EK Supremacy EVO CSQ - 1150 Jet Plate Installation/Orientation

[shiftymcgoo]

Hi guys,

I noticed the jet plate for the 1150 that comes with this water block has two small notches on the width side. Pictured below in the bottom left.



The installation instructions mention you need to make sure the plate 'locks into place' but don't speak to the correct orientation of those notches. What I mean is, the notches could be reversed just by flipping the jet plate over.

So my question is: Is there a correct orientation for this jet plate or does it matter? [EDIT] unless the notches correspond to posts in the block which create the 'lock'... ?

Thanks.

Leave the jet plate alone. no real need to change.

The plate slot is orientated 90° to the water channels(ribs) in the block.

Really? I just assumed it was a standard thing to do. I know it's not required really but thought it was a good idea if you were comfortable with the doing it.

[EDIT] After looking at someone disassemble the block it looks like the notches are irrelevant as they don't come near the channels. If they are irrelevant I wonder why they're there at all? Maybe to help identify the plate when it's next to another one?
