the black one la. down there.cools 4 sandwiched hard disk at 1 go

wah lao u gila kah...4 hdd sandwhich like dat..u got leave space in between anot? sure become like oven inside there leh

no la. before this it was damn hot. now its just 30 degrees lower. some are 25-27 degrees. thanks to the nidec beta V

hehe nidec... sure super noisy one.....bt nice temps u have....

can add a VR to control the speed. noisy? oke la consider triblade. i place it under the cubical and wore headphone. don't really disturb me much

eheh with headphoe ofcousrse man...but y buy nidec and contropl it...i personaly like it load...feel like the pc got more power inside..more garang

you'll go deaf when you try to sleep with your pc on. nidec? cause triblade and practical. i have a delta focus flow 190cfm one. that one is a screamer. still sitting on the shelf waiting to be used. problem is. nidec can perform good cfm below 1 amp. and that deltai have is 3amp. so try its a power sucker

haha ...hard to find fan controller for the delta ehh... i using three deltas in my rig man... 120mm 190cfm..i think same like urs..one front one back one top...after a while u get use to it leh....

i'm used to it la. but then when you turn your pc off then you'll realised that its awfully loud. owh another thing, these fan are dangerous. dun get your fingers cut off

hehe my deltas all have fan grills on both sides..coz i got all my niece running around in my house dangerousr leh...bt fan grills make it noiseier man

Aiyor...ur case is pure brute force lar brudder. It's like killing shooting fish in a barrel with an AK47 lar.

Actually I had a discussion from some of the folks down south regarding some HDD cooling solution but can't reveal here ler...later I get murdered by booest

what is so secretive ??? wanna snipe for more detailssss

this is exactly what i did for my file server hdds in the office using an 80mm low speed fan from a dead psu...works too!!! but only open case...close case and the temps will rise somemore

as for the delta FFBs, try and check if they can run from standstill at 5v or 7v. if they can, consider urself lucky. i have 4 120mm FFB and only one can run at 5/7v.

anyway, no need fan controller for the FFBs... u can actually make a flip switch for it. awake=12v, sleeping time 5 or 7v. thats what i did to my 120 & 80 mm FFBs in my case as well as the other fans in my case. helps hell of alot too.. best thing is the FFBs still push a decent amount of air even at 5v

12v-5v SWITCH

12v-7v SWITCH

i'm using Nidec D08K-12TS4 01 (80mm x 2 intake and blowing my HDD) + 80mm x 1 exhuast (making smooth air system)

Maxtor sata 80g : 29'c - 36'c


using powerlogic artix 5000g, cooling fan cant directly blowing the hdd, else will get better result

guys pictures pls.... post pictures of ur cooling .....
@madman
thx for the info dude...i didnt know ffb's could run at so low voltage.....

running through my photobucket and came across these test I did a while back... temp probe on position as per pic.

At Idle



At Load (defrag)

that note that not all FFBs can run at low voltage...if u have ones that can run at low voltage then ur lucky... coz like i said... i have 4 120mm FFB and only 1 can run at 5v...the rest only can run at 12v... thats why i asked u to check first before deciding to make the switch

Guys, may I know can HDD put in 45° mean like this /. The idea is if I put the 2 hdd like this // and put one fan to blow it at front //I // = hdd, I = fan then the air sure will blow to the pcb area more and also to 2 hdd. please advise........TQ

Don't blow directly on the PCB, can cause static. And positioning the hard disk like that is not recommended imo as the weight distribution is not balanced.

Thanks...will follow your advise. Still thinking of how to cooling down the hdd. Feeling that is good to screw it at the metal hdd case n let the heat flow to the case and put one or 2 fan blow from side..........Is this a good way to do? Pls advise.
