Hello, I'm all new to GPU-Cooling and I hope you guys can help me.
I have a MSI 1070 Ti Aero (same PCB als 1070 Ti FE) and I have bought the Arctic Accelero Xtreme III to achieve better Temps after I have a roomier case.
This cooler has a variety of heatsinks included for VRAM and VRM cooling. The location of the VRAM is no problem, but concerning the VRM, I'm not quite sure which of all those black blocks have to be covered.
When I removed the stock cooler, I could see, that thermal pads were only on the components, marked with a red and yellow cross (see attached photo). However, I was wondering if the comopnents with a green cross have to be covered with heatsinks as well. I was also wondering if the components with the yellow cross need to have heatsinks at all, since their footprints is so small that I fear the heatsinks will not stick well.
Another concern: right next to and between those black blocks are tiny metal-parts sticking out of the PCB so that they are on level with the black blocks. Now if I take a wide Heatsink to cover - let's say - 2 blocks at once, will this be a problem if the metal part also touches the heatsink or do these many metal parts have to be isolated so there won't be a short-circuit (metal parts indicated with blue dots)?
