  1. Well I just conected black to blue. I think those bare wires were part of the foil and insulation. I have another problem now and that is my compute will not detect anything. I tried it on another and it still doesnt work. I looked up some stuff in the fury tech forums an it seem a bunch of people have the same problem. Im guessing there is a loose connection somewhere so I am going to solder the connections together.

  2. Iv never seen my harddrive get past 40 C before. Based on what my harddrive temps have been I though 35ish was normal. Iv managed to slip a fan in by lodging it in between two of my power cables. Its helped my temps a little and I havnt had a reoccurence of that problem yet. What would a normal temp on a harddrive be? What would be a hot temp?

  3. Today was one of the first days where the temperature outside reached 80F. Nice and warm but this also means my room and very warm as well. I noticed all the temps on my PC were higher than normal which I guess is normal. I started to play some BF2 and everything worked fine for about an hour when I started to notice a major slowdown. I mean big where I could move or anything. I had to Alt F4 out of the game. Even then my computer was running incredibly slowly. I turned off my computer and came back about now , An hour later. Windows seems to running normally again. Would my hot harddrive be the cause of the slowdown? Iv never seen it hit 44C before. Would the heat damage the drive? Is there anything I can do about it without buying something? All I have is a leftover fan with a really short wire. I cant find a place where I can put the fan to blow on my HD and still reach the only power port I have left on my motherboard though.

  4. I have my primary on the marxell 1 and I have tried the second on on the other three but it hasnt worked. Ill switch out my cables and see what happens. I think on my old motherboard I had to install the drivers. I remember using a floppy during the intall but when I baught this motherboard I think windows found my harddrive and installed properly.

  5. I think up to date drivers were installed cant remember though. How would I be able to check. There wasnt a blue screen the boot just froze. That line that scrolls during boot just froze. The first time I rmaed my drive was because the data I put on the drive started to get corrupted. I did a diagnostic and I found that it was in the red. The other times I rmaed it were because of the same problem I am having now. My motherboard is a DFI Lanparty nf3.

  6. I just got my RMAed Harddrive back AGAIN. This is the third time iv rmaed it. When I plug it in my computer someimes fails to boot windows. When it does boot windows the os runs very slowly and I am unable to view my computer. The drive is my second harddrive and its SATA. Any ideas why this is happening?
