    52C is a little on the high side I think. Mine runs around 40C, but then that may depend upon the type and manufacturer of the drive.

    it got upto 127f / 53c last night.
    i still cant work out why this software says its the unregistered version when it has been registered. also it doesnt load on startup but the box is ticked for it to do so.
    ive come to the conclusion- i hate vista.

    60-65 would be on the high side for a drive. 52 is well within normal, I say.
