What jet plate should I use?

[saint19]

Hi guys.

I recieved my water block two days ago, after wait ten days for it.

Now, I have a question. What jet plate should I use with the water block?

The water block is a EK Supreme HF Full nickle, comes with 5 different jet plates and I'm not sure what should I use.

I also add two Bitspower 1/2" ID x 3/4" OD as compression fittings, the rest of the components are custom components.

The LCS will be used in my current rig (sig rig).

Thanks in advice

the one that comes installed is the best, but if you want less restriction/more flow, you can try the others, but it wont make a big diff really.

If it's older packaging, then it's possible that different jetplate then p#1 was as default. In general - it's worth to put in EK HF most restrictive plate p#1, as even with it block is less resistive then few other top blocks and with that plate it shows best temps.
After a while after it's release EK waterblocks changed default jetplate to that p#1 one. But as it's hard to be 100% sure if your's is from new shipment or not, it's worth to check which plate is in (eg. by looking which is missing from the rest). Plate $1 should be most resistive one, with two stripes.

The one which comes pre installed is actually the best plate, EDDY from ek actually changed the plate , i think its plate #2 used as default now ?

I check that jet plate isn't in the package and the installed plate is #1.
