And like everyone else, still using a (crappy) generic cpu cooler converted for a gpu. just the the fact that cpu blocks are usually not flat, those coolers will never match a (full) block, and after the hoses from a similar seahawk didnt even survive shipping, ill stay with a block (added to aio)..

Im going to go ahead and laugh at you loudly. Putting even a cheap small 120mm AIO/rad setup on a GPU is a huge increase in lower temps, noise reduction, and performance. Your preference doesnt make something not valid. Yes, a full loop with complete block is the best. But if you have an air cooled cpu that does not need a full loop, GPUs with shipped AIOs are fantastic. My fury x was awesome vs my 290x DD that was good AIB gpu.

@Agonist where do i state its my preference? im saying its a joke to put this on a 6900. a CHEAP, and loud (pump) aio designed for a cpu, on the biggest on most expensive gpu chip amd. yeah, that really makes sense. and its crappy, as they didnt even want to spend 5$ more and use an actual gpu block (read NOT full cover). but hey, i dont mind if you like to overpay to get a 50$ aio with asetek pump (probably not making it past 2-3y)
