Is there a custom waterblock that will work with the Kraken G12?

I have an Asus 1070 dual and there doesn't seem to be a waterblock that will fit it, so Im wondering if there is a CPU waterblock that would work in the G12? I would like to have a custom loop for my CPU and GPU but I'm kinda stumped on the GPU part. Like I'm thinking.

Ek slim 120 starter - mostly for the pump/res combo that mounts on a fan

Chinese waterblock - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/BYKSKI-NIVDIA-GTX1070-O8G-SI-GAMING-GTX1060-O6G-SI-Full-Cover-Graphics-Card-Water-Cooling-Block/32818054240.html (but I don't know the quality and I don't want to wait 30 days to get it.

 

Can I just rig a CPU block to a G12 in the loop?

 

don't want to use an AIO cause Im still waiting on an RMA for my H100i premium se that came with a leak, gonna just return it and use the 200 towards a custom loop would rather be able to just fix the damn thing if it leaks.

Why do you always die right after I fix you?

No.

You can't use a G12 if you're gonna put a regular waterblock on it.

There already are universal waterblocks that will attach without the G12.

yeah, I decided to just bite the bullet and order the block from aliexpress, and order the other parts when it arrives.

Can anyone see if new corsair water block   Xc7 would work with g12. Its made with asetek style, but im not sure if the bracket size are the same or the plastic top interferes with screws.  (https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Custom-Cooling/Blocks/CPU-Blocks/Hydro-X-Series-XC7-RGB-CPU-Water-Block-%28115X-AM4%29/p/CX-9010004-WW)

Whole thing can be taken apart, so you can literally assemble it around the G12. I actually did something similar with a H80i V2, if someone can confirm whether it uses standard asetek and not a proprietary bracket that looks like asetek then it should work.

Most universal blocks don't take VRM cooling into consideration, you are expected to have a janky fan setup to accommodate it. Also a lot of these water cooling companies have moved away from universal solutions in order to sell people one time full cover blocks, finding out whether an old block is compatible with newer gen like Turing or Navi can be difficult.

A fan on the vrm is more than enough. Doesn't need to be jank unless you do it that way.

The G12 has a "janky fan" already strapped too it for VRM cooling. Thanks for the necro too
