Which specific R9 390 is it? PCB design may differ between vendors.

 

This might work

Thanks for your reply

Gigabyte version G1gaming, do I need a separate radiator for that option?, I looked at it before and I read that I need vram heatsinks as well, where can I get those?

Bad news, while looking around i found this

I messaged the tech support and he said the kraken will not fit because the gigabyte isn't a reference design. -Derek129

I also checked Corsair's bracket solution but they also require reference PCB.

Thank you allot for your research

Can you recommend a specific water block since there's allot on that list

+ I need a radiator right? I don't have any knowledge in water cooling so please help me out

Thank you!

Well it will cost you some money  

 

You basicly need to get EKWB kit + GPU waterblock.

So you are looking at around 350€ to start.

 

What's your budget?

I would like to stay under 100$ for everything (radiator, block, etc), is there an option?

If not, is there a better fan cooler?

Nah you won't get custom water cooling system for that price.

No idea which AIO under 100$ will give you any better resaults.

Will any of these be good, do they fit?

So I use the Corsair HG10 GPU bracket with an H80i v2 AIO on my GTX 980. I have it at 1500Mhz (1.212V) and after hours of 100% usage it never gets above 50C. I'm pretty happy with it. Since I already had the AIO it only cost me $40 for the HG10 (I also bought a GPU support bracket from mnpctech because of the GPU sag for $30 so I guess I also have to add in that cost, but you can also use something as simple as fishing line for that if aesthetics are less important to you).

I wish I don't have a bracket that fits my card

Can any one recommend any AIO cooler?

Are the ones I wrote on top good?

[Mnpctech]

The Mnpctech GPU Support Bracket worked perfectly with your set-up, Thank you for your support!

I don't recoomend that AIO cooler to be applies on your GPU.

Sure when companies make hybrid, that's another stroy and it's great.

 

But if you wanna do something like Kraken G10 + AIO cooler ... expect some problems.

Well the only real problem is VRM cooling since AIO will only cool your core. While VRM1, VRM2 and VRAM will be overheating. Maybe not VRAM, since those chips are not running hot and can take high temps pretty well.

But VRM ... with stock cooler you get more than 80°C on them. So after you put on AIO, even if you put heatsinks on those VRMs, you will still have too much overheating.

 

I wouldn't recommend that.
