I'm looking to upgrade to water cooling because I'm having some heat issues with my GPU. I currently have a decent air cooler for my CPU and so far that has kept it cool enough to not warrant needing to upgrade. My GPU however spits fire whenever its under heavy load and the increase in ambient temperature due to summer around the corner isn't going to do me any favors. With that in mind I'm pretty set on doing something like the EKWB full cover water block as it has the best aesthetics (IMO) and would offer better performance over something like the NZXT Kraken G10 or similar (i could be wrong on that but makes sense to me after some of the information I've read)

So would i be able to get a Kracken X61 and add the GPU cooling?

there wont and you cant cant mix aluminum with copper brass or any other metal without issues comming up if you want to water cool your gpu buy a dcp pump and a 120/240 rad and make a custom loop for it then its much less risk then trying to do a AIO mod . plus the pumps on the AIO mostly suck unless there meant to be expanded like h220-x

wouldn't i be able to try to use the "propylene glycol & water" or whatever mix that comes with it? or even re-using the stock liquid once i put in the water block assuming there is enough?

An Kraken G10 and X61 will work for your GPU. However, you can not It wi9ll not work like that at all.

1. The tubing on the Kraken isnt removeable at all
2. The pump isnt strong enough to push through another block.
3. Most AIO units warranty voids when you remove the tubing.

I would do it the correct way. Water cool your whole PC and call it a day.
