I have an entirely air cooled pc and i was looking at the new r9 fury x. It is liquid cooled and i was wondering if i need to get anything special for the gpu or should i just get the air cooled r9 fury?
 
Solution
Please link to your system case but AFAIK the R9 Fury X cooler is compact enough to fit into the usual top/rear exhaust fan location.
Reviews of the R9 Fury are only just in and show it to be a little slower than the bigger, watercooled 'X' part while being less expensive and a little noisier.

Solution
It should fit in one of the top slots, it's 120mm rad with fan like the two fans in top but it's fairly deep coming down into your case so you'd need to measure and make sure it wont run into anything. Als it's a little larger than 120mm with the rad so make sure it wont conflict with the other 120mm up top and the 5.25" bays on your drive cage.
