I was aiming to refresh my PC for style, so I explored a completely water-cooled motherboard (Asrock x570 AQUA). With an AM4 setup and plans to upgrade later to Zen3, I searched for alternatives with full water cooling in black and gold. I didn’t find other options besides the Asrock model. Could it be that such a build is too specialized or costly to produce, making it hard to find similar products? Perhaps manufacturers prefer sticking to single-block designs since they see no demand for this kind of thing anymore? I’m wondering if I’m overlooking another brand that offers something comparable. I assume Gigabyte and maybe a few others make them, but only for Intel chips. Should I consider switching architectures?

You might also browse websites offering water cooling solutions such as EK to find monoblocks. They list four options, which broadens your selection to four additional models

Absolutely, I noticed several monoblocks, but the complete coverage on the motherboard is exactly what I need. As mentioned earlier, it's mainly about the visual appeal.

I noticed AMD non-HEDT sockets are receiving less attention compared to Intel models. However, I believe this situation may shift as AMD moves forward.

Essentially, most people I know prefer not to use water cooling. It offers little benefit while bringing several drawbacks. It often feels outdated, costs more overall, and can look quite unprofessional.
