A 120mm radiator is enough.

 

If you're doing AiO, you could get an H55 and it would cool it more than enough. There's a 390X by Powercolor that's cooled by a single rad and it's temps are great.

Hi i want to watercool my R9 390 when i get my new pc case (h440) and i just want to know if a 240mm radiator i enough to watercool it.

If you're doing AiO, you could get an H55 and it would cool it more than enough. There's a 390X by Powercolor that's cooled by a single rad and it's temps are great.

 

You guys should note that the Powercolor with the stock 120mm rad has a fan cooling the VRAM and VRM. OP isn't going to have the fan if he goes with an aftermarket watercooling system and the card won't fare well for long if the VRAM and VRM are left uncooled. I'd definitely go with a full cover block and a 240mm rad no doubt.

Or he could just use something like the Kraken G10 bracket, which has cooling for the VRM's?

G10 isn't compatible with 390X. Neither is Corsair HG10. Something like that would be a step in the right direction but the VRM could still do with heatsinks. Which, a reasonable person would imagine, came with those modder's nightmares, but no. A fan blowing at bare components isn't, let's say, very efficient. :D (skim trough this check out the FLIR images)

Those things were a promising idea, especially for Radeons which are notorious for both heat and noisy stock cooling, but it turned out that they don't quite cut it. I'm not one tiny bit surprised that they didn't make a version for 300-series. Nor am I sorry about it TBH.
