Need help locating the vrm's on my 4890

Pariah36022 · Dec 24, 2011

So I ordered a new gpu cooler but wanted to make sure I cooled the vrm's good. So I was wondering if someone would help me locate them.

I think this is a image of the card.

Those are the VRMs that need to be cooled.

The priority in cooling a high-end GPU goes like this:

Glad to know you're keeping an eye out for the VRMs! And welcome to TPU if you haven't already been welcomed! :toast:

What about the 2 to the right of the memory on the bottom?

Those two are probably for the ram and don't pull much current but if you have the extra heatsinks go for it

I use a IR pen and check temps of chips and see whats kick out the heat.
