Hello. I need some help with a gpu waterblock. I got an ASUS R9 390X Strix( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121973 ) thinking that the three fans would be able to cool it just fine but I was wrong. I like the card and I cant return it. Im trying to watercool my whole system and i was wondering if there is a waterblock that fits it.

I'd prefer a full cover waterblock but if its not I can live with it.

EKWB's configurator will try to find compatible blocks, and if not, a universal (non fullcover)

 

I bought an XFX 390x because the PCB is the same layout as a reference 290x. Have you tried mounting a 92 or 80mm fan on the unused rear IO slots under the card as an intake?

No I haven't but I was thinking about that. But then if i decide to go with a costume loop I want to do the gpu too. Also I plan on getting a second one so that wont work when I add the other one. 

If I do go with a universal block like ek-vga supremacy how would i go about cooling the memory chips and the power delivery components?

you would need some other form of cooling, such as a vrm heatsink and a fan. Some GPUs have separate heatsinks for the vrms and memory.
