You'll need a new top plate. If you had a S1366 top plate, you could drill holes insidethe S1366 holes, but S775 is too small, so I think you'll need a whole new top-plate.

Then if I recall correctly, you'll need a new base plate as well. And I have no idea if the spacers that Swiftech use to limit board stress are the right height for S1156, so you may need to forego those as well.

I was once in County Cork and I asked an old man at the side of the road how to get to Wicklow. He looked me straight in the eye and said, "Well, you picked a poor place to start if that's where you want to go". I think that just about sums it up. You'll need to do everything the hard way to convert an Apogee to S1156, and then there is the whole issue of whether or not it will be ideal for a hot-running quad-core. They are very good blocks though so it'll probably work fine.

The rest of your Apex kit is perfect though, so if you're looking for the lowest possible cost route the EK Supreme LT is probably the nearest you'll get to instant gratification under £30.

You could always try and get a Supreme used from MM and buy a Universal top-plate if it doesn't already have one fitted.

Just about to order the EK-Supreme LT i7 - Acetal (775/1156/1366)

What Barb size do I need so I can transfer my current Apex Kit including tubing.Or can I just use the barbs from my Apogee block?

For the life of me I can't remember what size it is...:o
