Universal GPU Waterblock and all the additional chips on my video card.
Universal GPU Waterblock and all the additional chips on my video card.
I have a Sapphire Radeon R9 280 Dual-X OC 3GB GDDR5 and plan to install a universal water block (likely an EK VGA Supremacy). If I understand correctly, I should add several passive sinks on the other chips in my card so that all the data doesn't overheat.
Here are my questions:
1) Which components require passive sinks? Are only the ones around the GPU affected? What about the small ones in a vertical row to the right?
2) Do you have any suggestions for suitable passive sinks?
This part of the watercooling sticky addresses the specific issue mentioned.
