Is my GPU block back to front with regards to flow direction?

Its a 6800xt standard. I've checked the pdf manual but not mention of direction. There is a jet plate. I think I saw a bubble go the opposite way to what I expected.

Also I'm going out the pump and through the two radiators, then cpu, then gpu, through flow meter and to reservoir.

From those pictures it looks like the flow direction is fine. If it's a newly filled loop just crank the pump, tilt it around and wait for all the bubbles to settle out.

GPU blocks usually have the inlet on the left and the outlet on the right so if you have the flow coming from the pump/res then yes it's the wrong way around. If it's coming from the cpu it's the right way around. To be honest it only makes a couple of degrees difference on a gpu. The cpu block inlet/outlet are the most important ones to get the right way around.

Yes its coming from the cpu so its the right way! I had to partially empty the loop since the flow meter should be facing up according to the manual.
