Water cooling solution for 1070, what are my options?

I'm looking for options for water cooling my EVGA 1070 (08G-P4-6173-KR).  It's worked fine for two years now but maybe a water cooler would be nice.

I'm looking for something mostly plug'n'play, like a nice aio.  Not into doing a custom setup at all.

 

I already have an AIO for my cpu and would love something similar for my GPU, but at a reasonable price like my corsair h100i.

 

I found this and it says it would work for the card i have but come on!   $330!!!(with single fan rad and water)

Does anyone know of something else that is cheaper?  Or am I crazy to think there is something else for half that price? $200 at least?

NZXT has the G12 which lets you mount an AIO to a graphics card, but check to make sure it's compatible beforehand.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As already mentioned, NZXT G12 bracket if compatible with the card.  Do take note though, an AIO cools the core only.  The rest of the card will still require heatsinks and a fan to keep cooled off.

Just an FYI, you probably won't notice better performance. Doing something like this would be mostly for the experience

@BobVonBobI saw the core only brackets but rather have something that will do all the components.  @SwagMaestroAlso, It would be for longevity mostly.  

Your other component will stay cool enough with the G12. Other than that your only options are a custom loop or that semi-custom from EK.

a quick google search says that GPU uses the Founders PCB layout meaning anything that fits a Founders 1070 should fit that card, which opens up options like the A240G kit for a full custom loop or the EVGA Hybrid Conversion (if you can find one), both these options at this point will probably run more then a G12 and a AIO, but they sure look nicer.

The evga hybrid cooler would be the best option for ease and price. But hard to get. 

 

If over 100mhz isnt gonna impove the performance than I guess it isn’t worth it.
