EKWB Velocity2 CPU Block for AM5 - Practical Review and Test results

[@GearsScrewlose]

Thanks for the video - I liked the honesty.

Great bit of info. Good to see you putting out more videos again.

Blood count matters! LOL

Daz happy new year and again welcome back... I don't remember in you latest videos mentioning what CPU are you using!?! from your notes I assumed could be a 7950x or 7900x... for a even better rappresentation of block temps results I would fix a fclk speed and voltage as well.. especially on amd... for example use 2000 fclk and 1.20 fixed vsoc, it will work 100% stable... IOD on amd cpu heats a lot.. and all motherboards push many secondary voltages super random... an example , if that motherboard decided to use 1.30 vsoc for your whatever ram kit expo profile, block temperature will differ quite some from a 1.20 vsoc you manually type in... hope I been clear, wish you super health this year so we can see many videos ! 😁

Right, I meant to put bench HW into the description.

I like the look of not seeing the mounting screws but if they are on the top of the block I do not need to unplug everything and remove my entire motherboard to re-adjust it. It's better to feel good than look good in this case.

Mh, I prefer TechN AM4/AM5 waterblock. I have it on my 5950x abd it is also because of it I have fantastic resoults. Ek is becoming overrated. However, always a pleasant review and a nice job from you. Until next time! Thank you!

The EK block on my 5950x is very good. It has captive thumb screws that don't need anything extra than the board backplate.

Geez, I'd hate to strip the head off one of those studs midway through screwing it into my motherboard. The install looks very unforgiving.

Despite multiple remounts, I did not manage to damage the posts, but it certainly was on my mind every time. I found removal twice as hard vs putting it on.
