Questions about the ARCTIC Accelero Xtreme IV on a 980ti

[boed]

Hello,

I have a gift cert for dell and the only 980ti they offer is the PNY Geforce GTX 980ti. That would make my nice new quiet system too loud for me.

1 - has anyone used the Arctic Accelero Extreme IV on a 980ti? Any advice?

2 - will it work on any 980 ti card?

3 - Some person on YouTube said it didn't come with little radiators for the GPU side of the board and they got too hot even with the cooling on the top of the card. Any place to get good ones with the variety of sizes I want or is there any plate for the GPU side of the card I could use?

4 - any experience you can share on this would be helpful

I could use a lot of spoon feeding as I've never tried to put a replacement cooler on a GPU (CPU - yes - many). This looks significantly more involved than a simple CPU cooler and I don't even know what all the parts are. I'm guessing the 15mmx10mm chips are memory, the 10x10mm are moseft - not sure about the smaller black chips or tiny things taken from this picture in the blue outline -


I'm trying to use this as a guideline for what parts to expect to purchase although I'm not sure I'll be able to cut the original cover like they dis so I'm worried about how to cool the little tiny guys in the blue area.

Also I'm not sure how to affix the radiators - thermal pads, glue...
