You might want to look into Aquacomputer blocks if you want a temp display on the block itself. I personally would stay away from Barrow and Bykski which are knock off Bitspower brands, that also have their own QC issues, namely being some blocks being incompatible and the build quality overall. If you were a YT'r and they needed marketing space, then yeah you'd be given cherry picked stuff.

Fittings? Angled fittings?

Before you upgrade the cooling, you should address the two mismatched pairs of rams. Work with one brand and of the same model, not two brands of different build qualities.
