PowerColor Launches Radeon RX 7900 XTX Liquid Devil Flagship Graphics Card
PowerColor on Wednesday formally launched its flagship graphics card, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX Liquid Devil. Designed for enthusiasts with DIY liquid-cooling setups, the Liquid Devil is essentially an RX 7900 XTX Red Devil, but with a factory-fitted full-coverage water block instead of the massive air cooler. The block has been made by EK Water Blocks, and consists of a nickel-plated copper main material, with a clear-acrylic top, and some vinyl decals. The top is studded with ARGB LEDs. The block lacks fittings, but has G 1/4" threading, and PowerColor has included goodies such as an EK-Loop Leak Tester Flex kit (lets you check for coolant leaks).
The PowerColor RX 7900 XTX has an ace up its sleeves that positions it above the Red Devil OC—the "Unleash" BIOS. The card has a dual-BIOS setup, with the default BIOS being labeled "OC" and the other one being "Unleash." OC enables speeds comparable to the Red Devil OC—2395 MHz game and 2565 MHz boost (vs. 2269 MHz game and 2499 MHz boost AMD reference speeds). PowerColor is yet to spell out the clock speeds of the "Unleash" BIOS, but we're hearing that it will be even higher (possibly the highest factory OC for the RX 7900 XTX), along with increased power-limits. The PowerColor RX 7900 XTX Liquid Devil should be available from mid-February, 2023.

Wish I could figure custom loop but I can't that's why I used an AIO for many years and now I have moved to air and cards are getting bigger and bigger because they consume more power and make more heat so the 2 slots graphics card on air are gone with a good even mid-range card most of the times.
I do miss my 2slot GTX 1080 Ti Hybrid with a 120mm AIO it was the perfect card and yes to build, I brought EVGA's Hybrid set back in the day and had a GTX 1080 Ti FE.
The size of the GPU is another factor on a full custom loop imho, as huge cards won’t physically fit on some cases and can obstruct components for maintenance/upgrades.
Yeah I don't miss watercooling at all, it adds way too much weight to the build that it's a pain in the back when I want to move the PC
