    What do you think will make this go away

    P.S.
    Without the need to tear apart you network

    Hmm an PC Ice box, nice water cooling, sealed box to prevent dust ingress, with Gigabit ethernet too, with plenty of RAM and some method of minimizing writing to the drives too...
    Semi-retired from Free-DC...
    I have some time to help.....
    I need a new laptop,but who needs a laptop when you have a phone...

    Would some thing like this work better that a SATA
    http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0371589
    It has a big conch
    The pciE has a larger pipe if I am not wrong
    I have a new Iceberg W/cooling system I never installed
    And or a pirzo system for working at -0 F

    P.S.
    this looks cool to a Hybrid

    That last review is from 2010. I didn't notice until I saw it up against an OCZ Vertex II and was curious why they didn't compare to the Vertex III instead which has similar performance at ~ 550Mb/s though is a lot cheaper.

    I think it ranges from trying out a vga cooler like you mentioned on the SATA controller chip to replacing the mobo (which would mean a new CPU too).

    I intend to try the first option as soon as I get a chance, given the drive came back up just fine. Otherwise I'll sacrifice my windows machine which has a very good mobo+cpu

    Most of my MB's have some kind of coolers on the chip and like I said adding the heat-sink solved (can't read error)
    if you got a Old dead MB take the VGA cooler off and use that But use some heat sink past in the middle and a dab or ball
    of silicone at the 4 corners to lock it to the MB Let it cure laying down for 6 hrs and your good to go

    The silicone will not harm or short the MB
