Dude the EK block doesnt create that crap - you have it floating round in your loop and its filtering it. Your choice is either to replace all the coolant and clean everything out or fit an inline filter for a couple of days.

Adding to the pump discussion, and Naekuh's idea:
Since you have the radbox, fans pumps in the other room, skip the 12/24v pumps and get iwakis MD (120/220v) pumps instead. I believe the MD30-RZ is cheaper than the ~ RD30
The MD is physically abit bigger and might vibrate abit more, but that shouldnt matter since its in another room.
The MD30-RZ have 8meters head pressure.
That might be overkill, so maybe MD20-RZ is plenty with 4.6M heead pressure. Just make shure its the RZ version, as they have more head than R or RX.
The MD20 is 40w and the MD30 is 70w (im looking at the 220v version)
So my suggestion is to go with the tank like Neakuh said, hooking both your computers up to it, and all the rads in the same loop connected to the tank with a iwaki MD30-RZ (the high flow of this pump might help mix the hot and cold water in the tank)
then use 2 MCP35X in the computer loop (you still have some extra feets of tubing to/from the tank and quite alot of blocks in your loop +the redundancy)
Edit: Throw a filter in the iwaki loop while your at it.

yes the eheim pumps and radiators were immediately removed from the loop and since then are in a separate loop that just feed the 5 gallon tank
oh it deflated even further than whats in the pic ^
right now its still just one iwaki rd30 in the system loop and no need for a second one
how loud is the 120v iwaki md30-rz ? louder/about the same as rd30 ?
well the ek block surely doesnt create that crap ^ but it surely traps it the design is stupendously flawed.. idk whos copying who/who came up with such amazing concept but there should be ample space between the jetplate and fins but there is none! just a perfect trap for anything flowing thru the loop.. oh forget it! it has been removed! i could care less!
-----
thermal pads mustve gotten soaked cause it took all this time several days for everything to dry up.. i thought it all got fried up but everything is good
heres how well the loop worx now after a run of heaven 2.5 benchmark @ high quality settings/overclocked/overvolted.. delta of just ~17 C good??
and heres shogun2 @ 20C cooler than before

well i would like to thank you all for all your suggestions you guys have guided me and put me on the right track thats for sure and the systems running like a champ now
much appreciated

unless you're expecting sub ambient temps, why use that crap in the loop?
glad it works for you : ) sounds like you might as well change to an older or cheaper block without a jetplane then.
You removed the plate and gasket completely?
How much does that affect temperatures?
It looks like you have the highest flow (4?) plate installed. The new blocks have the high performing (aka high restriction!) (1) with just two slits.
That's a lot of FOD in your coolant though. For a minute I thought I saw a leaf in there.
