Hello everybody, > reduces HDD noise significantly by decoupling it from the case with rubber > isolation points..
Decoupling a HDD from the case is no good idea, since more than 75% of the HDD heat is emmitted at the side of a HDD. You will either need a further fan to cool it down or the livetime may be reduced significantly. If a HDD is not mounted properly and can move a bit or gets too hot seek time and access is much slower. > This is what they do inside high end DVD players to isolate noise from the > reading mechanisim and the case. doing this to your fans will also make a > huge difference (as well as adding a resistor to drop the voltage to the > fan to around 9-10 volts and slow it down a bit. DVD-Players are not nearly as hot as a HDD under load.. Marcel ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
