changing hd position was meant to be after power off and spin down. i have seen
drives develop problems and only run at new angle. i know of one drive that is
running for 8 years now, raised 1.5" on left side.

do not give up on board. i had a problem with one box where cpu was over heating.
adding a fan and clearing drive cables from around cpu allowed air to flow and
cpu cooled down.
adding silicon heat sink compound will help make cpu run cooler, if you have not
already applied.
