Preparing the Radeon RX 480
We removed the casing, the heatsink and even the memory cooling plate, as well as the thermal pads of the memory chips. Once the card is bare, we move on to the next step.
Adding Some Ram Sinks
Since the EK Thermosphere only covers the GPU, you will need to add some low profile ram sinks to graphics card. Here, I purchased 2 types – square ones for the ram and long rectangle ones of the VRMs. Although these will only offer passive cooling, it will help cool the ram and the VRMs to a certain degree.
