pretty impressive looks, an art piece i would say, i can't see pricing, but i guess it will be a giant bill

Makes me think how can it be taken off again w/o spilling the coolant all over the place ?

Depends, if it's a hard tube loop then you have to drain the loop but with a soft tube loop you can sometimes remove the block without draining if you have enough room to manoeuvre to change thermal compound or install another CPU, best practise is usually drain and refill though.

frankly after owning 2 vrm+cpu motherboards now...wouldn't do it again the loss of an easy repaste that a cpu only block allows is too much my temps were fine but after moving the case they aren't anymore and to remove my current block I have to access behind, outside of the usual case tray cut so I need to remove the motherboard aka completely unbuild and rebuild the PC which I don't want to and have no time for so my advice is that you're better off using a cpu waterblock and pipe it to the vrm cooler

that's kinda the reason i went for a carbon flap, i have rigid tubing so... "a quick repaste" was back in the floppy tubing days T.T so for piece of mind i just went with a thermal grizzly carbon flap, is it as good as paste no, atleast not initially...the flap should never work better or worse after installation where with paste it might improve (if you put a bit much on there and it starts to thin/spread out more) and then it might worsen as the components expand and shrink under temperature changes pumping out a bit to much.... or in the case of crappy paste it dries out....though i must say...paste is a hell of a lot easier to get on if your case is still vertical and you just need to get in there...the flap is borderline impossible to install unless the cpu is horizontal it's in feel just a cloth sheet so no real stickyness or rigidity to speak of.
