Hard Drive Water Cooling

[XyBeRz]

I was just checking out the Koolance Dual Hard Drive Cooler HD-55-L06 unit and was wondering if there was anything out there that provides better cooling than this unit? I want to watercool almost everything and anything that can be water cooled in my system.

Thanks for any help :?:

Water cooling HD's is just for fun IMHO..

The actual chip that would benifit from cooling is burried pretty far into the middle of the drives.. keeping the area around them cool is about the best you can do, fans will suffice.

Its not like we are going to be tighting the timings on the cache or something HAHA :P

Just about everyone and their brother has HD water blocks these days. It all depends on how much or how little you want to spend and the size tubing you plan on running as to which one is better.......... :wink:

But IMHO, HD water blocks are a waste of money and add to much restriction to the loop for what you get out of them.

I'm not adding it because everyone else is adding it. I want the most silent system as possible. Right now I have a HD fan on and I can still hear it. So my goal is to pretty much seal the case up as much as possible so there is virtually no noise.
It's just my preference. It won't kill me though if there is a slight noise coming from my case. :mrgreen:

get a seioisly quiet fan (22dba say) and do a 7V mod to it and you'll never hear it..

if your going to seal everything up... watch out for the temps on your mofisets..

If I seal up the case though, it won't be of any real benefit having the fan blow around warm air right? Then again, I could design something like the air conditioned case, actually it was just a pelt cooling down the incoming air.
