I saw somewhere, where people were doing a cpu/gpu cooling off the single 240x or even a 220x... Is that true? Obviously, you'd fittings and stuff, but would that be possible to run the GPU and CPU with good temps?

It would depend on the hardware but that would be very close to the bare minimum required which is 120mm rad space per component and ideally more for silent cooling. 

 

Also note the 240x or Swiftech expandable AIO cooler tends to suffer from QC issues as many individuals who have bought them have had issues out of the box or a short time down the road compared to other AIO solutions.

I've been noticing some issues in the reviews. I was just debating a swiftech, h100i gtx, or even a h80i gt...

If you really need to WC your GPU, use a custom bracket+AiO or invest in a watercooling kit

dont buy an "expandable" AiO

You can add another rad to the loop tho, if you're already getting a GPU waterblock and fittings...the pump is powerful enough.
