better airflow is always good. I have like 7 fans in my case and they are all so quiet that once when i powered my system on i thought i didn't press the on button so i pressed it again and the PC rebooted. My monitor was off and the PC was really quiet, i couldn't hear it.PBAsydney wrote:
Meh, then I'd have to route more cables to the 5.25 bay.
I got 4 hard drives in that lower cage, and they are all very happy.
I'll tie the fan up there though. Should provide my case with more airflow.
Only thing that makes noise in my PC are the hard drives..Sup wrote:

Then you need to get what i have. Zalman HDD cooler. Not only it cools down your HDD a bit, it also has rubber pads that silent your HDD and prevent damage. + it has anti static wire.P+BAsydney wrote:

Oh, and the Scythe kama wouldn't fit anyway, I have 3 5.25 bays free at the back, but at the front only two, my fan controller is there.
antistatic wire? The drive is grounded over the PSU.Sup wrote:

Why does Zalman bundle the wire with the cooler then? Just to be 100% safe i guess.max wrote:

Well i had to be sure. One of my HDD already died cos of static electricity. Maybe cos it was a Maxtor?max wrote:

You don't need an anti-static wire. The drive won't produce any static and even if it did, it's grounded though the power cable

I'd reverse your HD's and mount the fan on the 3.5in bays. It would provide airflow for your GFX/CPU/MB
