Effect of vertical v-card installation on vapour chamber cards

[kypron77]

I've been looking at both the Silverstone Fortress fto2 and Raven 3, and both of them have the motherboard rotated so that all pci-e cards in a vertical position. I have an EVGA GTX 580, and it utilizes the vapour chamber tech.

Anyone have any info on whether a vertical vs horizontal position will affect the cooling?

I've used mine in a Raven RV01 since I've owned it, and I haven't experienced an temp issues.

Heatpipe and vapor chamber operation is based on temperature & pressure. Orientation does not have an impact.

and wick effect to mitigate orientation issues.

Thanks, I'm going to probably pick up a Raven 3 soon then. Wish it didn't have that side window, though.....
