I have a sapphire vapor-x r9 290x and i was going to install a nzxt g10, and i am confused on what heatsinks i would get for my VRM 1 cluster because the VRM 2 is cover by a heatsink already. Or whichever way it goes.

the difference is that the reference is like an upside down T while mine is in a line

how were the vrms cooled on the vapor-x cooler? you might be able to get away with just thermal tape and a small heatsink, or even not cooling them at all (since vrms are meant to stand high temps)

it should work, since the g10 doesnt look like it reaches that far down the board
