Hi. I watched a recent LTT video on a new air cooler technology and in the video he explains how current heat pipe air coolers work. From his explanation it made me wonder if orientation matters.

I don’t run my system in a case. I have an acrylic mounting board and then hang it upside down from the bottom of my desk. This means the cooler is upside down too. Does that matter? Most people using a tower case means the cooler has a horizontal orientation. Some use a desktop case like mATX or ITX with a vertical orientation.
So, does orientation matter? If my cooler is upside down, will it perform the same as one that’s right side up or on its side?
Thanks.
