Hi all,
I'm just wondering if a watercooling pump could induce EMI into nearby SATA cables or chipsets...
I'm having a meltdown of my C: drive on my computer every time I get it loaded... disk corruptions galore and I've replaced the hard drive 3 times... worst part is is that it's only the C: Drive every time... every other drive is fine no matter what...
It's either the motherboard, the memory, or the pump causing problems, and I'm trying to eliminate.
I have the Swiftech MCP655.
Thank you

Well if my resertor is too close to my crt monitor, it makes the display wiggle. It's possible.

Ok... Now could it cause interference in one cable but not any of the one's next to it?
Could EMI be that localized?
Thank you

Have you tried changing the power cable/sata cable? Back in the IDE days I had a power supply cable with one loose connector that made a drive act like that... it'd hang during formatting, cause the box to lock up randomly etc. Just a thought.

You know what, after I had tried everything else... even swapping out the motherboard... I decided I had nothing to lose by switching the cable... and so far... I have not encountered any of the other problems I was having...
So I hope like heck I have fixed the problem...
