By incorporating an EK Water Block this bundle represents the epitome of what a liquid cooling PC should be, as having the best motherboard paired with the finest liquid cooling monoblock, users will have an enjoyable setup and flawless experience.

This is a limited time offer, users who want to experience a limited edition bundle from GIGABYTE and EKWB need to act fast as limited quantities are available.

As long as Gigabyte doesnt overprice the combo, it's nice to see monoblock bundled with motherboard.
