Has anyone come across a waterblock that has LED's in it like the stock cooler that could be controlled the same way?

Most waterblocks allow you to solder in your own LEDs, though controllability I'm not so sure about other than the simple on/off functionality. You could look towards someone like Swiftech for their Komodo line of blocks that has built-in LEDs but again, doesn't do much beyond that simple functionality. As for lighting similar to that found on the ASUS Matrix series of cards, I haven't come across any with respect to the full-cover waterblock form factor. You can always go custom if you have the resources to do so.

I'm afraid to get rid of the stock cooler on this because of the amazing aesthetics of it. Custom machining isn't quite in my reach, so I guess I will need to wait and see...

I believe Raystorm might be what you are looking for. Last time I remember they had GPU blocks.

Look at that, they are the most expensive waterblock too xD

 

I guess the LED's just plug in to a molex like the raystorm's LED's?

I'm guessing so. I'd advise to get maybe a controller for it so you can have a cool light show while it's on :D

I could like program a Raspberry Pi to do that :D Thanks for that great idea!
