[Updated] EKWB and XSPC show their waterblocks for Fury X

[Bouzoo]

I'm sure that for some people the fact that Fury X is only water cooled might be a problem due to those radiators, especially if using more than 1. Well here are different solution, and they got here pretty fast. Enjoy the porn.

 

Quote from their rep on overclock.net:

There you go, first sneak peak:

• Will come with single-slot bracket included and in all four versions (but no CSQ this time)
• All five backplates available (black, nickel, red, blue, gold/yellow)
• Single-slot height compliant!

First batch will be ready and distributed worldwide before you will have your card in hands

 

 

This one is slightly larger and takes 2 slots, but it's also a looker, especially with those LEDs. Not sure about other colors except blue atm. Also backplates are coming soon.

SPC is not staying behind the competition and they also have Fury X water block in the works. It’s a full cover block, but unlike EKWB’s this one will need 2 slots. AMD announced Fury X will only be available with the reference cooler. It means that for now the only customized cooling solution are the water blocks.

 

 

 

Both look really nice, which one would you pick?

All that stubby single slot performance. Sexy for the SFF builders out there.

looks like their 970itx block

EK only got a few kind of blocks that they use on all the cards, exept deals like EVGA Hydro Copper.

does EK make single-slot bridges?

does EK make single-slot bridges?

If they don't yet my guess is that they will.

With the size of this card and the thickness of it, I should run a 4 way x-fire. Should be an Open CL beast. Can't wait for all the ray tracing. (I know 4 way is not practical for gaming).

Dat single-slot

AMD said you can run 8 if your on linux.

 

with this you can have a crazy 3 or 4 way on a mATX board.

[Texhnlyze]

Can't wait to see it in ATX builds.

Are there any motherboards that will take video cards in adjacent slots? I thought they all assumed at least one and up to three slots between crossfired cards.

 

They should sell cards with empty waterblocks preinstalled so you don't have to pay for and not use the stock cooler.

-shrug- AMD is kinda asking for it by cramming all of the output ports into one slot on this card and the 295x2. Maybe 3 displayports and 1 HDMI port will become the new accepted standard video card output config for top end cards.

[SonoDanshi]

I hate the stock AIO on the Fury X, and the EK block looks fantastic. This needs to be the future (small, single slot, no DVI on top end cards) and Nvidia should pay extremely close attention. The EVGA K|ngp|n is the only single slot top end Nvidia card I'm aware of and the 980Ti derivative is going to be silly money once you add a block.

[TroubleKlef]

Very nice.

And this is why mini dtx needs a comback.

You'd have to run most of them at only 4 PCIe lanes. 2 x8 and 6 x4 is the best you could do.

The standard should be 4 mini DP or Thunderbolt and then an HDMI 2.0. Let the dinosaur connectors die. If you absolutely want 10-bit 4:4:4 color on your 4K 60Hz TV, fine, HDMI 2.0. For everyone else, just include at least 1 mini-DP to DP adaptor and make sure someone's supplying them in large quantities.

Damn it would look great with a red coolant on it

Agreed, and there are heaps of mini itx cases that list support for mini dtx but finding a one with a new chipset and socket is not so easy.
