Hum,
i mounted a fan to blow over my two HDs and now have a reassuringly temperature of 27-30 C....

i believe you could mount a flat metal plate to conduct away some heat if you think your HD is getting too hot as well...

[blobrana]

Through software (speed fan)
and also via a temp sensor attached under the cover of the HD (linked up to a nice LED screen on the case)

[blobrana]

cool,
i could add that opening a window/door helps a lot, especially if you place the computer in a draft...

i shoud also mention that there are `silent` fans out there that could fit onto an Amiga case (or under the trapdoor if you extend the legs)



i should point out that i`m running SETI (that is why the CPU is 100%)

[blobrana]

yeah,

you cant rely on the accuracy of the software, and HW probes can be fooled as to where they are actually placed (in the air flow etc)
though in my case the Hardware sensor cable is directly attached to the HD case (and the two readings, SW/HW, tally).

BTW - HEY!  it’s a hot sunny day outside, it doesn`t always rain here....time to sunbathe....

Hum,
time for an Ambient Temp thread?

Over here 20 degrees Celcius (do not ajust your heating)ambient temp.

Here another image with SETI switched off..an fans put onto stealth mode


And link to Startech 2-fan Hard Drive Cooler

(Its cheap, but one 3" silent fan will do the same job if you can mount it to blow air (between/over) your HD)

[blobrana]

Hum,


but if it was a competition as to who had the coolest HD then you would lose.

But yeah, seagates are ok. (i havn`t had too much probs with maxtors though a few ppl have said they blow up and are a bit noisy.)

(has anyone mentioned buffers yet?)
