I am making a custom loop for my computer using a Vega Frontier Edition GPU. I am planning to use a 3rd party monoblock, so I am wondering if there is any advantage in getting the liquid cooled version? I don't think there should be aside from better binning and default clock speeds.

if you take into account the price of a regular card plus and aftermarket block vs a card that already has a block on it it comes pretty close on price, plus you get the full warranty if anything goes wrong from the manufacture with a preinstalled block. You might get a claim rejected by adding a 3rd party block to the card if that block leaks and kills the card.

i think they mean a liquid cooled one with one of those AIO type watercooling

not one with a gpu block from ek etc pre-installed on it

I was thinking there might be a reason to get the liquid cooled one instead of the air cooled one due to differences with the chip like with the R9 Fury. The Nano and Fury X had better binning and the Fury X had a higher stock clock.
But in this case both Vega Frontier cards have the same clock and binning.
I was going to put on an EK waterblock when they release in a couple weeks.
