EK Supreme - Correct Orientation??

Hiya guys,
a friend just asked me if there was a correct orientation for the EK supreme (like when u have a quad plate in a Fuzion?) And i couldn't give him a straight answer (c sig, lol) so i thought i'd ask here, c'mon RRR u must know ;)
TIA
Regards
Lloyd

this is how i have it mounted

I've had mine mounted both ways and seen no difference in performance.

@ evil and RRR - are u getting EVEN temps accross ur chip ? Because my mate wasn't getting even temps accross the chip, i said u need to lapp the chip, that was my advice. But as i say i don't have experience with the EK.
Thankyou very much for your input so far

left its RRR orientation right is how it have it

left both dies share the heat spread, right head is divided down the middle

RRR - that's how i would have it, and suggested to my mate. As i looked into one i had (sitting around) and there seemed to be a channel/barrier running in between the EK and Supreme logos almost like it was a built in quad plate (sorry i'm not describing it very well) which would run along this line....

EDIT- Just seen evils post, so there is a kinda quadplate inbuilt?

Its hilarious that you guys can't agree.

Does the manufacturer even have any input in this?

If you know how the cores are oriented you should turn the block that the channel section covers direct area vver the cores.
See very raw image:

edit:

eddy's super uber raw drawing

So maybe mount one way for a dual core and another for quad? Thoughts anyone?

its worth a try, for a dual core really orientation wont matter

Dang, you mean I'm running it wrong!...lol

Seriously I've been running mine with the nozzle slots lining up with the cores or horizontal lake Naeku and R3. I'll have to try it the other way and see what I get...Actually, I'm not sure I can...it might conflict with my NB waterblock..

I'll have to make this run out in a fully logged setup, but I'm pretty sure I'm getting very noticeably better temps as shown on the left where the block is horizontal in the case parallel to the slot lever and the nozzle lines up with the cores...:shrug:

Which is the same way martin and RRR has shown.

And yeah ive tested it. You wont get even temps cuz of the way the EK was designed. It washes the water out on one side not the entire block like D-tek.

So you need the injectors intersecting the cores and not go in the middle of the cores.

Thank you for posting that pic, and restoring my sanity,

:up:

I have not run my CPU hard on water yet. Just ran a few test runs to make sure the MB was still OK after installing waterblocks... I know nthe CPU is oxidized, will be hitting it with 2500 grit sandpaper this week...

Mate, that looks awesome, i can't wait to rebuild rig 1 with those compression fittings (well 3/8" ones anyway)

OK, I just ran it like this picture is showing which is vertical on my DFI board, triangle in the lower right corner.

Anywhow, this is the WRONG WAY. I get a solid 7 degrees worse Highcore temps running it that way and about 4 degrees worse average temp.

Don't run it like this.

ROFL....

Martin didnt I tell you that when i mailed you my EK to test the first time?

:wasntme:

Also inlet right, outlet left shows some improvement as well vs inlet left outlet right.

:T

Someone can retest that if they want. I didnt have enough time to go in depth on that. I honestly thought it wouldnt make a difference, but i did record some difference.
