EK Water Blocks, Ljubljana based premium computer liquid cooling gear manufacturer, is excited to launch the true single-slot liquid cooling solution for AMD Radeon reference design R9 Nano graphics card. EK-FC R9 Nano directly cools the GPU, HBM as well as VRM (voltage regulation module) as water flows directly over these critical areas, thus allowing the graphics card and it’s VRM to remain stable under high overclocks.
EK-FC R9 Nano water block features EK unique central inlet split-flow cooling engine design for best possible cooling performance. Such system also works flawlessly with the reversed water flow without adversely affecting the cooling performance. Moreover, such design offers great hydraulic performance, allowing this product to be used in liquid cooling systems using weaker water pumps. Unlike the original cooling solution with a single 90mm fan that comes with AMD Radeon R9 Nano and takes up two slots, EK-FC R9 Nano water block will transform the R9 Nano into a stunningly beautiful single-slot graphics card! EK encloses a single-slot I/O bracket which replaces the original two-slot in order to make installation of mutliple graphics cards easier.
The base is made of electrolytic nickel-plated copper, while the top is made of either acrylic- or POM Acetal material, depending on the variant. Plexi variants also feature two pre-drilled slots for 3mm LED diodes. Screw-in brass standoffs are pre-installed and allow for safe, painless installation procedure.
Additionally the EK-FC R9 Nano has been engineered with FC Terminal connection ports for up to four R9 Nano’s on a single ATX form factor motherboard, thus allowing for trouble-free swap out and upgrade without any additional changes to the cooling loop.

Is it really worth it the R9 Nano?
I can’t say. For some reason AMD keeps making these new cards and not selling them. Do you know someone who has a Fury or Nano? My point exactly. XDDDDD
the only people who would benefit on the nano is guys who want to build their pc so small you cant even put your hands in the case. but i guess 90% of the builders wants to show off the muscle power of their pc’s right? I know someone who has Fury but Nano? i dont know anyone who owns that mini thing
Still both cases AMD has been really sparse in supplying both so I really wonder if they really want to compete on a sales level or just technology. Because from what I can see, a GTX 980 has just been shrunk to MXM notebook form so that means a lot in terms of what NV can do. I still hope AMD can put up a fight. We need them to.
Back2Gaming what i really loved about AMD is their price to performance ratio.
That’s starting to not hold true at the moment with NVIDIA actually showing so much more performance for their price range. What AMD does best is fill in the gaps that NVIDIA doesn’t have any product for like in between the GTX 960 and GTX 970 which is a large price gap that the R9 390 fills in quite nicely. And that has worked for them quite beautifully this few generations but if they can’t fill the high-end of this generation, we’ll be stuck with the 290X for another generation where it’ll be known as the 480X presumably if they chuck the Fury X next-generation to mainstream.
Still curious how they would fill the stack next-gen. This has been a poor generation for them. 🙁
i agree how their high end cards out perform AMD cards,
I really hope we can get some Fury and Fury X benchmarks here and hopefully that damn Nano but AMD is being AMD right now. Hey AMD! Where are those samples!?
haha after you reviewed and benchmarked it can you give it to me? i haha
Let’s decide on that AFTER we get samples. Priorities priorities haha
hahahaha after you reviewed it will review it too haha
The point of having an R9 Nano is to have a power packed mini PC build. A gpu block, a radiator, a pump, hoses takes too much space than a shroud with a fan in it.
