Blocks flow pattern

Go to solution Solved by airdeano,

pretty bad, the block is designed for the in/out ports. backwards flow used to be a non-issue, but now with jet plates and die placement, it is kinda big deal.

and for a monoblock, prolly is not an exception.

Hi all, I am considering buying my first monoblock from EK, (I'm used to regular CPU block) and I was wondering how bad would it be if I'd run the flow backward in it? it's the only way the loop would look good... My current CPU block is upside-down right now to keep the flow the way it was intended to be (plus the system is an inverted layout so it was looking good).

I guess I have to redesign my loop... Thanks for the info!
