How big is the performance impact on the mount direction of thease things?
Yeah, there is a reason to ask, IF the heatpipe does its thing, there should be a clear differncedependin on if the pipes are laying down, or standing up.
If there aint, then the heat pipes really aint doing there thing.
What i mean? Well, simple, if its a heatpipe it works by "boiling" (making vapor) of a liquid,
having it trevel somewhere cooler by the lifting force it creates on it self by being hot (like hot air, and steam, it gous up)
untill it hits a cold surface, or get cooled off enough to reform as liquid,
transfering the heat energi with it every step of the way.
What does this mean?
Well, frankly, everyone with one of these coolers, in a tower, proboly fooled themself,
and should (to make me happy) try and put there tover on the side (mobo down, so that the heat pipes get in action)
I havnent seen anyone asking this, and no review mentioning it, so now im asking if any of you have seen anything about it.
B!
