The thermal interface material (the foam) is what keeps your hard drive from overheating. Of course the temperatures soar, if you installed the thermal material you would probably get a 10 degrees temp drop. And none of these hard drive coolers that are fanless actually cool the hard drive. With all of them they will dampen the sound of the hard drive but will increase the temperature a bit. I don't like how these companies like Tuniq market them as coolers because they are actually sound dampeners...</p> You’re an id­iot.
