Best orientation Waterblock CPU

[tistou77]

Hello

With a waterblock Ek Supremacy and 4930K, which is the best orientation?
I saw that it was with the IN/OUT at the top and bottom of the topics on this forum (A left and right, it is less efficient), but I have not had confirmation.

Thanks so much for your help

I'm using a RayStorm HP CPU block, I tried vertical and horizontal... this gave best performance.

Yes for supremacy ports stacked on top and bottom is best (90 degree rotation from what you would expect). This is data on the 3930K but should be same result for 4930K:

Thanks for your response.

The best orientation is at 90 ? (unlike the picture of techjesse, so)
I'll test

Thank so much

Yeah it's really the orientation of the inner fin structure rather the ports and not every design as the ports the same orientation compared to the fin structure which is why some are better than others when rotated. E.G. Bitspower and Phobya blocks get worse. Some are more sensitive than others to rotation also.

To make sure I understand, I must put the Supremacy, as



I'll test

Thank you for your help

PS: the IN can be up or down, does not matter?
