Zalman HDD Heatpipe

[InQ]

Has anyone got one of these Zalman coolers/anti-vibration heatpipes?
If so does it make a noticeable difference in reducing any HDD vibration/noise?

I have a couple of them.

They reduce resonation noise but I have found elastic suspension better (and considerably cheaper).

They do run cooler than stock but need airflow to remove the heat from the heatpipes more effectively.

Cheers Dave.

Just got my Spinpoint P120S mounted in one today and it does make a bit of a difference with the vibration noise....not huge but u can tell so acceptable for £16.
