Let's WC a Radeon VII...

[ccityinstaller]

Okay guys,

I need to build something to take the place of a full cover gpu block so we can really see what these cards can do when we get the first public driver that allows overclocking. I do not want to do the AIO route since I have 780mm of rad space, but I need to figure out what to use to cool the VRMs (at least the main ones) actively.

So far, I think I am going to use this for the core:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0067LY066/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3GO5VFCNOM5I7&psc=1 which is an Alphacool HF 41.

Any ideas or inputs? I prefer to shop at Amazon if possible due to the speed of shipping and the fact I have a $100 GC I can use.

make sure you buy high quality heatsinks for the other components. I'm pretty sure the backplate on VII has cooling attributes as well and acts as a heatspreader, think I saw that in GN video review.

VII reminds me of vega a lot. Absolutely flies in some titles, launch drivers are meh, and AMD fucked up default clocks/voltage.
