Hello,

long time no see :/

Anhow I have a problem. I just boght new 280X and af course I want to mount EK universal water block (I have whole EK water loop from before). Previously I had 5850 and I had used stock cooler for ram and GPU block. Then I bought 560Ti and I have used block for GPU and I used a vent for memory. They weren't to hot.

I wanted to do the same with 280X. To dissemble stock cooler, used it for RAM and block for VGA. And there is the problem: I can't get it to 2 pieces (I need the ram part). So I tried just VGA block and no ram coolers (just a vent blowing in to them) and it was too hot. What should I do? Any good ideas? Can I get this cooler in 2 peaces?

Thank you in advance ;)

just buy a few small heatsinks for your ram and youll be fine. something like this http://www.aquatuning.co.uk/product_info.php/info/p3054_Enzotech-RAM-cooler-BCC9-Low-Profile---passive.html
