VRM Heatsinks for G10'ed R9 290?

Interfectorem

So my brother is interested in picking up an NZXT Kraken G10 for his Asus DCUII R9 290, and of course there's the VRM overheating problem. So I was wondering if any of you guys had some recommendations on what to use to cool those VRMs. I've seen GELID's kit but it honestly looks insufficient, but if that's the only choice than it's better than nothing. I appreciate any feedback, advice, and input. Thanks.

Assuming you can leave mid plate on and lthe VRM heatsink on it is not going to interfere with the fan you could just take off the main cooler and attach the g10.

THERE IS NO VRM OVERHEATING PROBLEM WITH THE G10 SYSTEM!
