do like the Fury X, but damn why couldn't have AMD gotten the launch perfect, they really...

The whine is caused by the pump. Which has means the fury will not have it at all.
