    Get USB3 or E-Sata 5ΒΌ" External Drive Enclosure and just use the one you have. Free up a bay and not loose any speed like on USB 2

      Hmm, I never considered an enclosure. I've been using e-sata enclosures for hard drives for years now, but it never occurred to me those existed for 5.25 devices. Duuuuuhh!! Great idea I hadn't considered, thanks! I can get a cheap USB3 DVD writer for $30 locally, so it's either that or a cheap enclosure.

        For my blue-ray players I think the enclosure is my best choice. Would be cheaper to upgrade with future builds.

          I do love my Vantec HD enclosure. Those things are worth the money, and you'll have it for years. I might pony up the dough for that, but with the impending release of the 900D case from Corsair, I might need to save all my pennies for that thing. Decisions decisions!

              I asked the same question....looks like res swirl and realtemp are the answer, cuz coretemp blows.

                I need to stop asking questions like this. The answers become expensive.

                  Agreed. I've been using CoreTemp for quite some time now; just last week, I came home from work to find the PC had shut itself down, seems CoreTemp was reading my CPU temp between 0 degrees and 192 degrees Celsius ...thus shutting down my PC.

                  Have since unchecked the overheat protection, and just use it to see the current temp and CPU clock.

                  Considered getting myself the Corsair Link setup; but after glancing through their forums, seems it was rushed out and loads of folks are having issues. So will stick with what I have for now. As for flow rates; I've got my DCP 4.0 pump running off a Lamptron fan controller - have it setup to read the RPM's and voltage.
