[SOLVED] Cooling VRMs on Zotac 1070 Mini

[Wail3Y]

So I've been having cooling issues on my 1070 mini as I live in a hot environment. The core usually hits 85 degrees.
I decided to put my old Corsair H55 on it and got some good results but I'm worried about the VRM cooling.
If I were to buy some small heatsinks where should I put them?

Here's the card

Thanks in advance.

you could just face a fan towards you card

This card takes 150w so I'm afraid the VRMs will overheat without cooling

I'm pretty certain that the VRMs are the components saying "AIO", so these are the ones to cool.
I'm currently considering to do the same thing - mount a Corsair H55 on the card using the G12 bracket.
How did you put the H55 on the GPU? Did you use the G12 bracket or a custom solution? I'm curious, as someone on reddit tried and said the bracket hit the capacitors, but i assume you could just cut part it to fit somehow.
Pictures would be greatly appreciated

have you had any comment further about if the 1070 mini fits with the bracket?

I ended up going with a Zotac 1080 mini, and cut the bracket with an angle grinder to make it fit. I only have the part holding the water block left, so no cooling fan for RAM/VRMs. The solution works perfectly. I overclocked RAM by 400 MHz and GPU by ~200 MHz and it’s absolutely stable and quiet.
