NZXT Releases the Kraken G10 Liquid Cooling GPU Bracket
With rapid developments in the world of all-in-one liquid cooling, CPU cooling has become simple, cost-effective and most importantly, powerful. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for aftermarket GPU cooling. At least not until now.
The Kraken G10 is designed to finally bring high performance, cost-effective cooling to the GPU by incorporating existing all-in-one liquid cooling technology to a majority of modern video cards, regardless of chipset or manufacturer.Made entirely of steel, the Kraken G10 bracket allows users to mount NZXT Kraken coolers as well as non-NZXT brand liquid coolers to their GPU with ease. (See compatibility list for compatible coolers) Included with the bracket is a 92 mm fan used to cool the VRM and other video card components.
Combined with the high performance abilities of the Kraken cooler, the Kraken G10 offers over 40% cooling increases over stock coolers, a level of performance that is traditionally only achievable with a costly custom liquid cooled setup. Combined with Nvidia's GPU Boost 2.0 or AMD's PowerTune, Kraken G10 equipped video cards can perform cooler and faster than ever.
The Kraken G10 also includes zip-tie points to hide tubing behind its slick exterior, ensuring your video card looks just as amazing as it performs. Available now for just $29.99, the Kraken G10 comes in black, white or red and can be purchased directly from the NZXT armory store.

BUT, this seems rather big and uncomfortable. (that's what she said)
I'll defo check one of these.
Seems like a great solution really, sadly can't find a compatibility list yet.
This will be a boon to NZXT they’ll sell a bunch of these kit and probably their AIO, even though other units can be used. Man R9 290(X) with this make them a really elegant solution. Good engineering and smart pricing NZXT, hope you’re rewarded to the forward engineering.
Edit: Looking at more pic's on their site it appears they mount everything with the 4 screw that attach the pump to chip, they never use any of the original cooler mount points to help stiffen/support the PCB. Had they punched a couple more holes and had spacers with screws to better sandwich the PCB and heavy bracket together. That's what I thought originally... would've been better. Also, might it need another support from all the weight being only held up by the PCI-E slot connector. Nice but I think I’d do so more mods to make even better.
Sadly no HD7970/280X support...
But my question is, can you fit a cpu block in there to make it part of a custom loop?
Now that would be extra cool (pun intended).

I really wanted to order a custom one from him but too bad he went missing.
Still, it's nice to know i could get one from NZXT.

The compatibility list is based on AMD Radeon and NVIDIA's reference board layout only. Please check the height restriction drawing before purchase.
Right now there we are not considering making one work for the h80i or h100i units.
