Liquid cooled 290X hits extremely high VRM1 temps

[TwilightRavens]

So I need some advice, recently I bought and installed a Kraken G10 + a Corsair H75 and the core temps are nice and frosty, but the VRM1 temps during a vally benchmark crawled up to 127 degrees celcius. I have installed the gelid enhancement kit with the heatsinks for the 290X including the VRM1 heatsinks, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Is there anything I can purchase to bring the temps down or am I pretty much screwed?Any alternative kits or advice is welcome.

Edit: Also I wouldn't care so much if i was upgrading my gpu, but I don't plan on upgrading it for at least 2 more years or until AMD releases a gpu that can run on the same level as the GTX 1080 ti, so longevity is a must.

Anyone?

Fixed, turned out I didn't have enough case fans to direct the heat away from the VRM. Overclocked way higher (1150/1525 so far) and VRM barely get to 85 degrees.

Sorry didnt see this thread before.

Yeah VRM heatsinks work well, but you need sufficent airflow in the case to remove the heat.

Yeah the case fans dropped it from 125 degrees Celsius down to about 80, which is fine considering it was throttling with the stock cooler. I now have it running at 1160/1575. So let this be a future lesson to anyone that thinks case fans aren't THAT important.
