I have a build where I'm rerouting the CPU inlet/outlet from the distro plate. I know it's not correct because I'm getting really hot temps. According to the manual, my CPU block has a specific inlet port which I got wrong and is causing the issue.

I provided all details to chatgpt and it gave me this.... does this sense to anyone?

ChatGPT's illustration after giving it the parameters of the problem

I can't make heads or tails. To me, it looks like 2 different places to connect the cpu at. (both ports on either left or right sides)

The manual however shows something completely different. It shows the left two ports, as the ones to use to connect to the CPU.

However, I'm hesitant about that because its really far away from the rad? According to the design, after water comes out of the rad, it would then go to the GPU first, then CPU. Right? Is this normal? I thought CPU first?

EK's manual for this block specifically

For anyone willing to help, I'm specifically looking for the water "inlet port" for the CPU.
