You're way too worried. Hard drives do not need liquid cooling in any way, shape, or form.

As for fans, you should have at least a couple in your system, even if it is watercooled. You don't want the air in the case to be completely stagnant.

^agreed, there are other components in your case that need cooling besides the CPU and GPU... hard drives, northbridge, southbridge, capacitors mosfetts basically anything on the motherboard.

Check temps with speedfan if they are in operational range on mfgs website your good... if not than turn on some of those 120mm fans.
