Best option to watercool dual Gigabyte 280X?

so since i can't find a full cover block for my cards, what would be the best option, i'm looking at low profile RAM heatsinks and a universal block, or dual Kraken G10's, anyone have suggestions?

Like do you want an option for custom loops or a not custom loop or both?

both, but i'm doing custom for my CPU, so a single loop would be nice

to be honest, sell the G 280x cards and purchase reference cards for a better

experience if thinking about custom loop. all that universal block stuff is a false

sense of full-block coverage and they are not close. if budgeting is an issue,

the 2x G10 idea is a viable option, but if planning on upgrading to another card

system, the glue-on heatsinks needed to cool the VRM/VRM2 will discourage

others to buy, since the air coolers are not able to be used with the glue-on

heatsinks.
