Is it possible to use a Kraken G10 without an all in one cooler?

If you have a custom loop, it's better to get an actual GPU waterblock for the GPU, this will keep the VRM much cooler.

I am well aware of the VRM issues with the Kraken G10, and I am willing to solve those issues if I could get a waterblock compatible with it.

What GPU do you have? I don't think custom waterblocks fit the G10, at least they're not supported: https://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/138-kraken-g10-gpu-...

You can do it but you would have to modify the round hole in the kraken g10 to except whatever universal waterblock you put on the card. Frozencpu does sell universal waterblocks for gpus but like Eduello said you need something mounted on the VRM to help cool those. I don't think just the air from the fan on the G10 will do the trick.

If you like your videocard I would say get a full cover block and be happy knowing everything is going to work.
