Guys, we found a revolutionary new design for harddrive cooling!

After 10 years of research and organizing, we have finally come up with a new solution.

Revolutionary, Air Cooling, Innovative, Recyclable

 

Have you ever wondered what should you do with that crappy cpu fan?

To be honest, they can run fine without cooling. Look at some small form factor PCs from Acer or something.

Best use for an Intel/AMD Stock heatsink? :P

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

based on my experience, it's the hdd's pcb that normally gets warm,not the top part..hitting 40C for a hdd is still ok and well beyond its thermal limit.

The heatsink would be pretty loud if it ran at full speed imo. My drives don't get really hot because of the front intake fans so it isn't really necessary imo but this is a great idea imo.

I don't have the fan running because AMD fans are probably one of the worst things ever created. They're loud and inefficient. I just use the heat sink.
