Ok, this works: swapped cpu with old cpu and upgraded bios to F30. Swapped them back again and it works now. So, if you can't find an old usb stick or can't be bothered to buy one, you can do this as well if you have an older Ryzen processor 2000 or 3000 still. I don't think the first gen Zen is supported in 570 boards. Might be a handy tip.

Thanks for your response! After quite a search, I think I found the solution, it's on this aliexpress page and involves apparently physically reversing the internal propellor's direction. Need to make some changes to my config next week anyway, so I will do this in one go. Here's the link, in case others might want to change the flow direction of this particular flow meter.

Towards the bottom of the page, you will find 6 images showing you what to do. Greetings from Dublin, about to be virus-ridden.

The "W"-machine (W as in whatever)
Hm, the case is a decade-old Cooler Master HAF 932 which I had just sitting around and with too much time on my hands I decided to give it a revamp. The loop is my very first custom build water loop. So far it's running stable afaics with following temps:
CPU: 35 idle, 36-41 under average load, 46-48 under stress testing
GPU: 35 idle, 44 after 30 mins of Heaven running, of which 1 benchmark on high quality and 1 on ultra high quality
Water temps: idle: 26.6 with room temp of 24 and 31.3 after said 30 mins of Heaven benchmark testing
RAM - haven't checked yet, but I assume they're ok
 
Loop: RAM-CPU-GPU
Rads: 1x120 and 1x360 (all that case allows for) both XSPC ultra thin white TX120 and TX360
Pump: EK-XTOP Revo D5 pwm
CPU block: EK monoblock MSI X470 pro Carbon
Piping: petg (2nd choice, but since it's my first and acrylic is not the easiest girlfriend, I decided on petg for now)
Reservoir: home made, app. 1.8 liters capacity
Fittings: Barrow, about 3 dozen of them if not more
 
System specs:
MoBo: MSI X470 Gaming pro Carbon (used for over a decade Gigabyte, but switched to MSI last year - would never ever buy an Asus)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X @ 4.15 gHz (last time I bought an Intel was in 1998 - would never buy an Intel again - let's say I don't like monopolists)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (4x8) @3000 mHz
GPU: MSI Geforce GTX 1070 Seahawk EK X 8GB (not overclocked yet)
Storage: 3 nvme's (Samsung, Patriot and WD 205 GB, 480 GB and 512 GB); 2 SSD's (OCZ and HyperX both 250 GB); 2 HD's (Toshiba and Seagate Barracuda @ 3TB and @ 2TB);
SoundCard (yes - I have one; onboard audio is just not good enough for me) : Sound BlasterX AE-5 
PSU: Corsair RM 850i
Propellors: 4 ThermalTake Riing + 120, 1 Cooler Master 230 mm (from the original case) and 1 aerocool 200 mm blue propellor, of which I removed the led).
 
Also, I have customized cables, but you won't see them as it's paneled off - don't like too much visible cables in the case, hence I made the panels around the MoBo. Sarcastically enough, the only main cable you see is the one of the GPU power, which I forgot to order in that configuration - ordering it next week and will replace it with the light blue version once in.
Color scheme is Wriyon-blue (a hint lighter than baby blue: https://www.color-hex.com/color/bee1ff )/White with some accents of very dark Green, sky blue and electric blue. The leds are in the same RGB scheme as the Wriyon blue, they seem white, but there's a hint of blue in there. Hope you like it.
Made the front io panel myself - will do that again, but all the buttons, the usb3 plugs, the audio jacks the water temp reader and the general temps screen I built in myself.
 
NB: Wriyon is a little local project that I have running here to help stir the love for reading and writing in school kids. It may not be as flashy and super duper as the other builds, but I made it all by hand without any tools except a drill, a heat gun and a sanding machine (heck, I don't even have a shed or workbench) and I am proud of it

I've been itching to build a new machine for a while. I've started doing some video editing and wanted to do it with my PC, but my old i5 rig was woefully underpowered. After seeing all of the show build madness online, I decided to take a shot at doing one myself. I present.... The Purple Bit Eater; themed after my favorite football team.
 
P.S. This is my first ever water-cooled build, AIO or otherwise. Though, I've been building PCs for about 20 years.
