finished.... took some time because i tried to arrange the insides... it's pretty strong although the instructions for the stabilizer are bad. i think i put too little, but whatever. so far the temp are low (31c) , and the fan is at 600 but i'll see how it goes. i tried to connect my rear fan to the...

Thanks! the article is great (but my god - 25 hours to wait for the AS?? - or 200 for the ocz!) i saw the instructions in AC site - and they weren't very good for me.
i will inform of my success.... (hopefully)

update - got the kit today. i saw this site about applying thermal grease, but i'm not sure about the amounts and how should i spread it - http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/274/10 i'm asking because i did my scythe when i got it kinda of bad. (i spread it too much i think). hope i could do it w...

did it work?

regarding the green - what's the difference in platter density between 500 and 750? (it's said that the 500 is 1 platter)

also, why is the blue ranked higher in the spcr charts?

would a 3 platter green (750) be quieter then a 2 platter blue (640)?

(couldn't find the density, another topic suggested it was 3*333mb or 3*250)

interesting topic, i have a question about the 750GB- http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=608 in contrast to the 750gb that was reviewed here- http://www.silentpcreview.com/article786-page1.html is there a speed difference? it's 2-3 platters? (actually, what's the difference between ...

thanks buddy, i'm checking the thread you linked. also, i don't like samsung HDD, had a bad experience (i'm sure they're ok but that's just me). the thing is, my WD 640GB (that has 2 platters) went kaput, so in the warranty i might be able to change to a WD green 750GB. edit - the article about the ...

thanks.

regarding AAM - im all the reviews it is written aam\idles\access. how do they know the when it uses aam?

how do i know how many platters are there?
http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=608

Hey everybody, i wanted to know how can i activate the AAM option in a Barracuda 7200.9 - 250GB and in a Barracuda 7200.10 - 320GB. also, how do i set it on a Western Digital 640GB - WD6400AAKS. would it be better to take the WD caviar green 750GB - WD7500AADS - instead of the blue? will the green b...

hope this is in the right forum.

see you there,
Dan.

that's cool!

about the cutting - i meant that i don't like cutting. that's just me. i'm sure you've done it great.

i actually don't like what he did with it. cutting the case usn't the right thing to do, akso mounting the hdd as he did isn't great, especially that hey are so close together. the temps might change my mind..

what is the setup you want to use?

interesting indeed!

what are the temp (c) it's running at?

old thread but i have to add -
it idles around 60c, and my ninja+scythe blow downwards abit on the card.

it actually whined at the beginning but it was just a bad sample (the new one i got does a bit when it's really hot - ~80c).

I tried all of your recommendations.
and my BIOS can't detect it.
i think that's it for it.
but, do you think a hdd can be fixed? i don't think it got erased.

33db at idle?

Thanks a lot! it was very informative.

i got the Stabilizer and an MX2 - which arrive in 14 business days.. (how i hate that!).
i will update later.
thanks again,
Dan.

thanks,
as it is, it doesn't recognize the drive.
even when i checked it with windows "Computer Management".
i'll will try to connect it and see if it recognizes it or it's some of a software problem.

Hi, i have a WD SE 640GB - http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=394 which i got around a year ago. i have another segate 7200.10 320GB ( http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.jsp?locale=en-US&name=Barracuda_7200.10_SATA_320.3_GB&vgnextoid=d18b97c102ede010VgnVCM100000dd04090aRCRD&locale=en...

the temp drop of the CPU doesn't seem to be worth it.

BUT, how do you get your HDD so low??

thanks a lot! as the chart shows, the Scythe grease is 74c and arctic cooling (which is my alternative) is 73.5c. is it really half a degree cooler? my ambient temp' is higher though. btw, what is the (best) way to clean the chip before applying. and what is the (best) way to apply the paste on the ...

what thermal grease should i use?
thanks.

thanks!

what about the scythe Thermal Grease? how is it for cooling?

Hi ppl, i was planning on getting this back plate for my ninja rev.b (that comes with the weird connectors) - http://www.scythe-usa.com/product/acc/048/sccsi775_detail.html does anyone have it? it comes with thermal grease, and i wanted to know if i should use it or get something else (if so, what?)...

i thought of doing a diy project and put the case 120 fan (that spins at 800~) in front of the hdd. but it's covered by the drive covers (which are detachable)

mine are suspended to.
but they are noisy (!) at seeks.

i got mixed up - i meant that each sata2 port on the MB has 2 outputs, can i connect different types on the same sata?

do you know anything about heat? my segates work at 47c.

anyone?

also, how safe is it to send a hdd by mail? i asked the company and they said it was ok, but i don't know if that's really the case.

how quiet is the "Blue"? (6400aaks http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=394) - i have only that here. also - can i connect 2 different makes to the same sata2 cable? how is it's temperature? mine are soft mounted in the front of the case without any intake fan (only a pull fan from th...

Hi, I currently have 2 seagate HDs - Barracuda 7200.9 250624 Barracuda 7200.10 320620 i want to add a new drive, can i use a different make? such as the WD Caviar SE16 640GB (WD6400AAKS)? how is this drive? the review says there are 2 types of it. and one is better than the other. how do i see the d...
