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.

addbotwould a single 240mm rad be sufficient to cool both cpu & gpu(both OC'd)?
Depends, but I would say generally yes.

radrokMemory doesn't get that hot, I use to bench at 7,5 Ghz DDR5 and it's barely warm to the touch.
Well maybe not on your card, but I'm absolutely certain my PC is crashing because my VRM is overheating on my R9 290 playing BF4. After it happened several times with GPU temps in the 60's, I felt the VRM, and it was BLAZING hot. I'm using a Sigmacool bracket, and a Noctua 140mm fan in the side vent of my case (blowing on the GPU).
I'm wondering if the fan on this NZXT bracket would cool the VRM any better? It doesn't look like it blows directly on all of the chips (doesn't even look like it would blow on half of them).

VRM =! Memory.

VRM = voltage regulation module

Memory = onboard graphics memory

VRM DOES require heatsinks, memory does not.

Duh! Sorry. I meant VRam.

Just wondering how we cool the VRM 1 and 2 with this cooler? buy separate heatsinks? Also with cards like the 290/x the VRM closest to the video connections will have pretty much no airflow over it. That will be a problem.

If somebody can explain this im getting one straight away.
