I am looking at the aw8 to replace my ag8 but I am wondering if the northbridge cooling will work when the motherboard is upside down in a lain li v1000?
 
Good question. I think heatpipes are supposed to work in any orientation. Alternatively, you could get the AL8 instead since they have a regular N/B cooler.
 
I dont want the AL8 I wanted a 955x board anyway I email morry over at hardocp and he said it should work fine.
 
That's good to know. I have a brand new AW8 still in the box waiting impatiently for me to finish building a couple systems for friends (that's how I support my addiction and get rid of the old stuff after I upgrade). I would recommend upgrading the BIOS right off the bat.
