    Can a closed loop liquid cooling system be installed on a single CPU?
    All of the closed loop liquid-cooling kits currently available in the market are designed be installed on a single CPU, without the possibility of any expansion, whereas custom setups could potentially cool all of the critical components in a system.

    Can a closed loop liquid cooling system be installed on a single CPU?
     
  1. Pre-built water cooling loop
    Essentially, a closed loop is a pre built water cooling loop that you don’t have to put together yourself, it comes pre made out of the box and is installed to a system by simply attaching the radiator/fans to the case and a CPU block usually via a specific bracket. These are sometimes known as an “all in one water cooler”.

    The other way to get a closed loop graphics card is to build it yourself with a classic CPU water cooler and an adaptor. The adaptor features a fan and a hole where the GPU lies. Your CPU cooler then fits in the hole and water cools your GPU.

    Can you use a closed-loop cooler for a GPU?
    Rather than full-on custom liquid cooling, you can use off-the-shelf, closed-loop liquid coolers for the job. For example, NZXT offers its G10 universal bracket adapter that you use with its closed loop, and Arctic offers an entire kit for cooling GPUs. Like NZXT, Corsair offers a bracket to fits its coolers.

    What is the difference between a water loop and a hybrid cooler?
    The water loop cools the GPU itself, while other components on the card are cooled by traditional air cooling. While hybrid coolers are more expensive than standard air coolers, compared to water blocks for open loop cooling, they are much cheaper, easier to install, and offer you the primary benefit of liquid cooling for the GPU itself.

    Is open loop cooling a good option?
    Maintenance of open loop cooling in a computer is also somewhat of a pain, and a little risky due to the risk of leaks or spillage. If you're a performance enthusiast or a professional user who needs the best performance, no matter the cost, this is the prime option to consider. Hybrid Coolers - The Best of Air and Water?

    What is a hybrid GPU cooler?
    Hybrid GPU coolers combine a closed loop, pre-filled water cooler and traditional air cooling to give you a blend of the advantages of both. You buy these coolers either pre-fitted to a card or as an aftermarket upgrade. There's a small radiator already attached, which you'll mount to a fan vent.
