Passive HDD Coolers Compared from Scythe and Titan

Cooling/VGA & Other Cooling by jmke @ 2008-07-18

In this article we take a closer look at three solutions from Titan and Scythe which aim to cool your HDD without fans; two of these products, Titan TTC-HD90 and Scythe Himuro also help reduce noise. We combine them with a 10.000rpm Raptor to see if they can handle the heat and noise!

Titan TTC-HD90 and TTC-HD92

Titan send us two hard drive cooling solutions. A large 5.25” sized cooled called the TTC-HD90 and a smaller 3.5” heatsink TTC-HD92.

Both of these coolers are made from light weight aluminium and neither one features any active cooling. They come in fancy retail packaging as you’ll be able to find these products on the shelves of your local PC hardware store.

They are compatible with 3.5” drives and are interface independent, meaning you can install them on a SATA/PATA/SCSI HDD without issue.

The TTC-HD92 doesn’t have a lot of parts, one large heatsink and a set of screws is all you’ll find inside the package:
