    Do you have it well ventilated? You don't have it on your lap or a carpet do you? I guess you could try to prop it up on some bottle caps or something. The core temps aren't really that worrying, and neither is the GPU, but the HDD is definitely hot. Who is it's manufacturer, and what's its speed?

    I don't know what the other 2 temps are though. I have them too, and they're usually in the 40s, so I guess 60 does sound kind of hot.

    its running on AC power. the battery was left at home.
    its on top of a regular table.
    The HD is a WDC WD3200BEKT

    I was wiping the dust of the lcd screen plastic and at bottom of the plastic it is hot. my 6831fx never had any heat there.

    Your HDD shouldnt be at 54.
    I've been running Defrag for two hours now and its only at 52c.
    Your GPU is fine.
    Right now I'm running the same things you were running in your post (Firefox, Windows media player, and I'm running a defrag on the HDD as stated earlier) Plus I have Call Of Duty 4 minimized at the bottom, My temps are:

    TZS1: 42c
    TZs0: 42c

    Core#0: 20c
    Core#1: 17c

    GPU Core: 46c

    HDD: 52c (Due to prolonged defrag)

    And the room temp is 60F.
    So it depends on what your room temp is. What is it?

    Dude, you should get O&O defrag. Vista's sucks.

    Oh, and PopRox, I think you have something very wrong with your computer. It looks like your HD is a western digital, and they're supposed to run pretty cool. The system temps (I'm assuming that's what the ones at 60 are) aren't supposed to be nearly that high either.

    If I had to take a guess, I would guess that whatever is causing your system temps to be so high is also affecting your other components. The CPUs and GPU are still relatively normal, probably because they are good at cooling themselves. Even if the rest of the computer is hot, I think they can stay pretty cool. The hard drive, however, is very bad at cooling itself. If it gets hot, it'll stay hot for awhile. If you can, try putting the hard drive into another computer. If it stays at normal temperatures, then there's nothing wrong with it. Of course, I wouldn't know what's causing the system temps to go so high, since I don't actually know what components those temps represent.

    Those temps are a little high...

    My maxes are:

    TZS0- 63C
    TZS1- 64C
    GPU- 60C
    HDD- 45C

    And that's with a P9600, GPU OC, and after playing COD4 on my bed for over an hour... :)

    No, O&O isn't free, but you either get that, or you run vista's defrag all day. O&O is honestly one of the only software programs I consider to even be close to worth it. It defrags both my hard drives, which come to about 290 GB, in a few minutes. If I had XP, then it wouldn't be worth it, but Vista's defrag tool is absolutely horrible. O&O also comes with a lot of drive monitoring software too. You can have it running in the background, making sure your drive never fragments, although I personally prefer to run a single defrag maybe once every 2 days.

    I'll check it out.
    Something I don't get:
    I canceled the defrag of vista.
    When I started it, i had 132GB free. When I canceled it i had 142GB free.
    It stay'd like that for awhile.
    Than I ran AusLogics Defrag, and let it complete fully, now I only have 133GB... Why'd Auslogics defrag take 9GB of space..?

    EDIT: I'm so sorry for Hijacking your thread, Poprox.
