hard drive cooling question

NeVeR

Hi.

I have 3 Hard drives in my new PC and i have a feeling they are runing a little hot.

i dont know what a normal heat if for a hard drive cos i've never touched one till now..

I seen these on komplett http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=314643

would these do the trick ? also how do you get power to theses? If i bought 3 would i be able to power them all ?

Or should i go for something different ?

yeah they will do the job a bit noisy thow they use standard molex connectors so it shouldnt be a problem id ideally have a 120mm case fan blowing cool air overthem and im assuming you have a rear exhaust?

Well i have the side of my case.

I have no added fans.. only have the processor one. https://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=309861 this one... there is also a small fan on the mother board and graphics card..

What is a Molex connector?
What extra fan would you suggest? I know i need something

Molex connectors are the connections on the power leads coming from the psu --->http://www.ag.ndsu.nodak.edu/agcomm/accs/support/maintenance/images/molex.jpg

id suggest getting a 120mm fan at the rear of your case most modern cases cater for them & also at the front of your case

A proper case with a 120mil in and out fan, with the in fan blowing air onto the hard-drives would be a better buy.

are they easy to mount ?

Do you think i need one at the front and back ?
Can you sugest a god one from Komplett?

Also do you think i need the other HDD fans ?

i'm just after installing all my stuff into a new tower... i dont want to remove it.

I'd rather buy a few Fans,

Does your case have fan munts in the right place tho
