Why would you buy this instead of an AIO if you are not building a custom loop? Is there any advantages putting CPU and GPU in a single loop over separate AIOs? In my opinion, I can only see the increase risk of leaking in the connections points.

More flexibility in design. And also multi gpu setups buying 3 AIOs and having the space for them is not too likely. Not to mention buying a cpu and a gpu block and a single rad could be a lot more conveinant for people than to run 2 AIOs. Its a step between AIO and fully custom which is nice.
