I have 1 Seagate 80GB and 1 Maxtor 80GB. I can't tell the model right now since I'm not at home. Usually the Seagate runs more or less 10ºC hotter than the Maxtor, I'm getting the temps from HDDTemp.
With air I used to get temperatures around 45ºC for the Seagate and 33ºC for the Maxtor. Now with water I'm getting 33~35ºC in the Seagate and 28~30ºC in the Maxtor, yes temperature raised a little for it.

I'm planning on getting a new PC next year, and definetly I'm going to replace the disks, I'm not sure for what yet but it will be a RAID 0 with something like 2x200GB. That's why I'm concerned with temperatures, and if I should worry on getting a new block for them. I don't care about ease to move or replace the drives, my main worry is with silence...
So with this in consideration should I go for a solution like this block clocker posted or what?

Thx.
