Watercooling NOOB - quick question, GPU specific

I know nothing about water cooling. At all. But it's something I'm considering doing for a totally new build later this year. Possibly.

As part of that or rather instead of having to do a whole system, is there such a thing as being able to fit a self-contained watercooling thing to a GPU? To a Titan X for example.

ie can you buy something and fit it yourself, like you find in the prefitted AMD 295x2 or the newly released EVGA 980 hybrid like this https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-279-EA&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=1812

I'm guessing not, but would be nice to hear it confirmed.

Thanks Disco! Looks like there are things like that out there, which I genuinely wasn't aware of. Would be for a Titan X by the way. Looks like they do HG10's for titans and titan blacks so I prsume thye would fit a titan x? Or they'll release one if not.
Will look into it more, cheers again.
 
Don't mess around bud and go the full shibang. The outlay isn't cheap but it is easy to do (take your time) and heat is never an issue.

Yeah probably, cheers Greg. I've never done a full on build specifically for gaming before (always had just one decent comp to do work and play on) but I'm going to go for 2 separate builds later this year.

I might as well go the whole shibang :) Just the thought of water in my case, knowing nowt about it, fills me with trepidation. Leaks! The leaks!
 
Thanks as usual chaps. Much appreciated.

Have to say the Titan X aint doing bad on air. Pushed my overclock on the core up to 175 now (I know, I'm cautious and taking it steady!) and can still stay at around 80 degrees max with a custom fan curve of only around 55% at this temp. Pretty good.
