    Most graphics cards have massive air coolers that block other PCIe slots. I want more water cooled options since they are low profile. I just don’t want to have to void the warranty on a brand new card to install a water block.

      I know for sure that installing a water block does not void the warranty on reference Nvidia cards. I’ve read that Asus (and evga rip) are the same. Not sure about MSI, and have read that Gigabyte will try to void warranty.

        It’s illegal most places. (Magnuson Moss Warranty act in the US, but a bunch of other places have stronger warranty laws).
