so, i've seen a guy watercool is pico computer... which was absolutely ridiculous but hey, if you can be that [H]ard, then why not...

but has anyone tried to watercool their RAID card? i'm not saying i think it's necessary at all, i'm just curious if anyone has gone that wild with it.
 
the concept seems a little beyond overboard... there aren't really any situations where this would be necessary, are there?

yes, there just happens to be.


this server card is ment to have airflow over the card, a lot of it and if it doesnt it gets HOT! and then drives will drop out of the array for no reason ect..
 
i have some adaptec SCSI raid and their passive heatsink is so useless, the card gets so dam hot!
 
raid cards can get really hot, and their cooling is usually pretty crappy. They are designed for server environment with a lot of airflow. So if you are stuffing it into a space with little or no airflow you have to ensure it will stay cool somehow.
