Those two little fans HAVE to be blowing directly onto whatever Maxtor is using as their temp reporter, thus skewing the readings.
If they were as efficient as your (defective) HDD monitor says I wouldn't hesitate for a second to use them on my HS. You could freeze that bad boy.
wat do u mean defective? i got it from the link u gave meQuote:

Listen... If the drive is below ambient then the more air you blow on it the warmer it will get.
Anyway this has become completely ridiculous now.
Hey abu, don't you get it yet? Your readings cannot be right so there is a defect.Quote:

6 pages of this and you still don't get it? :blink: :blink: :blink:
lol. i'm just trying to figure this out just like u guys are. i'm not braggin or anything. maybe maxtors run cooler than seagates?Quote:

I'm not tryng to figure this out, abu. I'm trying to tell you that there is a defect.
You just won't believe it.
maybe lamsey could shine some wisedom on this matter. yo lamsey, help us out here. i'm just as confused about this as clocker and vb, happy, but confused
I'm not confused and stop saying that I am. :angry:Quote:

This is not a competition between Seagate and Maxtor, abu.Quote:

You just aren't getting acurate readings. Something is wrong.
Of all people, abu, you should know better than questioning my knowledge.
Are you saying that Lamsey has more knowledge than me about this, abu?
BTW, the Laws of Physics are the same in Scotland, you know.
So lets see, (sorry I stumbled in on this late.)
Abu has Hard drive temps that are supposdly below ambient temp, (which is the temp for the surrounding air.) He claims he is getting this, by having hard drive coolings fans, blow that ambient temperature, onto his hard drive.
Essentially , by blowing ambient air onto his hard drive, he has attained a temperature below ambient..... <_<
Abu, if I may ask, what are your thoughts on perpetual motion? :lol:
Serious though, either the temp sensor is wrong, OR, that prog u have is reading the wrong sensors, for instance, the motherboard temp shown could easily be a power supply temp, and the Hard drive temp could thus be the motherboard temp.
now, if that were true, I could believe all the temps, but thats just rediclious how it looks now.
lol for sum reason i find this thread really funny mayb move it to the funny stuff section ? lol :lol: :lol:
well, if my hd was the temp of my cpu and mobo, it'll be hot when i put my finger on it rite? well, it's colder than my mouse rite now.
