Does it matter to have heatpipes running verticle?
My CPU socket is sideway, and my SI-97 ends up running verticle, either up or down. Does this adversely affect the performance of this?

im planning on similarly mounting a 7900gtx vertically. the lower heatpipes may not work well but the top ones should run better than normal. my guess is it evens out but this is yet to be seen. heatpipes should have a wicking material inside them that transfers water by capillary action. i dont know if this can completely defy gravity.
