So I have managed to get my hands on a Lian Li PC Y6 (Black)  and I am looking to build an awesome Mini-ITX system.
The problem is, available space in the case is very limited, so if I want to even put a decent graphics card (ideally GTX 1080) and CPU (ideally Sky Lake S in Q4) cooling is going to be a proper b***h.
THAT WAS until I saw this Dual CPU & GPU closed loop liquid cooling setup at my local pc gear store.

My question is, why hasnt this been done before? and will companies like Corsair and the likes adopt the concept or has there been some decent research into it which has shown it really isnt all that advantageous.

...Yes I understand there won't be room for the dual rad in my setup, however, if the flood gates to open and the market does see more of these dual closed loops, I am sure there will be something compatible. 

Let me know your thoughts!!

Quick warning from my experiences with the NZXT Kraken:

If you want any type of voltage overclock in the GPU(s) you MUST buy a seperate heatsink for your VRMs, most stock GPU heat syncs have a contact pad for these modules as they create a lot of heat under load, blowing air onto the bare chip on the PCB just isnt enough if you are running them at high load.

 

Little copper chip heatsyncs can be purchased for <US$1 each so it isnt really an issue just something you need to know yourself before installing a hybrid AIO cooler to a GPU.

Id be a little skeptical about running a gpu and cpu on a single 240mm aio (especially overclocked)
