Hard Drive Cooler

[angel_of_death57]

Hi their,
I bought a hard drive cooler as some of you know one of those that screw ontothe hard drive but when i wascleaning pc i noticed that only 1 of the 2 fans the cooler runs. Does anyone know what this is. Think i should just take it back ot the shop i think i have receipt still.

If it's (relatively) new and you still have the receipt then just return the lil bastard.

Then PM Abu and see if his magic HDD cooler is up for sale.
It can singlehandedly reverse global warming.

Lol i will take it back, i gonna get a akasa i think they are called one of theirs. Thing is temp still around 20'c but is blowing onto the cirsuit part and not the black part so could effect sensor on the drive sayign temps. I will get it changed sometime this week or next.

The amount oftrouble with the pc eish.

I gonna build my own sometime soon.

If you think messing with a prebuilt PC is a lot of trouble, just wait till you build your own.

A whole new world of aggravation and agony awaits you....

Maybe so, i might just take all these bits and move them ot a better case and upgrade it alot. Nothing wrong with ym mobo its a good MSI one for Intel 3.2 Ghz and up so thats cool.

I don&#39;t agree, messing with a prebuilt computer is far worse. ;)

@angel_of_death, i always see those coolers on tigerdirect, and everytime i wonder how they stay attached to the drive...lol Now i know, thanks. :)

I have replaces it with a Asaka one now.

Just put a order in for it http://www.pcwcomponentcentre.co.uk/invt/akhdbl take a look.

yeh rossco they fit on standard 3.5Inc HDD and the under side where chips and all that are and screw into the spare holes. They are really good. I think my one i got not messed up ball bearings. Nevermind i prefer Asaka one. They do not cost much.

While you&#39;re at it, might as well buy an 80mm fan (low dbA high cfm one) and an 80mm to 60mm fan adaptor.

might be able to help ur temps a little, but probably not. Main thing is it is quieter. :)
