P5K deluxe heatpipe have wicks?

bwanaaa · 07-09-07, 03:03 PM

is the heatpipe solution on this asus mobo affected by mobo orientation (like in a Lian Li v1200)? I know that wicked heatpipes (heatpipes with wicks, not heatpipes that are evil) can function inverted but i do not know if this mobo's pipes have wicks?

i am not intirely sure... but im almost positive my Asus P5W dh doesnt have wicks, cus the NB hs would barly get warm with the board laying flat on the ground, but inverted it in my lian li v2000b it would get really hot (140*F) so i had to stick a lil 40mm fan on the main NB hs and all was good.
