Inverting cpu block

[mickeej]

Hi everyone.

Strange question is it ok to invert a cpu water block as long as you keep the flow in the right direction? i am thinking of inverting my Barrow  am4 Icicle block so the out port is at the bottom instead of the top, to get cleaner tube runs. I designed and built my own marvel themed case including engraving by hand wolverine, hawkeye, deadpool and nick nick fury into the plexi front side panel, and venom into a lighting display on the back wall. only problem i have is the tubing looks a mess as you can see in the attached video. would love to be able to get cleaner runs so i thought id check.

I think that if the water flow is still good and it has no leaks/gaps it  would only affect the performance by a few degrees but you shouldn't listen to me and look online because I don't own a water block.

Makes no difference in performance. If it pleases you, go for it.

None of that would matter, they just make the logo/writing one way so people think its the norm. Just keep the flow orientation for best performance.
