Can I Use VRAM Heatsinks with Stock Cooler ?

[EK2001]

Can I use VRAM hetsinks like this: https://www.amazon.com/Cosmos-Copper-Cooling-Heatsinks-cooler/dp/B00637X42A With stock cooler of Sapphire R9 280 ?

Those are RAM not VRAM heatsinks.
You really don't need them unless you don't have ddr3/ddr4

What? They are 100% heatsinks for vram.


To the OP: No idea if they will fit on the card with the stock cooler still attached, but they are the right heatsinks for vram chips, i have used them when liquid cooling graphics cards.

I am having artifacts in GTA V. In another site someone said it can be about memory overheating. If I buy these will it help?

Check the temps on your GPU first. What is the rest of the build?( Mostly CPU and PSU)

Then there isn't a problem in temps. You have a low quality PSU, so that may be the problem.

Very unlikely to be the vram overheating.

set the OC back to stock settings

you overclocked the VRAM to much

 

[SkittishGaming]

Did you OC VRAM?
