going to be doing a loop on my system soon due to not enjoying the temps the unit runs at. looking at getting something that is pleasing to the eye and have looked to the apogee XL for my 4770k and Komodo-NV-LE for my Evga 780 because they are pleasing to look at. question is, does there happen to be any other blocks similar to these two in full card coverage that can carry a LED lighting on it?

Have you looked at the 380i for your CPU? I think it looks very good.

As for GPU blocks, you only really ever see the backplate if you think about it. You're going to want a full cover block as if you want to increase the voltage, the VRM's will get very hot without a full cover block. The EK waterblocks and backplates look very good IMHO.

welcome to the Linus Tech Tips forums!

what temps are you getting now and with what cooler installed?

my evga 780 when under a good load goes up into the 180F range. the 4770k is not as bad due to a h100i but if i do the video im just gonna do a full loop. think the temp problems are from the h440 and not having good air getting inside. but those blocks and res are along the lines of what im looking for.

your 780 is still in ok temps as its only low 80C. doing a custom loop will drop the temps to almost half of it. the H440 is a good watercooling case as it can hold enough rads for your build while keeping the fans on a slower speed

yea only thing i worry about is when newer games release and needs more and more from the card dont really want it getting much hotter personally. and the case should be very good for the cooling can to 2 360 rads if i needed too. but i dont think i will need anything that big.hopefully
