Hi @ll,
kurze Frage zur Ausrichtung des Core 1 Kühlers mit dem AM5 Performance Kit:
Soll der in der Ausrichtung gleich montiert werden wie ohne Performance Kit, also Out rechts unten?
Oder wie in der Anleitung des AM5 Performance Kit dargestellt um 90 Grad gedreht, also Out links unten?
Skullbringer montiert ihn bei igors Lab in der Original-Ausrichtung:

how would you recommend to install the Core 1 with AM5 Performance Kit:
Orientation the same as with the original mounting Kit, so Out on the lower right side?
Or as illustarted in the Performance Kit manual -90 degrees rotated, Out on the lower left side?
In the test of igors LAB they use the original orientation:

In der orignalen Ausrichtung mit dem Port rechts unten. Alternativ kannst du ihn auch um 180° drehen, das ändert dann nichts am internen Wasserfluss bzw. an der Ausrichtung der Jetplate und FInnen. Eine 90° Drehung ist nicht zu empfehlen, dann verlierst du definitiv an Leistung.

Vielen Dank!
Es kam mir auch seltsam vor, ist aber in der Anleitung vom Performance Kit definitiv so drinnen:

Ja, das hat das Grafikteam leider falsch abgebildet. Das war so eine typische Standard Ausrichtung aus grafischer Sicht die aber leider falsch bzw. nicht optimal ist. Sorry dafür.

because I don't see any new instruction booklet or any marking on the official page of the kit. What is the correct placement of the block and the kit?? because I followed the instructions from the kit manual and I have placed the block with the letters on the right vertically and the water outlet hole on the bottom left. as in the photo.

Am I correct in understanding that the ac logo should be where the red lines are?

With the Performance Kit, you can position it exactly as shown in the manual. However, in this case and with this kit, a 90° rotated installation would perform about 1–2°C better. In the end, we’re not talking about major differences here. It would be a different story if the cooler were mounted in the standard orientation.

 so is that right? When we say 90 degrees, do we mean to the left? meaning the AC logo should be on the top left? how can I achieve the best temperatures? what do you write about the photo in the manual for installing the block being a typographical error. i also wanted to ask is it worth going to apex 1 if i find this to sell?
