Silent Drive Enclosure - though these things reduce noise, whats the effect on the heating of the HDDs? Will they overheat more and block fans from cooling the HDDs? Also, would they harm/help internal heat of the case. (I'm a newb as you can see from my post count, I'm just shooting in the dark about the internal heat thing)

Was also wandering the same for the special padding. Harm/help internal heat of the case.

Thanks


If those Silent Drive Enclosures are what I think they are, then they shouldn't be a heat problem, according to MaximumPC magazine. They are a bit pricey, though. Padding would definately increase the overall heat in your system, so unless you've always been able to keep your temps far below the danger range, I wouldn't recommend them.

No, i've sorted out the PSU ages ago, the noise comes from the 15odd case fans that I have. My CPU HSF is an Aero7 on an XDream Heatsink, so thats pretty quiet.

The only reason I dont go for H2O is the fact that I like to LAN.


How about examining your airflow? Maybe switching a couple of intakes and outtakes around could make your system run cooler, thus needing less fans.

I assume that you mean fewer fans. Wink
