But I don't drive lol). Most of the games I play are very graphic intensive, so produce a lot of heat from both the GPU and the CPU (as well as the northbridge and the four RAM sticks that I have in all of my computers) I was shocked at the amount of heat that is given off. In winter I have to open the study windows because it gets so hot in there. Especially when the kids have their computers on as well. In summer we can only have the one computer on because it gets too hot.</p> <p>Not surprisingly, with all the fans I've installed the computers never feel that hot apart from around where the power supply is situated. I'd recommend anyone adding extra cooling to their systems. It's easy to do, fans are cheap and there are different types such as those I mention above. Doing so could save you the loss of a relatively expensive HDD, or even your cpu or graphics card.</p> <p>I never realized my computers were actually overheating until I installed one of the Hard Drive monitoring programs given away here. I've since bought the program so that I can get updates. (though it's been given away twice now, and the way things seem with the project it could very well be given away again). :) Which would be fabulous as the licence I bought is only good for one computer. ;) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3293#post-29660 Sat, 17 May 2008 13:15:47 +0000 copmom 29660@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Gee Wabbit.. you must be running some HOT programs to need all that cooling!

Even if it was a false positive it's worth the effort of backing up your valuable data. And that's coming from someone whose lost over 200Gb of data in just one go after one of my HDD's died (that was less than six months old). I think it was my fault though as I didn't have adequate cooling; because after installing HDD monitoring software given away from the giveaway project I found the HDD's in my gaming machine were constantly reraching critical temperatures. All my computers have loads of cooling now. he only down side to that is there's more noise from the computers due to all the fans. I've put fans directly onto some of my HDD's as well as those that fit in the bays at the back of the computer plus decent cpu fans and inlet outlet port fans. The temperatures have dropped from 45+ degrees to 20 - 25 degrees. :) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3293#post-29630 Sat, 17 May 2008 04:28:25 +0000 graylox 29630@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>no problems with Vista<br /> thanks K8 :) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3293#post-29617 Sat, 17 May 2008 02:25:29 +0000 robm 29617@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>K8 thank you, the program worked well and your instructions about the program and registration were excellent. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3293#post-29583 Fri, 16 May 2008 09:19:49 +0000 Lee 29583@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks for the post, works a treat! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3293#post-29540 Fri, 16 May 2008 00:16:29 +0000 rezidue 29540@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>TY K8 </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3293#post-29498 Thu, 15 May 2008 09:35:24 +0000 k8UndeadFox 29498@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>FREE - O&#38;O DriveLED 2 (worth $19.95)</p> <p>Because hard disk drives contain parts designed to operate with precision to the nearest micro inch or at speeds topping as many a thousand of revolutions per minute, the possibility of a malfunction rises with the age of the hard disk.
