Fortress Series FTZ01 Optimal Thermal Performance Layout D. For additional information on NT06-PRO dimensions, please visit our website. E. Theoretically, NT06-PRO’s heat pipes may not work optimally when installed facing downward. However, during FTZ01’s thermal testing phase, we did not detect any performance difference among different orientation when using a 95W LGA115X based CPU. If you are concerned about heat pipe orientation, FTZ01 can be placed vertically or horizontally to eliminate this potential problem.
