Powercolor R9 290X with "The Red Mod"

[WgizmO]

Hi there,

I decide I will give a go to "The Red Mod" on my new r9 290x using NZXT G10. I will post guide here including pics and some video for people who still thinking about it and how easy it is to do.

First of all I will write down what I did use for this mod:

1. Powercolor Radeon R9 290X



2. Alpenf?hn Passive DRAM / VRAM Chip Coolers



3. Corsair Hydro H90



4. Be Quiet! Silent Wings Fan Pure - 92mm



5. Kraken G10


6. Akasa AK-TT12-80 Thermal Adhesive Tape

7. Akasa AK-FN062 Apache Black Super Silent 140mm


This is how I did it in few steps:
1. Removing stock cooler:

2. Cleaning card from old thermal compounds:




3. Preparing VRM and Ram heat sinks:








4. Putting heat sinks on card:






5. Getting Kraken G10 ready with replacement of the fan with Be Quiet! Silent Wings Fan:


6. Installing Kraken G10 on card:








7. Final Look before cable management and dust remove:
