wormy Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 I know they work great in there position with the case standing in its normal position but would it make a difference in temps is you lay your case on its side? I'm asking because I'm thinking of doing my next build in a horizontal style case instead of a vertical one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Nate Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 How well heat pipes work with reference to orientation really depends on the internal workings of the heat pipe. Here's a review for a Noctua with numbers for each orientation: http://legitreviews.com/article/741/1/ I wouldn't worry about orientation too much (except perhaps upside down...with a heat pipe that doesn't have a wick material) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiver_8 Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Just install it properly. Heatpipes shouldn't be pointed in a way that the substance inside can be trapped away from the cpu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
