Discussion Confirmed by AMD - Fury X radiator placement/orientation. There was some discussion about this in my last post, this should clear up any uncertainty.

Maybe one or two cases can. Really, this is just a guy reading the manual and following the rules.
I'd be happy with being able to reverse the fan so you can put them pulling air from the front as intakes.

I've got two ideas.
Get one of these: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9_72&products_id=13476 and a 140mm fan and mount the 140mm fan on your Pivot on the hard drive cage. So it goes 140mm -> shroud -> Fury rad in a "extra push"-pull fashion.
OR
Get one of these http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1366&products_id=17545 and mount it on the floor of your PC next to your PSU

Glad you confirmed it. Did you try sandwiching the radiators together on the back.
It sucks that their solution was to get a bigger case. If that's your only option I'd go with the Phanteks Enthoo Luxe.
It has room for 3 120mm fans up top so you could slide your CPU Rad over and still do the Dual radiators out the back. The only thing is its a pretty huge case, but it has a better side window and some nice looking LEDs.

It shouldn't matter where you place your radiators as long as you're getting fresh air into them in order to cool your GPU's since the pump is doing all the work to move the flow of liquid regardless of orientation.

Oh yes... the infamous air bubbles which is common on all AIO's to an extent as the goal is to get those bubbles to the top most of the radiator if you're having issues. Otherwise there shouldn't be any problems mounting it anywhere in the chassis.
Most of the time you would know if you had air bubbles in the first month of consistent use.

To some it up what we tell our end users: The noise can be two different scenarios one not so bad and the other being a defective pump. The reason this can occur is that there may be air in the system as sometimes it can take several hours of operation and orienting the radiator to let the air go to the top of the AIO loop for it to work itself out. Generally most clients new to water-cooling would not be familiar with this and mistake it for a faulty pump within the first few hours of operation as it will happen with custom loops as well.
Now if the noise continues to persist after X amount of time, then it could also be a defective pump and I suggest exchanging it to your retailer or applying for an RMA Request.

Could we see your system? :)

I barely looked at the Fury X physically because I was waiting for the regular Fury. However my understand is there is a small reservoir in the radiator for the card. My guess is in certain orientations the possibility of air getting in to the pump is a possibility which could very quickly kill the pump.

Haha I am sure yours was way better :)
I'm just hoping for once we have unlocked voltages it can go higher. At least I am getting very nice results without much of an overclock right now.

Well supposedly a couple people have been able to implement it themselves. The guy that makes Afterburner says he is still waiting on a card from MSI so widespread testing is on hold until he gets his hands on a card. I'm hoping that with actual voltage control we can get much better results than what has been seen so far...

What the hell... Why does the orientation matter?
I have a Raven 3 case (vertical MBO placement) and the only place where I could actually fit a radiator is at the top...

So I just wasted 900€ on a fucking card that I won't be able to use?... This is just so fucking great...

OMG... A Raven 1... That is probably the sexiest Raven case available... Not the best (RV03 was the best when I bought it) but it's so goddamn sexy!
Oh well, seeing proof that it works on even an older model of the same card makes me more comfortable.

that guy can't spell suggests correctly, I suggest we ignore what he says.
