    Do you by any chance have the inter-cooler fitted to the back of your box???

    If so turn the cooler off and it will be noise free !!

    I had a horrendous noise coming from mine and didnt know what the hell it was, it sounded like the case was gonna rattle off. I turned off the intercooler and its bloody silent?

    Have you tried taking the HDD off and see if it still makes the noise?

    Mine makes loads of noise too, but it all comes from the CD drive (un-hacked).

    I honestly thought that as well, it sounded like it was gonna spin till it melted, it was going round at a crazy rate (or so i thought). My problem was that bloody intercooler.

    Change of media I think.
    Buy a few 10 packs of different media and test them all out, see if you can narrow it down to a certain brand.

    Verbs aren`t always the best, my Hitachi drive works best with the AOnes from neo - I`ve tried verbs, RiDisc Xtreme, AOnes and traxdata.

    Whats the intercooler?

    Is that the add-on with the extra fans or something that comes as standard?

    lol... ????? huh

    ----------------

    ... I doubt it's the media, maybe it's a burning setup/speed issue, although I burn at max speed every time without any problems. And is this happening on any game in particular or all backups?

    Yeah, i read a few reviews about it, and the general consensus was that it didn't do anything other than make more noise. Cooled it down a bit, but had no impact on performance.
