Hi all,
I'm thinking about making an ultra-compact gaming PC build. While I'm normally an NVidia guy, the new Fury cards are really a natural choice for an ultra small form factor build. The Fury Nano is the smallest, but I'd also like to do a water loop if possible. Since space is a concern, I had the idea of getting a Fury X and modding the cooling loop to include the CPU.
Using the included loop provides a pump, GPU block, reservoir, and radiator in a very compact package. And I'm looking to go very compact.
The Fury X has a TDP of 275watts, and the CPU would be at most 40-some watts on top of that. From my previous water cooling experience, a good 2x120mm radiator (@21fpi) can effectively dissipate 600watts with moderate amounts of airflow. So ~330 watts on a single 120mm rad is pushing things, but not impossible. It depends on the quality of the Fury's included radiator.
The biggest hurdle would be expanding the included loop without creating any leaks.
Any thoughts on whether something like this would be possible? Thanks!
