"Building a custom liquid cooling solution requires time and money, things that not every enthusiast has. But the benefits of liquid cooling are accessible to many users thanks to the existence of AIO liquid coolers. As a matter of fact, they have gotten so popular over the years that nowadays one can find specialized units on the market for cooling graphics card as well. But perhaps the biggest drawback with closed loop liquid coolers is the lack of expandability. If the plan is to cool both the processor and the graphics, the user would need to buy two different AIO liquid coolers to accomplish this task. In the end, this results in spending more money and ultimately requiring more space inside the computer case to accommodate both units. 

The ideal situation would be to invest in a single AIO liquid cooler that gives the user the option for expansion. That’s where the new EKWB Predator 360 comes to mind. It’s a 360mm liquid cooling unit that is capable of cooling the processor and graphics card simultaneously. But the most innovative feature is the Quick Disconnect Connector (QDC) that is built into the hoses that allows users to expand their loop without having to drain the whole system."
