Ek Thermosphere on Sapphire R9 390

[StormGamer25]

If I want to put the thermosphere on my GPU, how would I go about cooling the rest of the card? (Mosfets, ram, etc)

[Enderman]

you put heatsinks on the vram and VRM and make sure your case has good airflow

i would not recommend doing this but here is a diagram i painted the vram is red  vrm are in yellow. please someone add on to this if its not all of them but i think this about it.

yeah stuff like that, but 7x7mm is a bit small

look for ones about the size of your vram chips

i dont think they come with adhesive thermal pads though, you need some of that

they usually make long thin heat sinks for vrms but i haven't done this myself so not positive

Well, found mosfet coolers. But, they're bronze, not black. It bothers me.

you could use car engine block paint it holds up to the heat and wont impact cooling to much i would just put painters tape on the bottom of the heat sink that way the paint isnt hindering heat
