Heatpipe coolers
Just bought a cpu cooler with heatpipes but when it's fitted to my tower
case the heatpipes will be sitting horizontally. Does anyone know if they will still operate horizontally or do they need to be at least angled up slightly so the liquid can flow back down to the base? |

In the above description, they refer to a "sintered" finish on the inside of the heatpipe. And that would help, when in an inverted situation. There are other similar descriptions, like this one: http://www.frostytech.com/articlevie...articleID=1509 Paul |
