I'm going to put together a water cooling loop for my PC soon, and I'm intending on hooking both my CPU and GPU up to it. The CPU is fine; my problem is with my video card.
I've been looking around, and there's no dedicated full card water block for the R9 270X. As far as I understand it, I'll need to cool the GPU itself, the VRAM blocks and the voltage regulators in order to successfully cool it without the stock fans.
I've managed to find a solution for cooling the GPU; XSPC's Raystorm GPU block will work, according to their tech support. My questions are;
1) Where are the VRAM and voltage regulators on an XFX R9 270X card, and
2) How can I cool them without integrating them into the water loop?
Thanks.
