Hey there :),

I'm looking to water cool my 1070 and need some help.  

First, I'm planning to use a EK waterblock to cool the GPU but I don't want a separate reservoir that come in the kits. I want my gpu to be cooled like a regular CPU with AIO (Pump+Reservoir on the raidiator) is this possible?

Second, Is this process a thing I can easily mess up? I've seen video's and they make it look really easy but I don't know for sure if it really is that easy. 

and last, if it is possible to make a AIO style cooler for GPU. Where would I buy the parts?

Custom watercooling is a bit more tricky without a reservoir, but especially if your rad has multiple ports you theoretically should be able to top it up using one of those ports. It just makes bleeding your loop a lot harder since you have much less excess fluid to deal with when trying to get your loop completely saturated with fluid so the pump doesn't run dry.

If you want an aio cooler for your gpu, there are kits that do exactly that with a cpu aio cooler and a bracket to mount it to a gpu.

I don't know where I'd put the reservoir in my Nzxt s340
