So i bought a cooler master seidon 120v plus and made my own bracked on a laser cutter so fit the watercooler on the gpu and a 92 mm fan above the vrm. I took some thermaltape and took coins to sit on the vrm with the thermaltape . My temps are
Gpu at full load using furrmark and firestrike is 57 °c
My vrm are in the 60 °c at full load .

Is this good or do i have to buy some heatsinks for the vrm ?

Hello! If your vram is sitting around 60c under a full load i wouldn't worry, most newer video cards are built to handle around 100c (Though I am not recommending you ever let it get that high). That being said though, I would beat some type of heat sink on there if you do plan to overclock, no brand is really better then the other, but don't go to cheap. I also recommended putting very little dab of thermal paste under the heat sinks just to help things out. I use to have a GTX 770 with a custom bracket as well, I put heat sinks with a very little dab of thermal paste and my temps dropped almost 10deg! If you have anymore questions just ask :)! Hope I was a help
