Hi,

Am going to go water cooling soon and was just wondering if watercooling your HDD is worth it? At the moment I have a raptor in a silentmaxx enclosure and a seagate in the hdd bay. Now what I would like to do is put the raptor in a watercooling caddy like this

Asetek Waterchill 5.25" Hard Drive Cooler

And then either sell the silentmax or put the segate in it. My questions to you are:

1. Is it at all worth watercooling my raptor?
2. Is that Asetek block any good?
3. It has 10mm fitting I assume this is incompatible with the 1/2" i will be using in my setup?

Thanks
