    Default My Hard Drive stand-in too high

    Hi guys,
    I've observe that my hard drive temps are fairly high these days. Is there any way I can help them cool? I was thoughts of leaving the case open for the summer because I never got temps this high in the winter.

    Wow, those are high. What are you using for case airing? Typically having fans blow air into and out of the case is a much better solution than leaving the case open. Eating in the front where the drives are, and exhaust out the back usually works best for drive cooling, at least for me.

    I used to have an standard temp of about 38 for my drives in my old case. I chosen up a new one with front fans, and the temps are now 28 to 30C on average. My room temp is usually 20 to 24C.
