I was using HDTune today and the temperature on my original 2TD WD drive is at 52 C. I don't know what it was at before I installed a new hard drive. My case is a Carbide 300R and all four of my hard drive bays are now filled.
To solve the temperature problem, I was thinking of installing a second fan in the front of the case, maybe near the bottom beside the hard drives. Would that help?
I was wondering a couple of things:
1. Which fan would you recommend? I was thinking a 140mm one... a quiet one would be nice since I can hear a lot through the holes of this case.
2. Would I need to move the current fan I have at the front?
3. Where on the motherboard would I connect the fan?
4. Will there be another connector going to the power supply?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I just want to know if it's worth it to do and to know the general procedure before I try.
