Koolance VID water blocks include redundant G1/4 threading on both sides. This

with Koolance VID-series
coolers which can be placed
opposite the desired nozzle
locations.

Thermal paste is only required on the main GPU. The
other areas will utilize the included heat transfer pads.

on the surrounding metal support frame.
