I have a Silverstone Fortress case in which motherboard is in 90° rotation, so graphics card is in vertical position.
I wanted to buy a aftermarket cooler, because Twin Frozr III is too loud when playing games, but after researching information on the internet I found very conflicting opinions about effectiveness of aftermarket air coolers. The problem is - as the motherboard is in a 90° rotation, the heat pipes in the cooler have to work against gravity unless the heat source is located below other parts of the heat pipe.
For every person with a working aftermarket cooler in a vertical motherboard, there was another person saying that for him the same cooler is not working. As I can't figure out if any of the available coolers will do a good job, I hope some of you have enough experience or knowledge to help me out with finding the best solution.
Thanks.
