    Hey guys I wanted to post these Hardware monitor temps for my 8662 I got yesterday. Are these normal temperatures I should be expecting after 2 hours of gaming? Also I installed a SSD and it isn' showing up on the HW monitor program. Any ideas how to get it to detect it? Thanks.

    Yep, no problem with temperatures. A nice cooler can drop it by ~10C though.

    By nice cooler, he means the NC2000.

    no temperature sensor on an ssd--no moving parts either, so no real problem

    Your ACPI temp is a good estimate for the SSD temps; the internal temps are a bit high actually, but SSD HDDs run hotter (rather, their SATA connections) and it's summer and you've been running it gaming, for a while. The temps are ok but I would get a cooler as well. Nowhere near dangerous temps, however.

    Those aren't so bad, they're warm but not fatal. Like sabricaze and Soviet Sunrise said, a nice cooler will help.

    I've never run my 8662 without my NC1000 but that HDD temp still looks a bit high. Isn't over 55C rough for an HDD?

    60C is the danger zone for HDDs. 55C won't hurt it.

    Oops I misread his temps. I thought his HDD was 77C but that was just his GPU D'oh!

    Pretty good temps. Just curious, though. What CPU do you have? I'm using a P8700 and the max I've ever gotten my CPU was 67 or so.

    Also, did you open HWMonitor right when you closed your game? If you did, could you host a few-hour gaming session and leave HWMonitor on the whole time to check the max? The only reason I ask is because normally when I close a game, my gpu temp drops by 5+ degrees in a couple of seconds. So I guess I figured you opened it right after you closed the game as the temperature didn't seem to drop from the max.
