MiniITX watercooled GPU's

Why do they not exist? I do see some people reasoning a 295x2 for smaller builds. Linus's video on NCIX got me thinking about this, which I think it would be a pretty good idea for there to be a miniITX version of the next AMD flagship GPU that is watercooled. It makes since, as there is not that much room to dissipate the heat out of the case.

 

Sidenote: They also could of used a Xeon, and saved $100 since they weren't going to overclock it.

I think it has a lot more to do with the fact that the vast majority of people who are making small mITX builds aren't using watercooling at all. Or if they are they are prioritizing their CPU.

VRMs bro

VRMs are not that difficult to cool.

That makes some sense, but I would personally rather have a watercooled GPU over CPU to keep overall temps down in a gaming rig.

no, but they take up a lot of space on the PCB
