Hard Drives overheating

Ok guys I really need your help on this one, my IBM 7200rpm 18gig and my Maxtor 7200rpm 40gig drive are getting way too hot, it actually gets hotter than my overclocked cpu causing my computer to freeze (hehe doesn't really sound right). I was wondering if you guys could recomend a reasonably priced hard drive cooler and tell me where i could find it. Thanks ps - yes i am aware that this isn't the correct forum but as we all know this one gets more traffic than all the others __________________ Moderator please move this topic... hehehehe, more traffic what are you talking bout... It is only Renots and me in here. __________________ Lieutenant!! how dare you speak to me like that!!!

Renots and AmRivlin??? Who else has had their name as the last poster in every single thread on the first page of the Off-Topic forum?? That's right! ME!! I'm the king of Off-Topic!! __________________ finally a helpful post, thanks coleslaw __________________ I have the Triple Hard Drive Cooler, which is very nice. It was rather confusing trying to install a hard drive behind that thing, but eventually I figured it out. Twist-Ties come in very handy!! __________________ I just ordered the Ultimate hard drive cooler. It looks like the most effective thing. and if all goes well I just might write up a review for apex Since i've had my drive for about a month and its been baking the whole time i'm probably going to go and get another drive just like it and replace it so this one doesn't die on me. This is my Audio/Video drive so I can't risk all the data on here. __________________ Well, needless to say, if your system sill locks up, you know that it wasn't the hard drive! That thing would cool a female cat in heat! Best of luck!
