Is this compatible?

I plan on upgrading my set up to water cooling ( cpu and gpu ) and i don't know if the cooler i plan to buy will work with my r9 390 because i have seen Linus change gpus to water cooling and the water block seems bigger than this one. Can any awesome person tell if this would work?

i believe that only covers the gpu core, ignoring the vrm and other components on the pcb

it will probably work but its bad for your gpu to not have its vram and vrm cooled adequately

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

Use this, and choose yourself. It's a bad idea to get a DIY kit, especially for water cooling. There are certain blocks for certain GPUs, and there is different mounting for all of the PCBs. Don't just think you can get a kit, and have it work with any CPU and GPU. The link I sent you should help, and there are plenty of people on the forums ready to help with reservoir, pump, and the rest of the plumbing.
