Just got this unpacked and I noticed in the right chamber that the "waterflow path" isnt alligned with the threaded "hole" like on the left chamber. I've tried googling for images of the R4BE block but not any of them have pictures facing from the front, making me unable to see down the hole.

I think that's OK....you can see on this clear block the channel ends oriented more to the right side...

I got hold of the vendor that ensured me that this is the way its supposed to look and nothing is wrong with the block.

I still think it looks odd but I guess im just beeing paranoid 😉

Cheers Arne 🙂

Thanks!

Its the first loop and is built mainly for asthetics, I know adding RAM-blocks and full board blocks wont make a huge diffrence for me but I want it done properly. All my blocks are EK and all my fittings are Bitspower since they are the ones rating higest. Them Bitspower fittings sure dont come cheap either 🙂

Well you get what you pay for and when it comes to filling your PC with water I'd rather spend a bit extra. Yeah RAM blocks and board blocks are not strictly needed cooling wise but look nice and that's important too. VRM block a very good idea...

What have you got pumping at the heart of that loop?

Perfect...great pumps...I put the EK X top on my pair for the improved flow...they are silent and give great flow....
