ASUS STRIX R9 Fury DC3 OC Review @ Vortez

Direct Copper, seems good right?  Asus calls their upgraded cooling solution DirectCU which I'm going to assume means it is a core contact design.  (heatpipes contact the chip)  These designs cool rather well but are plagued with "capacity" problems.

Enter DirectCU III, aka DC3. This major upgrade to ASUS’ cooling solution has been fed to a number of recently released cards including: R9 390X, R9 Fury and the graphics card in the spotlight today; R9 FURY. The STRIX R9 FURY DC3 OC arrives with a triple fan configuration which promises to deliver 30% better cooling performance and should be 3X quieter. Not only is this graphics card custom cooled but it’s also factory overclocked to squeeze even more out of AMD’s flagship GPU.

I really need to get on the STRIX train and see how good the cards are against the Classified line from EVGA.  (Or FTW now *roll*)
