Yes, those temps seem high for a custom loop. Even a cheap waterblock should yield lower temps. Sounds like you maybe forgot to apply TIM to the CPU prior to installing waterblock. Too much TIM? Or not enough pressure applied to CPU block. Most EK CPU water block installations require mounting spring caps to be 'bottomed out', meaning all 4 caps evenly screwed down to last threads. Any EK CPU block I have installed was that way, including my present EK Velosity. Heatkiller water blocks require evenly tightening screws down to a given measurement, depending on what CPU platform.
Asus AI suite isnt all it is cracked up to be. I have an i9-10850 overclocked just fine in the BIOS. Fan speed also controlled by BIOS. I actually tried AI Suite with this build, but ditched it as it was causing more grief than it is worth to me.
To control your fans, buy a powered fan hub, connect your fans to it, and plug the hub's lead into to CPU fan header. You can then control fans from the BIOS. Being you have a custom loop, and if your mobo has temp sensor headers, plug Hub's lead into whatever fan header (usually Chass_1) can utilize the Temp Sensor. That way fan speed wont fluctuate as much. Having it bound to the CPU Temp can be very annoying.
I am not a fan of using the fan headers to power more than one fan. Using a fan hub doesnt rob your mobo of power. It only reports a signal to mobo as to the RPM of fans plugged into the Hub.
Hope that helps.

I think you might be right with the block pressure applied, I didn't really know how to install it as its the first EK block I have had, Before that I had an XSPC raystorm V3 block. I applied the compound I got with the EK block and applied about a pea sized blob to the middle and then put the block on. I didn't know the plastic washers go underneath the poles that screw into the backplate on the mobo side until after I had installed it. So eventually I will have to fix that. I updated to the latest bios which helped a little.

"just spread the **** properly"
Yes, spread an even thin layer/film across the entire surface of the IHS on CPU. An old credit/bank card works great. All you want to accomplish is to fill the microscopic voids in the two flat surfaces. If both surfaces were perfectly flat, no TIM would be required.

Hi AsusRules32,
May I have the bios version, the AI suite version and a screenshot of the error message?
How long did you play Assassins Creed Valhalla and got AI suite crash error message?
Have you restored bios settings to all default and it still occurred?
Thank you.

I try to stay below 80 which you shouldn't have a problem doing. A bit of advice, don't use any AI OC or auto Vcore. Goes way too high on anything 10 series and later! I run a 10980XE at 4.8GHz all 18 cores and stay in the 70s under heavy load but its an all core manual overclock and manual Vcore. Only time I hit 90 is the few short runs I did at 5.1 GHz all 18 cores. I just bumped up the multiplier on my first run and about crapped my drawers when I saw 1.414 Vcore at 4.7 GHz. VID table is just too high. Make sure the ASUS enhancement is turned off too. Download and install Hwinfo and see where your Vcore is going. If you leave it to any auto mode or AI OC its gonna get hot.
My first piece of advice though is get rid of AI Suite. You dont want it controlling your OC and if you use the MOBO fan headers for control that can be set up in the BIOS.
