What sevisehda says is most likely true, but what is being missed is that HDD heat, (at least the HDD's I've had), its more a heat soak over time issue, not a direct heat that needs to be sinked away like a chip. Most HDD's will be cooled effectively just using a fan blowing directly on them, If like me you don't want fans they can get overly hot over time with no airflow. A waterblock will work pretty well whether top or side mounted, and If as I said you want to avoid the vibration noise you won't be hard mounting them so the top cooling block could have side plates to retain, which was my original intention. I think Top cooling is preferred mainly because its more economical in that two drives can be cooled with one simple block, even if it is a little less effecient

Are you still getting problems as I didn't totally understand your mail as there are no "next page buttons" anyhow it seems to work fine my end so if you are still getting issue what browser are you using?
