The overall profile of the cooler is a little over two slots in thickness. Sapphire uses a backplate on the PCB with a separate die-cast mounting frame for the remainder of the graphics card's length. The rear of the Sapphire R9 Fury Tri-X OC reveals the shortened PCB which is dwarfed by the large cooling solution. Underneath the fans is a high density aluminium heatsink with a large copper heatpipe array which makes contact with the GPU through a solid copper transfer plate. Sapphire's latest iteration Tri-X cooling solution uses three 90mm fans, all of which have a dual ball-bearing design situated within a shroud designed to control airflow and provide additional rigidity for the graphics card. In the bit-tech test labs for today is the Sapphire R9 Fury Tri-X OC graphics card which features a slight factory overclock to 1,040MHz on the core, and the company's latest-generation triple-fan cooling solution. Full-sized air-cooled solutions are the norm for the initial wave of R9 Fury graphics cards which consists of two at launch, one from ASUS and one from Sapphire. AMD hasn't mandated a default cooling solution for the R9 Fury giving its board partners more flexibility to innovate with their own custom designs. Aside from the aforementioned alterations the R9 Fury is still a powerful graphics card equipping 4GB of high-bandwidth memory and a similar 275W TDP to the flagship R9 Fury X.
