AMD and naked VRMs shouldn't be done IMO get some low profile heatsinks to put on them

I know that I have posted about this a lot but this is the last time.

 

Would this be good enough since I know naked VRMs are bad but this has a fan upgrade.

 

Would just this kit be enough?

naked VRMs aren't bad if you have a ton of airflow, which that cooler would provide.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

Guess the Kraken isn't the way to go then :/

 

Artic Accelero it is.
