    Hi,

    Temperature near hard drive is insanely HIGH.

    Any suggestion how to cool HDD. Is this problem with all HP laptops?

    So we can't help him with his problem? ;)

    Try undervolting, it keeps the CPU cooler which should keep the rest of the laptop a little cooler. I'll let you use the search bar at the top, I find people give info on a silver platter too much.

    Yes people let's not forget about our manners ;) Let's offer him some helpful advice.

    Bulletguy, if we could get a more accurate description of how "hot" it is really getting
    Which would you say burns hotter? This?
    [​IMG]
    or your laptop?

    Well Chaz is NBR God.

    Actually, he's probably just software that can trawl though NBR at near the speed of light. Obviously. :D

    Replies @ speed of Light. LOL
    Ok, so it was bit exagerated statement ...burns my...., and it was because of my frustration with the heat HDD is emitting. Sorry Moderator !!!
    It is not Moded and runs plain windows vista (minus HP bloatware crap). Just normal web browsing and its getting very hot. You can touch laptop but can't put it on Lap for more than 5 mins. Its so uncomfortable. There is a design issue with this. I'm sure about it. HP has not designed it well and hence heat from HDD is not channeled out properly.

    Tried powersaver as well as Balanced. No improvement :(
    What is normal operating temperature of this Fujitsu HDD? Will it screw up my data if it runs continuously at such high temp?

    Did you see the link I posted earlier? Also, do you know what sort of temperatures we're talking here? You can measure temps with HD Tune.

    Cheers... :)

    My guess is that it's another bad HP laptop(sorry HP fans but admit it, some HP's have heat issues!).
    I had a brand tx2500 and it ran very hot even on power save. HP does not do well with cooling their laptops.

    You may want to consider buyin a different laptop if possible; Bulletguy.

    True, SOME Hp laptops have heating issues from what I've read, but not all. BUT so does Dell. Do a forum search for heat issues with the XPS16. Heat issues up the crapper.

    If there's one thing I've noticed about HPs I've tried in stores, it's that they often seem hot. :rolleyes:
