I have all of the components to complete a Kraken g12 mod on my EVGA RTX 2080 XC. I feel like I have a good handle on all of the steps except for putting heatsinks on the VRM. I know that there's some debate as to whether or not they're necessary, but I want to put them on as I don't want to risk ruining my expensive graphics card. I have done a ton of searches to see if I could figure this out myself, but unfortunately most of the threads with drawings are on 2080 TIs or cards that aren't EVGA.

 

Could anyone explain (or, better yet, draw) where I should put the heatsinks to fully cover the VRMs? I've done a lot of research and I'm 99% sure the attached picture below is the same PCB as my card. I would be most appreciative. Thanks in advance!

Thank you very much, everyone!  This pretty well matches what I had learned through my research, but it's nice to know for sure.  I really appreciate the help (and swift replies)!
