Your thoughts on HD passive silencer. Temp. reducer

[Mr soft]

Hi
Just wondering your thoughts on this HD passive silencer.
Like does anyone have one ,do they reduce noise, and temps as they state, or are they just toys ?

I have a similar one and it works pretty well. Don't expect miracles, but it'll kill nearly all the vibrational noises and significantly dampen the seeking clicks.

That sounds good enough.

What about the temps? Much lower ?

Much higher, actually. My hard drive gets to around 43ºC under load.

Much higher, actually.

That´s a shame, I am always looking to reduce temps and noise a little more.
My HD´s running at 36 idle at the moment and it´s winter here.
Perhaps a 120 mm silent intake fan, passing air over the fins on that HD case. ?
They are 24 euros here.

What's 24 euros, the fan or the enclosure?

 

[Mr soft]

The enclosure.
The fans are pretty cheap about 8 to 10 euros. Their all Tacens as well.
My PSU is also Tacens.
I´d never heard of them before and there´s not much on the net, but I´ve nothing but praise, as all their products I´ve tried are very silent and seem reliable. Touch wood
