Where is Gigabyte R9 390 VRM2?

So looking at putting a Kraken G10 on my Gigabyte R9 390.

If so I will also need to put some heatsinks on the the RAM and VRMs.

Heatsinks for the RAM seem easy enough, but the VRMs I am not so sure. Also I can't even figure out where the VRM2 is for this card (see image: https://postimg.org/image/odj063ze7/).

I am thinking these for the VRM1 (attached with some Sekisui 5760 thermal tape), one heatsink per MOSFET and Inductor:

Or should I look at something larger to cover the MOSFET and the Inductor like this:

Also what is the VRM2 situation? Are they MOSFETs and Inductors at the top and bottom of my screenshot?

Any help would be appreciated!

The mosfets are ic's next to the square metal looking boxes labelled Magic which are the inductors.
Most of the power and heat is going to be generated by the main bank of VRMs on the right hand side of your picture. The VRM2 is probably only providing power for the vram.
 
Use the first MOSFET and Inductor link on the Core VRM on the right of the PCB. You can use them on the VRAM VRM too if you like.
