No.

Just finished installing Alphacool Eisblock RTX 4070 TI TUF Gaming waterblock on this Asus dual 4070 (same pcb as the 4070ti). I got it on sale for 120 bucks from Mod My Mods. Good quality dropped Idle temps to 25-28c.

Shopping for a new GPU waterblocks and noticed they changed the inlet and outlet ports on most of the RTX waterblocks. Would It make much of a difference what port to use for the inlet?

Budget (including currency): Country: Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Found a good deal on a Z690 mobo and monoblock (did the research on monoblock and does work with that mobo) paired with i5 13600k, 990 m.2 nvme and reuse my DDR4 memory.

I've noticed doing a custom loop is way more tricky if you have a vertical GPU and not running a distro plate. Someone needs to make a waterblock with ports on both sides I know EK makes one with the ports on the end but It's only for the FE.

wait a couple of weeks until the 3070 drops.

It's a EnLabs PRPWMHUB5 pwm fan hub and this pic is a little confusing.

never used a hub before and no instructions with it, so does the power cable need a fan header and another running to the CPU header?

Using a EK Velocity D RGB with aura sync and one of the diodes keeps turning bright white. It corrects when I change the color or startup for the first time. Is this light strip failing or is this normal I know addressable rgb kind of have a mind of their own.

would like to do a parallel loop but not sure about the cooling.

Any ideas for my loop order? Using pre bent chromed brass tubing on this build so I can't do anything too complex.

Thanks for the reply, the instructions i got says not too but i've seen a couple of youtube videos where others did so wasn't sure if was recomended.

installing my first gpu waterblock on a gtx 1070 not sure if the vrm's should get a thermal pad, instructions are kinda vague. I don't know if they will even make contact with waterblock.

The inlet and outlet is going in a straight line.
