I know there have been some others on the market for a while like EVGAs 120mm AIO but 120mm is not enough for keeping high end GPU temps where they should be for overclocking. Then you have the NZXT G12 bracket which allows you to reuse a CPU cooler but the problems it's extremely ugly and it doesn't cool the VRM and VRAM

This new 240mm doesn't only look really good but it cuts a solid 30c off compared to a triple fan air cooled GPU.

Im going to buy one when I next upgrade my GPU

At $199 it's not cheap, but looks like a solid product with exceptional performance

Custom loop just get it done people

heavy and constant maintenance and difficult to move around

mans custom loops are really expensive where I am anyway, would cost me 1k to put in a loop that covers my gpu and cpu unfortunately

It's not too bad. I put off doing a custom loop for a while as I thought the same, but if you go with soft tubing it's pretty easy to do, and you can still move stuff around. Hard tubing is a completely different story obviously but it's not as clear cut as you're making out. Most of the parts are reusable as well so it's not a big job to change to a new GPU with a new waterblock and connect it up. You soak up most of the expense on day one.

You only need to flush and change coolant every two years.

I find soft tubing ugly so would never use it. The coolant thing depends on type used - best case I was told every 12 months, but worst case you could change it every 3 to 6 months if you use pastel type coolant https://www.primochill.com/collections/vue-unique-visual
