The heat pipe on the MB that cools the NB and SB are quite long....

When you put the MB into a lian li the The whole MB including the heat pipe is now upside down!

The liquid in the heat pipe cant reach the NB and SB anymore (gravity has pulled it down)... thus the NB and SN get really hot and cook. this = massive unstablilty!

I know this because if I lay the Lian Li on its side and the heat pipe is now horizontal the NB and SB are cooled quite effectively. I presume its due to the liquids in the heat pipe, now have access to the NB and SB

How do I fix this problem.... I want to stand my lian li up again and cool my NB and SB........

I cant use most of the after market chipset coolers because they get in the way of other components on the MB!

this hasnt been an ongoing problem with the asus heatpipe design.
only the lucky pick that case .
youll have to look for a different cooling solution.
