CPU water block orientation?

[Shadowman]

I know the orientation  of a cpu water block does not make a huge difference in temps from what i have read it's about 1c to 3c but i still want  the best orientation.  The following is from a different forum  quote with picture.

The best orientation for water block is when the micro-channel is parallel to the core. Picture bellow better explains it:
 

 

 

 

 

From the above picture am i right in thinking if the die of the cpu is horizontal  (once in the motherboard cpu socket ) then the cpu water block micro channels need to be horizontal also? 

My i9 7900x cpu's die is horizontal once placed in the cpu socket not vertical like in the picture above.

I honestly go for the orientation that allows the logo or branding of the block to be upright... I dont think there is any difference in the actual orientation as it relates to the fins inside the block...

It honestly doesnt matter

It would only matter if the channels in the block were longer than they are wide.

Which is not true, because it's a square.

The heatspreader helps to spread as in it's name the heat from the die across the block and fin array so it doesn't make a huge difference but small variation in block design can sometimes make minor differences.
