Dwindleflip Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I have a corsair 750D case, and 6 HDDs in it. The temps are 43, 46, 46, 50, 43, 52c. The drives are running hotter than my previous case. Is there anyway to improve cooling of the hard drives in these cases? I have them in the default side by side horizontal position at the bottom of the case. Would stacking them be better?

snapper69 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Quite possibly, however it could also affect the airflow from the front fans. It's possible to suspend the hard drive cages from the underside of the 5.25 cage and install 2 fans in the bottom of the case, which might work better than just stacking them.

Speed Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I have a corsair 750D case, and 6 HDDs in it. The temps are 43, 46, 46, 50, 43, 52c. The drives are running hotter than my previous case. Is there anyway to improve cooling of the hard drives in these cases? How are your fans set up? Do you have an equal(-ish) number of CFM coming as as going out? Ideally, the case should be slightly positively pressured. The HDDs in my 650D are 35C, 35C, 34C & 32C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwindleflip Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 Thanks for your response. The fans are the default 750d setup with the included fans. 2 intake front, 1 exhaust back and an H100i exhausting out the top (stock h100i fans pushing out over the rad). Also there is an MSI gtx670 in the case. Below is screencap of temps. For some reason hw monitor doesnt pick up some of the drives. http://s29.postimg.org/8ifazvspz/Screenshot_212.jpg http://s4.postimg.org/ch355u431/Screenshot_211.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwindleflip Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 I've stacked the hd cages, and the cooling has changed quite a bit for that those drives. No longer are they reaching 50c. The first 3 drives in the front cage are still the same temps but the 3 drives in the rear cage, which is now stacked on top of the front cage, are now a lot cooler. Now I'm wondering if i should lift the stack so its more centered on the front intake fans and right under the 5.25 drive cage. Now that I have the hard drive cages behind the front intake fans, should I put static pressure fans in the front intakes and replace the AF140s that come with the case? http://s9.postimg.org/knk8s6vzj/Screenshot_216.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
