Watercooling Question H220-X2

[Enderstream]

Hi Guys!
So i Just got my Swiftech H220-X2 Back from RMA. while it was being replaced i purchased a new Swiftech H220-X2 And was wondering with my spare H220, Is it possible to cut the CPU Cooler block off the new H220 loop and attach the H220 Loop to a full cover GPU Block?

To make more sense, I would have one H220-X2 just for the CPU, And my other H220 used to watercool my GPU!

I have a GTX 1070 Founders and would enjoy watercooling it but dont want to spend more money on another Res, Pump ETC

yes though wouldnt need to cut it off the tubes will come off without cutting them

Yes, you can
Before you going to spend 100-150 on full cover block, there is a mid option.
you can remove the shroud of the card, remove the heatsink and than fit the CPU block on GPU. It should fit fine in the opening of the aluminum plate.
What you will achieve is a type of "hybrid" cooling. The memory and VRM will be cooled by air and the GPU will be liquid cooled.
The tricky part is to fixate the block.
I used such solution on on GTX 570 for some time.
Here is an idea of how it will function: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukCl9QuYI54
while he uses "GPU" kit, it's fairly simple to do it with H220.
Anyway, you want to remove the CPU block and use the full cover block, you don't have to "cut". Swiftech is using compression fittings, so you can just disconnect. Do that when the kit is outside of the computer as you will spill some water. In addition, you will need a bit of distilled water to refill the kit after changing to GPU block.
