    search the forums...I just tried upgrading. Didn't go to well for me. It vibrated alot...I thought it wouldn't bother me, but after a days use it drove me crazy. It wasn't any hotter than my old one. The fans in the Z just seem to go all the time no matter what.

    Please do not start multiple threads with the same topic. It is againt the forum rules.

    Like I said in your other thread, stick with 5400rpm if you want to minimize risk of noise, heat and vibration.

    I'll close this thread. Discussion can continue in the other threads.
