Fury X Runs Under 50c Degrees At 32dB – PCB, Liquid Cooling Pump And Block Pictured

Will the dual fiji have two pumps? or a single, bigger pump for the two gpu's?? Bigger rad most likely right? Louder?

Might bump it to a 140mm RAD but I would expect everything else the same (2 pumps etc)

I bet they'll take the 295x2 approach and use the same size rad and pump configuration, letting the dies go higher in temperature in order to keep fan noise reasonably low

I would expect them to keep the 120mm single radiator. Pretty much every standard case made lately has a 120mm fan location somewhere within reach of the GPU. 140mm rads would restrict it much more. Not worth it for an extra 35% radiator area when you could just run at higher temps or higher fan speed.

Good points - makes sense. Maybe push/pull on the 120 stock?

Has anyone confirmed the fan specs yet?

It looked awfully close to my Scythe Gentle Typhoon AP14s, but I'm sure they used a higher RPM variant...

I think it looked like the newer ones that can come in up to 3000 RPM or something totally goofy like that but I doubt they'll need nearly that much.

It's not so much just needing the extra fan spot, it's the increased performance you'll get at higher flow rates, and the lower coolant temps (and/or quieter operation) that come with more radiating surface. There's only so much you can do on the temperature/noise curve with a single 120mm rad.

I don't see any reason to worry about removing the stock pump/block though. Pumps in series are used commonly to provide extra head pressure and add redundancy, there probably won't be a problem leaving it in. Even if you disconnect it, a disconnected pump adds minimal extra restriction. The bigger issue would be if the cooling on the VRMs isn't great, but it would have to be pretty bad to make you fork out $120 for a full coverage block unless you're going for a really pretty system.

Edit: Having a disconnected pump in the loop adds almost no restriction at standard 1-1.5GPM flow rates.

Nice find, I learned something new today. I never brushed on on dual pumps, never had the need. Makes it a little more interesting for me, but I bet the Fury barbs/hose are small, like 1/4".

How often do people with a custom loop make use of the rear 120/140mm spot? I usually see bigger rads up top or in front rather than that space, which often carries an exhaust if anything.

I make use of it, but it just has a 120mm fan as an intake. Bottom of case has 240mm radiator with push/pull, top has 360mm radiator with push/pull, front just has two 140mm fans as intake. Everything exhausts out the top.

I have my D5 pumps in series in my dual D5 XSPC bay res. Great flow.

From what I have read on thermal dissipation, dissipating 500 watts with a single 120 mm rad seems a stretch. I have read plenty of testing data on various rads and find this to be a stretch. I would LOVE CoolerMaster to publish their data to support this.

 

[.vodka]

The 295x2 does it, comfortably. >500w easily at reasonable noise on a single 120mm rad.

 

[guskline]

vodka, what temp does the aio keep it at?

 

[.vodka]

65-70°C, which outperforms every single air cooler out there willing to put up with that thermal load (7990/powercolor's devil13)... noise included. The 295x2 could get a boost with the fan Fury uses, or a push/pull of these fans.

Now, I get the point, that's nowhere what an actual loop can do with a decent rad, but it's a proven solution that is much more desirable than air cooling for these kind of cards.

 

[guskline]

When I refer to dissipating 500 watts, I may be confusing dissipation with the capacity to keep a 10 Degree delta. I recall most of the tests I read on custom water cooling rads showed their capacity to keep within a 10 degree delta of the ambient temp - a much higher standard.

I think what is being said is this rad can keep the gpu quite cool to prevent throttling.

My 290s do not exceed @41 C but I have MUCH more radiator capacity.

 

[guskline]

I agree with your analysis vodka. I also think this type of AIO cooler allows the ability to do some serious OCing without throttling.

Check my post and picture on the previous page. Coolermaster's making the AOI, and the tubing looks very similarly proportioned to the Seidon 120M pictured on the left. I pulled it off and it was 1/4" tubing.

Yeah, that wouldn't work well for someone with a 1/2" system. This looks restrictive.

That's what I'm worried about as well. I'd hate to waste a perfectly good block on the Fury X but it doesn't look like it would integrate that well for a system with 1/2" tubing.

 

[MrTeal]

It's restrictive, but you're talking about maybe two feet worth of 1/4" tubing and a couple reducers. You'll get some pressure drop, but compared to the block itself it's probably not a big deal.

The bigger issue is how you remove the stock tubing without making it impossible to refit when you sell it.
