I really don't understand the Fiji lineup. If nano is a full fuji chip with lower clock speeds and no other limitations, the X makes no sense. Does it?
Couldn't you get a nano chip and sufficiently cool it (probably custom water), oc it to at or above X levels (assuming voltage lock is released at some point)? nano will surely be less expensive than X, and with a smaller footprint anyone making custom water loops surely would choose the nano in this config instead of the full X.
or does it not have enough power? oh wait, nano is only 8 pin to X's 2 x 8 pin.. right? Nevermind that then.
Actually, that kind of irks me. full X is AiO or custom loop only with 2 x 8 pin, nano is full fiji but limited by power so 1 x 8 pin... so what is the point of the pro card being cut down at all? why would they cut it down and lower clock speeds? for all we know fiji doesn't actually need the water cooling at all and can handle itself just fine with air. Now we don't even have the option of finding out. That really frustrates me. How will a full fiju nano compete with the cut down fiji pro? Sheesh the nano will probably win if sufficient clock speeds are there.
Nano can be built on custom pcb boards right? any chance manufacturers will build these boards with 2 x 8 pins so they can be OC'd like crazy?
