According to [0], "One water block for the CPU, one for the GPU....First you have to inform yourself that the water block for your favorite GPU exists, looking at the part numbers, then you buy the GPU, then, and only then, after double-checking the part number on the box and on the website of the water block vendor, you buy the water block."

Hmm, seems like a relatively rare mod? Too bad, because typically the GPU is way noisier and hotter. I wish someone would make an eGPU water heater enclosure that you can just put in the garage, lol.

  Go to https://www.metapcs.com/watercooled/ https://www.metapcs.com/watercooled/ and pick Intel or AMD. On the next page (core components) under "GPU Waterblock" click Edit, then switch to "Graphics Card Waterblock" from "Standard Aircooled". Then, configure the rest of the PC. Or, go here: https://www.metapcs.com/contact-us/ https://www.metapcs.com/contact-us/ and just talk to them about what you want and what is possible, etc. But I think this is basically what you want. I don't know of any prebuilts for your fanless with high end GPU (they could exist), but I do know that reputable firms do specialize in high-power low-noise PCs. So I think it can be done and is not too uncommon. Like this one, just for example.

    That's cool that those exist! And they're pretty. Expensive though (starts at $4000), and probably not self-upgradeable.

      It's self-upgradable if you're brave! But even a configuration like this won't eliminate fans. The water-cooler on the GPU block still runs through a radiator circuit that is fan-cooled and shared with the CPU. Replacing the 400-odd watts of heat that system dissipates under load is extremely difficult with a passive system. You'd have to end up undervolting the components for stability's sake, at which point selecting such a powerful system starts to make less sense.
