External radiator specifically meant for PC watercooling: https://shop.watercool.de/MO-RA3-360-LT-black_1

Run it with a Riser cable vertically?

This is one that I got a while ago. It takes up 2 PCI slots but it doesn't have rubber grommets to protect against rubbing. https://www.performance-pcs.com/water-cooling/fittings-connectors/bitspower-dual-pci-pass-through-bracket-white-bp-dualpci-wh.html

EK blocks are directional, are you sure you are using the inlet port? Also, I've not used a Distro plate before, but looking on EK's site, it looks like the ports are also directional (not necessarily need to go a certain way, but should be used for optimal flow). Could you possibly tell how your loop is configured? Comparing to the manual, it could be flow might not be going to the rad but that's from what I can see.

Have you checked if your BIOS is set to use pcie or onboard gpu?

Dont forget to add Battle Royale mode.

I believe on the team Xeutor site its RRP: $34.99 for the Pro, and $24.99 for the SX. Most of their linked sellers are ~$40 usd.

I would say different factors would matter. Resolution and Refresh rate of your monitor? Games you play?
