My sata hdd - 39-41 celcius, ide one 40-43 celcius

Don't believe what it tells you. Feel the temperature. You'll know if it needs cooling

Ya... this is PC Modification Guide....

Oh the other way around 'PC Modification Guide'.

So where is your guide? You havent instructed us to modify anything. :lol:

Some have suggested to keep you hard drive within 5 to 6c of your case temps, I think that can only be achieved on decoupled drives with a fan blowing on them.

Yeah feels damn hot :yes:

Firstly, I'd like to point out that there is no simple high limit for drive temperature; as it depends on the ambient temp and the case temp. Say, with 30�C ambient You will be hitting over 40�C for the drive. You can't get the drive easily below 40�C even with active cooling.

The situation changes dramatically, if the ambient is only 20�C. If You are hitting over 40�C then, it's because You have the drive decoupled (or enclosed), or there is no airflow across the drive. Especially decoupling can really affect temps, as the heat has no way to conduct to the case.

Also I think that CPUs are designed to work at high temperatures (like transistors in general), but for hard drives there is "optimum" operating temperature IMHO.

Having too low temperature can hurt the hard drive also

Read this article about heat and CPU life expectancy: http://www.overclockers.com/tips30/

Because there are mechanical parts. Shrinkage will cause lots of trouble!!! :yes:

Cant u post all these @ once. :lol:

Yeah I've experience with overcooling hdd's, they fail (with ice cubes, liquid cooling @ max)

Oh Galle karaya, your a real tube light i guess, you get ideas after long intervals, better modify your brain before your pc :lol:

put a fan with a bright led neon over your head :lol:

No.... I dont want.... it's my style.... Are u have any problem...

Only one guide on water cooling, then why do you call it PC mod guide, u cud hav started a thread named Useless water cooling guide for dummies by - Gall karaya :lol:
