Only real solution for getting away from pump whine is to remove the pump. I caved and went for the EKWB.

Freaking beautiful man - than for the build log with pics. I very much enjoyed it and it does look really sweet with the block facing the case window

Nice!

How did you manage to clean out the old thermal paste without nuking your card?

Alcohol pads or a q-tip dipped in alcohol.

I'm usually not one that cares about a build's aesthetics much, but that is one sexy looking card/build, Thor.

That is the usually way, but, I thought with HBM & the interposer, you can't use the same techniques because the ability to scratch it...

"Trash talk[ing]" aside, I say it will whine THE WORST because there is a probability someone else had already returned it.

Good luck!

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 block really does nail the look.

Maybe this one will only nag you instead of whine...

Well guys, 3rd times the charm. Got the embossed Cooler Master logo on my Visiontek Fury X and shes as quiet as can be.

Off to load her up with Windows 10!

yep - worth every penny

Nice! Glad you got a good one. Looks like the embossed logo is definitely a good indicator. I haven't seen a user report yet that said the embossed version had any noise issue.

Eymar · Jul 30, 2015

Thanks for update n0x1ous. Definitely good news. What monitor are you using with it?

sam_816 · Jul 30, 2015

Glad to hear that. Congrats!!

I will miss this thread. :-/

Perhaps things have finally turned the corner with those bad batches...

Why didn't you just get a GTX 980 Ti after this problem?

*Looks at sig*

Oh... you have both now....

Ok

Haha, I don't even look at people's sigs half the time.

If I could get the GF to let me buy both, I'd do it. But then I'd probably be all like "but I can get two of one type and go SLI/CFX."

And if I were going SLI/CFX I'd probably go Fury X (of course if the pumps are noiseless). Dat scaling!

AMD CF scaling is one of the reasons I still like it.
I could crossfire my 7950 even and get better performance than a single R9 290 in the games I'm playing. But I'd STILL be stuck at 1440p vsr.
Fury X CF would be nice. I originally wanted it. But without HDMI 2.0 I can't justify it. And you can't even downsample onto 4K? I don't get that. You can do that with SLI GTX 980 Ti right?

You should do that Railven.... just get a GTX 980 Ti for the GF, then when she isn't gaming you got SLI!

Seeing people with 8K VSR videos out on youtube with SLI GTX 980Ti while Fury X is stuck at 4K.... I mean didn't AMD release teaser shots of 8K Bioshock Infinite? What was that about?

Haha, that's sort of how I ended up with the second HD 7970. I sort of complained that I couldn't get 60 FPS in Bioshock Infinite, and she just caved. But then after getting CFX I couldn't stop complaining about microstutter and profile issues with the niche games I play, and she pretty much told me to go die in a fire. (Course then I ended up with SLI GTX 660 Tis and that was another mixed bag. Woof.)

But, she didn't even bat an eye when I had an identity crisis after the Fury X reviews and I came home with 2x 290X Ref refurbs and 2x Corsair water brackets. Haha.

I personally don't think I can go back to multi-GPU. The games I play too often don't have the right support. And I'm so sensitive to microstutter it seems that it just sets me off like a canon.

I remember when frame variance was all the hype around here and people were posting their logs. I posted mine and it was clear as day that microstutter was plaguing my system. Here is to hoping DX12 does actually address this issue.
