stupid question, but have you tried different types of HD's? have you also tried directing a fan over the hard drives? had to ask
|
No, still have the Western Dig's. I got a Sh-tload from best buy about 2 years ago when they were rebated down to almost nothing and now I'm trying to keep them from dying on me. Odd, because I never had problems with them before this batch. The drives were actually directly in the path of the two front intake fans (2x80mm). Both times they died they were the sole HDD in the machine, figured I'd put the remaining drives I have and go with a raid-0 array for storage and a sole system drive. I'm also moving everything into a slightly larger case with the hopes of getting a little less cluttered and therefore some better airflow.

regardless of overclocking or not, the gpu is still important as its one of the major heat sources, and should be cooled accordingly
|
Well, I'll take a look, still trying to find some reviews of gpu blocks, I may change the setup as right now I'm still in the research phase on all of this.

about the manifold, do look at bladerunner's, all they really require is a chunk of plastic, a drill with a few appropriately sized bits, a saw, and a tap for the barbs, and maybe a file. no actual machining involved

I was thinking about that, but I've never attempted to tap anything let alone plexi. Not sure how well it would work out, but I'm considering giving it a shot. I would like to avoid the 90 deg. outputs in the manifold I found.
