Where are the vrm's on this R9 290?

My cards vrm layout is different from this. (You can see it in the Sapphire Vapor X 290 review here) I think it pertains to reference and reference like cards

But actually you did not specify ^^ (you have speak of R9 290 "no vapor-x) ^^ so you have 3 fans on it ? Tri-X Edition ?

edit : It is not difficult VRM's have Mosfets on them ^^

Under that aft heatsink is the vrm set. Btw When fullinfusion asked i went and searched specifically for his board. Since he said line of vrm that tells me msi used a reference like design. My board is this.

is similar model of Sapphire R9 290X Battlefield 4 Edition (( this PCB of R9 290X Gaming) is Reference PCB as first release with Turbine Fan....

if you have Tri-X Edition your PCB is (this model of pcb) and not MSI R9 290X Gaming ....

Either you are not clear in your explanations or you're not sure what you say to me I give up; I have to get up early tomorrow morning ...

Lol sorry the Sapphire VaporX is a non ref model. The Msi Gaming is ref or ref like due to vrm positioning
