By all in one I meant sold already assembled. I did not mean a one piece unit. What I was asking was can you disconnect and reconnect the hoses if you try to swap out the block? How are they fastened to the block? Would he have to also buy new hoses and clamps? Would disconnecting things introduce air into the system that would block the flow? I have zero experience with water loops.
The hose is on the barbs with clamps Trents, he would have to drain the loop, change the block and refill the loop again. Its standard WC procedure.
Most AMD blocks are made with elongated tops to match the backplate mounting holes of the sockets. So yeah he is looking at a new block or waiting till he can afford a new one.
That setup looks precarious, but AMD blocks are actually fairly cheap think I paid about $50 for my EK supreme LTX amd edition.
