Heatpipe performance once in case?

[snowdog]

Hello,
I have a freezer 7 atm standing vertically, and coolign is great, but wont performance be more than halfed once it will stand horizontally in my case?
I mean the liquids in the heatpipes are affected by gravity right? wont putting my system in a case mess up temps??
EDIT: Im talking about the Freezer 7 pro's heatpipes, not the ones from my asus p5n32 sli-del EDIT 2: nvm sry im tired, didnt see i said ac7 b4

Atm its like this:

it'll be fine - the pipes are pressurised.

I'm pretty sure manufacturers place wicks inside the heatpipes just so they work correctly when tilted. That heatsink is designed to be used in an ATX case and as such it will work just fine when on its side.

no the gravity will not effect the heatpipes as much as you think. more on the lines of 1 maby 2c worse. reason is that they use sinthered powdered wicks to suck the liquid back down to the base.
