    Checking HWMonitor, my SSD temp is a toasty 128 degrees Celsius. That seems awful high.

    Needed to apply a fix from the manufacturer. Now it is reporting the correct temps.

    Assuming your SSD is an OCZ Agility 3 or Vertex 3, the temps reported are fake (there's no sensor on the SSD). The fix from OCZ simply changes the report value and locks it at 30C.

    From the thread on the OCZ forums:
