Are there any prebuild liquid cooling system (like corsair h50/70 for CPU) for video card or do you have to go custom from scratch.

i do know powercooler is coming with pre assambled bracket ready for LC, but you still need pump, radiator tube and stuff like those.

i plan on having prebuild full LC for video card (i'm sure if there are one or two it'll be hard to find for someone like me) so i ask around.

also does anyone have and experience with glass/metal tubing for liquid cooling i know it's kind of way out but just wondering if there were any down sides and up sides at the same time for using those instead.

Thanks

Cooler Master used to offer the Aquagate Viva for VGA liquid cooling, and Thermaltake had it's TMG series add-on blocks for it's BigWater systems, but nobody makes anything recently AFAIK.
 
The problem is the different vram layouts on the different cards. They are not as universal as cpu blocks. So no. However, there are cards sold with the water block factory attached, but as you say you still need the pump, tubing, res, rad, fittings....

Tubing would be a huge pain in the ass with glass or metal. I would stay away from metal because of corrosion issues. You probably could do it though if you had the time and patience of a solitary confinement inmate. ;)
 
No, as the block layout is different for each video card. They couldn't possibly include a block for each type of video card out there, as there's loads.
 
No real advantage to copper or glass tubes. Would take alot more work, also considering you want to avoid assembling your own setup this seems even less plausible. WC tubing is easy to install, just get some tygon it works great.
