Hi

You COULD but why,,HDs don't suffer from heat problems...

If your HDD overheat (Like mine), Put a fan blowing on them. I use to get 67c and now they chill at 23c (I think that was a bit high but yea.) Best of luck.

should i put the fan on the green bit

and if so for this I would need to mout the hdd upside down

and have the fan blowing air towards the green bit

it works

i turned it upside down and put a fan on top of it, not even attached


past temps 48c

now it hovers around 26c

Hi

I still don't see why, we build computers in my shops and we NEVER bother to cool hds... no reason to...

All the best Brett

mine was hot

Also, I halved the temperature of it,

even If I didn't need to.
