 | in your opinion - HD's do need some cooling , although the above stack is possibly a little OTT , it shows what can be done  dorky are they mounted with a gap between each drive ? |

Why water cool a har drive, when a fan will do the same just as well? can you overclock a HD? |

| its about respecting what other people have done , even if in your view it is not nessesary. I personally think that watercooling is a bit OTT , but if that the way people choose to go , then fair play. dont rubbish things just because you dont like them. I've warned you before. I won't warn you again. respect other peoples views or dont post. its your choice. |

This means I can wrap the drives in sound-proof insulation to help reduce noise levels even further. only thing I need to do is allow air to reach each hard drive's breather port, apart from that, I can completely enclose the hard drives for very low noise levels and prevent the drives from overheating. I wrote up a complete step-by-step on "how to" do it here: http://www.datamine.tk/forum/forum_p...p?TID=422&PN=1 At first I thought it was a little crazy to do it too, but the results have been very good. I cannot see myself going back to air cooling hard drives again... |
