Zalman ZM-2HC2

http://www.pccasegear.com/prod2456.htm

It's finally available in Australia. Yet, I'm having doubts

1st, as far as I know, the top and bottom is the hottest parts of a HDD. Yet, this cooler tempts to cool the sides instead, what about the burning top and bottom then?

Dead silent as in dead silent. I tested the noise level @ midnight with all my windows and doors closed. the only noise the pump generate is sending vibration to the case which is why i added foam and the problem is solved.

I covered the interior with foam, not acoustic foam, just normal anti static foam. It really helped in reducing the pump sending vibration to the rest of the cases.

that'd be 3 years. I think it's time to get a new PSU after 3 years anyway :D

My Phantom is going to die in 3 weeks.

I just got my phantom today. Had a look @ it, it has the BLACK QA stamp = old batch
