As the title, NZXT's new gpu cooler.

It's a NZXT bracket that lets you use a kraken x40/krakenx60 with is to cool a gpu!

Quite cool imo for those not wanting to make loops. I'd definitely want to try this some time!

Looks a bit weird to me. No cooling on the RAM, a separate fan for the VRMs? Why watercool if you're going to put an air cooling fan right next to the water block? Looks like they've made it easy for them to manufacture, rather than a good cooling solution for your card. That's probably what's enabled them to make one product that fits 92 cards.

Yeah, I guess that's why its only $30 lol.
It's targeting the people who don't want to or cant make loops etc. Hassle free, quick easy job.

Ah, that makes sense then. I was about to ask if it was particularly cheap, as that would be the only reason to buy it over more complete waterblock solutions that addressed the whole card, rather than just the GPU itself.

Pulse modding already make a bracket to enable a Corsair or Antec all in one block/pump to fit a gpu plus a fan for the vrm's and that only cost's £9.

full block custom system for the win, as a newbie until recently building your own isnt that hard, its just bloody expensive

Interesting, yes, new, no

these brackets have been available for many years, this is just another company taking something designed by the overclocking community then stamping their name on it and charging more. Arctic tried the same thing and included the AIO cooler but charged an extra £100 for the privilege, not surprisingly it failed spectacularly

You can get them off a popular auction site for under a tenner, not as flash mind you but same thing, and yu get to choose which fan you want to use with it.
