Maybe some kind of connector for SLI/CF or just extending the the G1/4 fitting above the card like most full cover blocks do. It's really hard to route the tubing correctly without putting a lot of pressure on the PCB of the card.

it depends on the application, and user circumstances.

GPU WB always cool the GPU better (better TIM), and dump less heat in the loop (better for the CPU), but HS isn't as apt to cool memory (no biggy) but more important now, VRM's.

- So, for silent & mild overclock, the hybrid does the job better and more economically, particularly in case of frequent upgrades, since the 60 has been re-used in many different form factors for years..
- for high overclock/overvolt, the FC cools the VRM better (unless you were to blow a lot of air over the heatsink in a hybrid config, but I admit that this defeats the purpose of -quiet- Watercooling). Yet many ppl who are on a budget choose the hybrid, and get as high O/C's as FC blocks.

The biggest practical problem with hybrids in the past has been closely spaced PCI slots, preventing ppl to SLI.. but with wider spacing now thanks to double slot cards, its no longer an issue.

All in all, hybrids still have a good life ahead for those who can't afford to buy a new WB everytime they buy a new card.

So if there is demand (and it is I assure you quite substantial), we will continue to make them
