Hi Guys!

 

   I'm a noob and needs help, please see my attached photo of my crappy 1060 gpu, can You guys help and show me where is the vrm? Under the aluminum fins have 4 or 5 small black rectangular component/parts. I ask because i have an arctic accelero hybrid 3-120mm (generic) which comes with small aluminum heat sink pieces which will be glued using thermal glue to VRM but i don't know where are the VRM's on my card :( 

 

   Thanks in advanced!

Vrms are the things under the heatsinks :P.

 

Well I guess the inductors (big grey things next to the heatsink) also count as part of the vrm but the stuff you want to cool is the stuff under the heatsink.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Hi Doc,

   Thanks for the quick reply. Good thing I asked first. I was thinking to glue the heat sink pieces on the big black rectangular things around the GPU core and medium sized rectangular grey things beside the aluminum heat sink :D

Big black things around the core is the memory. You're gonna need some cooling for that so definitely put heatsinks on there :P 

 

You don't need any heatsinks for the inductors (grey things). Only the smaller black things that are already covered by the heatsink really need to be covered. Everything else should be ok.
