I have a R9 290 with modded with a Deepcool Maelstrom 240T , OCed GPU temps are 65 oC but the VRMs can get over 105 oC

I wonder if I can add an EK block to the AIO loop like this

AIO Pump + block on CPU > vga block > radiator

 

my CPU is i5 4460 0.91V 55 oC gaming (plan to upgrade to 1230V3)

will the aio pump be sufficient?

the pump spec: 2.4W - 2200rpm

you can always try to ghetto it in but I wouldn't think the AIO pumpt will be enough, especially for the custom GPU waterblock

 

instead look at Alphacool Universal GPU blocks

CPU: Intel i7 5820K @ 4.20 GHz | MotherboardMSI X99S SLI PLUS | RAM: Corsair LPX 16GB DDR4 @ 2666MHz | GPU: Sapphire R9 Fury (x2 CrossFire)

FireStrike // Extreme // Ultra // 8K // 16K

i don't think a 240mm rad could actually take the heat of both a CPU and 290 and dissipate it effectively, especially if you plan to OC/keep it OCed. EDIT:Reread it, do you mean to bassically create a sortof AIO solution for just the GPU?

 

you might be able to make up you own solution, possibly using similar solutions for RAM watercooling like these:

I just worry about the vrm temps. If set to 1170mhz @ +100mv vrms will get to 116 oC. And there is 2 fans blowing to the board 4cm away as you can see in the picture. I hate to know that I can't game at 1170mhz even when my gpu and gpu temps allow it
