Has anyone made a gpu water cooling block review?

Thought I'd ask, I searched awhile in the forums and didn't see anything..
I want to water cool my GTX680. But stuck on what block to get.
My card is the regular gtx680 i guess they call it refrence design?
anyways the 3 that caught my eye was the evga hydro coper i like the light up EVGA on the block.

The xspc 680 full cover block where you can insert blue leds into it. http://www.frozencpu.com/products/1...ference_Design_new_style.html?tl=c311s1631b49

And i also seen the arctic cooling accelero hybrid fluid dynamic vga cooler

What one would you guys think would perform better?

I'd go for Watercool or Aquacomputer.

You'd be hard pressed to find a significant difference between the blocks. I remember a GPU block roundup that was done on some older blocks and they all performed relatively similarly.

That said, I would go with either the EVGA or XSPC blocks myself. EVGA's block is made by Swiftech, a very reputable manufacturer. And the XSPC block can look very sharp, especially if you have a Raystorm from them to match.

To me, the other block is effectively the same as getting a universal block and ramsinks. Although it's a matter of personal preference and should perform similar to the other two, I like the look of full cover blocks and having the RAM and other components watercooled.
