R9 390 Watercooling

[Zbtr]

I got an r9 390 nitro by sapphire. I can buy kraken g10 and use my old tt water 3.0 performer with it. And buy Silverstone TD2 for my cpu, anyway. If i do that will it be cooler? Also do i need vram heatsinks?

[Enderman]

yes, you should always use vram and vrm heatsinks with the G10

Do you need to watercool it? Is it for OCing?

 

Sapphire's coolers are great, I don't see the need unless you got a great overclocking card.

 

To answer your question, yes, use the VRAM and VRM heatsinks that come with it. The card will not function properly without them.

I'm not sure. They're pretty cheap if it doesn't come with them.

You really should use them, when the VRM's on GPUs get too hot they get damaged, and greatly reduce the lifespan of the card.

VRM heatsinks are the most important. Vram if you can

Here's a bunch basically as long as they fit over your VRAM chips nd don't interfere with the G10 cooler your good:
