I see alot of you guys put your magdrive inside your case. I've avoided doing that for the simple reason that I'm afraid of data corruption from the magnetic field coming from the pump.
I held a strong magnet close to my magdrive and I can feel it vibrating up to 8" away from the pump.
Any thoughts?
I mean if you have your FSB jacked up and your PCI bus is likewise overclocked, I'd think that corruption would be likely if your cables,or drives were in the same area.

What about using a 120volt AC fan on a radiator mounted inside? EMF problems?

Also, I have a 12voltDC 110mm fan I want to use on my radiator but it won't spin up....it trys, but it just vibrates. any ideas? I put my battery charger on at 6 amps and it still won't go. Any tricks before I shell out 20.00 for a new one?
