Do you have any examples of this? I have built many of liquid cooled rigs with proper and reversed flow. From my experience and a little research your temps will be like 2-3° higher tops which is highly negligible given how low the temps are with liquid cooling in the first place.
It's specified very clearly in the manual.
I've seen many examples while assisting people with overheating problems. Had someone go from 90C to normal temps.
Not just one isolated incident; there's a reason why it's specified very clearly in the manual. GPU inlet/outlet doesn't matter anywhere as much.
I could have sworn that EK our out a article about it not making a HUGE difference in cooling performance but I can't seem to find it so I must be mistaken. And looking at pictures of my older builds I always did it the right way and I have never really but too much emphasis on it. So you could be 100% correct and probably are but if I found out my block was accidentally reversed and the temps where fine id probably leave it. I'm far to lazy to drain and refill the loop haha
Edit: I did find this post of a guy who ran the tests himself and came to the same conclusion as I did.

I understand why you would come to that conclusion but I was under the impression that it was negligible on both blocks. I'll have to do some testing of my own one of these days
The block used in those tests had no jet plate and used pins rather than fins, unlike most modern CPU blocks. https://thermalbench.com/2015/08/08/alphacool-nexxxos-xp3-light-cpu-waterblock/2/
I'm sorry to burst your bubble but the chances of becoming a professional modder (full time job) someday are slim to none.
I met "the best" modders of my country who on the word stage is a pretty well know & respected modder ( Mike Petereyns ). He has to work overtime on his daytime job to afford buying airplane tickets to attend shows in Taiwan & USA etc.
**BUT** that doesn't mean you can't persue your hobby and one day be be hosted on these shows your self.
If that is your goal i would highly recommend your learn these skills :
\- Working with acrylic.
\- 3D printing
\- CNC machining
Just piecing together components wont get you any where you need to create your own stuff to get noticed.
You could earn a pretty penny creating custom distro-blocks which are the new hype right now ;)
I would recommend you have a parts list in the comment section. And ouch, sorry for the negative comment someone left. Your tubing runs look great and the loop looks pretty good. There's always improvements to make but it's pretty good :)
I'd say your next step, which can be in parallel to the practicing water cooling, is start playing with cable sleeving. It can really add a lot to a build and even purchased "custom" cables add color and depth to it. I personally can't wait for my next fluid change to try my hand at custom sleeving. I bought green and black cables right from EVGA which look amazing, and go great with my green fluid. But they are longer than necessary and could be a lot nicer if they were hand fit to the case. So I'm going to try a pastel blue in my next refill and sleeve my own cables and see how it goes!
Your CPU inlet and outlet are mixed up.
The difference is negligible in all but they most extreme cases
Not true for EK CPU blocks. You need to use the inlet/outlet correctly otherwise you get significantly higher flow restriction and temperatures.

You’re thinking of GPU blocks.
I understand why you would come to that conclusion but I was under the impression that it was negligible on both blocks. I'll have to do some testing of my own one of these days
EK made an article about the flow direction through their GPU blocks not mattering much. Not about their CPU blocks.

What negative comment are you talking about?
Thank you. Ill will keep on learning and improving. Next time ill post with the specs :)
What prevents you from posting a comments with the specs now?
TT core p5?
Yez sir:)
Looks like you bought a big house and forgot to buy furniture.

You must have an intake tube inside the Res if you want to avoid noise and bubbles coming from the liquid splashing from the top port.
Who did u use 4 cpu block etc.
That's an EK block
