would a single 240mm rad be sufficient to cool both cpu & gpu(both OC'd)?

Well maybe not on your card, but I'm absolutely certain my PC is crashing because my VRM is overheating on my R9 290 playing BF4. After it happened several times with GPU temps in the 60's, I felt the VRM, and it was BLAZING hot. I'm using a Sigmacool bracket, and a Noctua 140mm fan in the side vent of my case (blowing on the GPU).
I'm wondering if the fan on this NZXT bracket would cool the VRM any better? It doesn't look like it blows directly on all of the chips (doesn't even look like it would blow on half of them).

VRM =! Memory.
VRM = voltage regulation module
Memory = onboard graphics memory
VRM DOES require heatsinks, memory does not.

Just wondering how we cool the VRM 1 and 2 with this cooler? buy separate heatsinks? Also with cards like the 290/x the VRM closest to the video connections will have pretty much no airflow over it. That will be a problem.
If somebody can explain this im getting one straight away.
