    Well this has been hanging over me for a long time. My little asus gets quite hot, when idling the CPU is at 58-60°C which is still acceptable by me, a bit high but ok. What concerns me is the HDD - it's a fujitsu 80GB drive and it climes up to 56°C. That's just wrong for me i don't think that's normal IDLE operational temperature. I was optimistic at first and hoping they would fix it with a bios upgrade, but now 6 months wen't by i'm runing the latest 217 bios and it's still just **** too hot for me.

    So here's my plead. Tell me it's normal.. the drive won't go out in "flames" in a month.. OR how the hell do i fix it. (oh yea the notebook cooler helps but that's not a permanent solution)

    Thanks guys.

    My A8Jc cpu climbs max up to 50c and Fujitsu hdd is in stress 41c. So your temperatures is way too high if asked from me (especially hdd).

    Well that just confirms my fear. Anyone else got something to say?
