    Just received my I6400, when i ran HD Tune found out that the temp is at 55°C and on the health status shows it failed. Does anyone have the same problem? My HD is seagate, i have attach the picture file. How reliable if the software from HD Tune? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

    NHC shows my Seagate 5400 120gb at 33c, although it's only been on for about 15 mins
    the program is just as accurate as any other prog, as it's just getting the answer from the mobo
    still, 55 is a little hot, (but not dangerous)
    after all, it's a 7200rpm :)

    Thanks syxbit, is yours a SATA or IDE type for the HD? Was there any faults in the health status? Mine is SATA type.
