Good or Bad: Abit IP35 PRO HEATPIPES MOUNTED UPSIDE DOWN

Because of volume containment, heat redistribution in a heat pipe works mostly on principle of thermal gradients. In other words, gravity should only have a small effect, if any. As long as there are no gaping holes in the heat pipe (which would lead to bigger problems anyway) the orientation of the MB should have little effect.

sounds like a very educated answer :sun: i'll take it!
 
i ended up with the ds3p with heatpipes because i heard the ip35 had issues with Raptor hdd's.

the ds3p rev 2.0 has heatpipes too and it is fine mounting them upside down. i would like to have a program that tells me my nb/fsb voltages and nb temps tho... i'm aware speedfan can monitor nb temps but dont know which label it is...
