    Ticking noise.

    hmm alrgiht I'm going to check it again when I get home from work. Could they be overheating? My ambient case temp isn't high, but the drives are close together in there.

    Ticking noise.

    Wait so would you guys consider it bad that my new Raid 0 drives kinda sound like that. They will tick, then whiz, like you can hear it spinning, they do this pretty much constantly.. It is my first Raid so I just figured it was normal...

    VERY Basic liquid cooling question (I think) PLEASE ADVISE

    You can always throw a split in there and have 2 seperate lines, 1 to your CPU, one to the GPU. Unfortunatly from what every above me has said I highly doubt the parts you bought will be enough to achieve good cooling this way.

    HD wont display in Windows.

    Try heading to Start>Run diskmgmt.msc and see if windows recognizes your HD, when I installed a new HD on my system that already had windows installed I had to enable it through that menu.

    suggestions please

    Just my 2 cents but if you have the $$ for a raptor and a 250gb Caviar you might be better off buying another 250 gb caviar and raid that. Over 30% more space in there, save some cash, and you will have your whole system faster, instead of just running windows and a few programs off of your...
