I can't comment on your experience without the details, but there are many things I would try before I tried the crab solution you refered to.
problem with gpus is that they are increbily non standard. Half the enigneering difficulty is designing somethign that can work on everything.

In order to bring cost down you could do build to order (ie set the cnc do a custom job based on hole sizes and die size) but that s quite complicated to make an automatic system.

GPu are also easier to cool as they are more accepting of a high temprature differential. However space constraints mean that its hard to get a good wc unit onto the card. If your for a two slot solution why not just use and air cooler which is just as acceptable.

Also some kind of jet impingment design is hard to do as there is a difficult mounting angle to place the incoming water and your going to have to use small tubing to keep things tidy and within size.
