B.Ob. Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 BBspot Labs: Hard Drive Cooling "Increasing air circulation around your hard drive is the best way to remove the heat. However, most of us do not have the lung power to blow on our hard drive for long periods of time. Cooling fans are another option but can be loud and expensive. A cheaper and quieter solution solution would be to completely immerse the hard drive in water. Sometimes, however, a hard drive can run so hot that it will quickly evaporate the water. In these situations, we recommend freezing the hard drive in a block of ice." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wargasm Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I though that was one of your suggestions when you were haveing trouble with that crappy MSI board.....you know, the one where you created problems I'd nave heard of before? :bonk: Looks like you got your new system running without a hitch. I must have taught you pretty good. :snore: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have taught you pretty good. <<-- Wargasm Yeah, I tend to learn from mistakes & very rarely repeat the same one twice. So, what's new & exciting w/ U?? U missed the last lan party, which was a total BLAST, & haven't been on the forum for like a month or so now. I was starting to thinking that your mind had finally slipped into the "twilight zone" on a permanent basis & we weren't going to hear from U again. :flush: Are we to expect your presence @ the lan party on 5/22?? -- Nem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Major_Chaos Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 i tried that freezing trick but now my harddrive won't boot. is there a trick or something to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 i tried that freezing trick but now my harddrive won't boot. is there a trick or something to it? Yeah, you're supposed to have the PC frozen as well & be standing in a tub of non-frozen water when turning things on. That tends to kick-start everything off rather well. :evil: -- Nem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
