GPU Water Cooling Chipset Block VS Full Block?

[YamahaAlex37]

If I am going to have a GPU under full load 24/7, would it be a much better idea for me to pay twice as much for a full water block as opposed to a chip block with vram heatsinks? I am worried the vram may get too hot with only heatsinks. The GPU is a XFX 6850. Thanks.

I use a universal rasa block on my 5870 with great temps. And ill be able to use that water block when I upgrade next since its universal. Win win!

Sweet!!! I really wanted to save the money and use it in the future. So something like this is fine?

...and bitcoin mining doesn't over stress the vram or anything does it?

One never done bitcoining so I couldn't tell you, but heavy gaming has never been an issue.
