I've been looking for an illustration indicating where the RAM and voltage regulators are on a video card so I can attach heat sinks to them. I'm liquid cooling the card but they don't make a full cover block for it. As I understand it, the R9 series automatically overclocks itself depending on how well the GPU is being cooled (not sure if this is true, but sounds cool). This being so, even not overclocked, I don't want to leave the RAM and VRM completely uncooled, so I wanted to put at least some heatsinks and attach a little fan somewhere to get some airflow across them.

Now before people start saying "Why are you liquid cooling a card like that?" "That card doesn't need liquid cooling." I'm aware that this card doesn't REQUIRE being liquid cooled, but I want to, and I want to experiment with overclocking, and I want to make sure the RAM and VRM are going to adequately taken care of.

ALL this being said, does anyone have an illustration of any videocard indicating what the RAM and VRM even look like? I just need to be able to identify them on my card.

Thanks for your time all!
