I just built a mostly EK custom loop, except the radiator is a Nemesis 480GTX and I'm curious about my CPU temps.
Below is a video to get an idea of my setup. The setup as been running for over 48 hours since this video and the air has bled to the reservoir. I do not believe I have air pockets in the monoblock. My run is pump+res -- rad -- cpu -- gpu. I have PWM off and pump is running 100% at ~4700rpm according to MB header.
Everything seems fine except for the EK Asus C6H Monoblock. My Vega 64 (with the EK block) will not reach 50 but my CPU pulling half the wattage breaks 60 easy. I've tried searching online for people's results with this monoblock but I'm having trouble finding anything. My concern is under full load at a 4Ghz clock on an 1800X, I'm getting temps 60-65C. This isn't horrible, but it's way worse than the Corsair H100i v2 I was previously using at this same clock. I'd stay under 50C at all times.
In the same loop, my GPU is staying very cool at temperatures I'd expect the CPU to be at. The water 'out' temp in my system stays in the 30s. My monoblock is about +25-30C Delta T when the GPU is closer to 10, and it's after the CPU. This leads me to believe the problem is lack of pulling heat away from the CPU.
I tried the 2 rice grain method using Grizzly Kryonaut in middle of CPU as the EK instructions said (I normally thinly spread over whole CPU). I used same Kryonaut on the GPU but did a X across the whole die like its instructions stated.
I'm trying to figure out other people's results to determine if this is just a bad block design, which my search has turned up some other EK monoblock designs for threadripper were bad, or maybe I did a bad paste job. I don't want to drain and re-paste if it probably won't help.
