When I change my coolant in the summer I will be swapping the Bitspower Summit EF block out for an EF-X block, I got one today and tested to see if it would fit with the THOR EIX 99 Kit and it does, all I have to do is swap the mounting g bracket out for the special one in the EIX 99 Kit. The EF-X has better flow and might grant me a 1-2c better temp for my CPU.
I also plan on trying the Swifttech MCP35X2 Housing, which on paper might offer better flow rate. (Turns out the MXP35X2 had some pretty bad machining issues and would not accept EK Heatsinks, best just using the XTOP. Currently the 3.2 DDC PWM pumps run at 60% and offer me around 150 l/h, at 100% that goes up to 175 l/h. This flow rate has to do with the 6x QDC's, which is an extremely useful feature. I will also be installing the Coldzero Primo Plate. These will be some nice upgrades and I look forward to seeing how they preform.
EF-X Acrylic block fits 100%, EF and EF-X have the same dimensions mostly regarding height, G1/4 ports and use the same exact bracket.

(Update)
Here is a small addition I plan to add to the loop and thought it is pretty cool. I took an Aquacomputer kryoM.2 EVO and a kyroM.2 waterblock and basically merged them together. So I installed the kryoM.2 waterblock on the EVO PCB and get the benefit of a top heatsink along with the waterblock. Think of the heatsink like a back plate for it. This will be integrated into the loop when I change my coolant in the summer. It this block will also feature EK CPC QDC's. In the summer I will also be removing the 5x 90 degree fittings from my loop and installing the EF-X CPU block into my THOR EIX99 kit, so in theory this should improve my flow rate. Not to mention the EVO LED's will be cool to see.
As for plans with this system, the last upgrade is again installing the kryoM.2 Hybrid block, EF-X changing coolant, cleaning blocks, and changing the EK 240 PE on the front to an EK 240XE with just push. I will be able to do this yet again thanks to Coldzero.eu for making a custom requested dual Phanteks pump bracket which will allow me to install the same dual DDC setup I have but lower to the ground of the case allowing me to install a much thicker rad. The benefit of the 240XE on the front should be pretty helpful, because it will provide better flow rate over the PE and cooling power. Here is the link:

In a few months I will be making the next big update to my system, its going to be basically a small performance update. I will be adding the following parts and removing the following:
ADDING:
- Aquacomputer Hubby 7 Internal USB 2.0 Hub (now there will be 2x in the system)
- Aquacomputer Farbwerk USB RGB Controller
- Aquacomputer VISION KyroGraphics Black Sleeved (This will be installed on the kryoM.2!!!)
- 2x Bitspower 60mm 3-Pin Fans, Black Sleeved (BP-FAN60SHD-BK) (These will be installed under the EK DDC Heatsinks, since I will be removing 2x Vardars from the front)
- Bitspower X-Station Red, 4 Molex
- EK CPC QDC (adding this for the kryoM.2)
- Coldzero.eu X-Station mounting plate
- Coldzero.eu Dual Phanteks Mounting Plate
- Coldzero.eu Dual Hubby 7 and Farbwerk mounting plate
