Hard drive temperatures in 5793

Mine seems to always stay within 47-52c or so, today its been hanging at 50c and occasionally min at 48c. Under high load such as installing or patching things it can jump to 51-53c, but that's never an idle temp. Todays room temperature was a bit warmer so I think that's the main reason. Anyway it's a 7200rpm drive and I wanted to know if this is a bit high, most peoples screenshots that I've looked at seem to be in the low 40s while maxing out at 46c or something. Though I don't know if that was their true idle temp (low 40s) or not.

 

mine (5793/momentus 7200rpm) idles in the low 40's (44 right this minute), sometimes under sustained load approaches 60. i've seen similar statements elsewhere, seems to be the "norm" for this drive.

 

rofl dude, I get my momentus up to 61-62 on rare occasion, but normal operating temps are around 49-54. 7200 RPM drives run faster and hotter- the price you pay for speed. Don't worry until it hits 60, then try anything you can to cool it off (for me, Fn+1 works very well)

 

yeah you are fine.. i wouldnt worry about it..

 

Thanks, ay I figured it was probably normal for a 7200rpm drive

 

try a 10k rpm drive. my raptor whent up to 75! although thats probably not normall as it soon got fried....litterally. maybe i should have turned on that fan....... sigh...

 

5-55C is normal for a 7200 rpm drive and under load it can go upto ~60C.

 

Mine hovers near 36.Max was 49 in gaming.

 

Check these temps out, using Zalman NC2000.

 

jman did you undervolt your cores? My core 0 idle is always 45c and core 1 idle is 35c, they have never gone below this minimum which is weird to me, I'm not sure if a zalman would even drop them below those mins. Under load they never go much past 50c, sometimes core 1 will go a bit over. My lowest gpu temp was 40 or 41c idle, its usually closer to 44/45 though and right now its 43

 

Nope im at max power 2.6ghz both cores Cores where the same temp when I tried xp as well. One thing I noticed that change alot was the gpu temp in xp was alot higher at idle like 48, now its 37 idle in vista lol.

 

In Vista I had the GPU at 48C, and in XP at ~33C
My hdd temps are usually between 40-45, and under max load, about 55C tops.
It`s a 5400rpm one though, so a 7200rpm would definitely see 1-3C more.

 

No doubt man, Fn+1 is VERY useful, considering the system doesn't monitor the HD temps to determine fan speen- only CPU and GPU...

>>Get a small program called DTemp and run it through start menu startup. It is very small and only runs in the tray. Pretty much the only options are to set two colors- normal and warning- and set the temp at which it changes colors, I got mine set at 60.

 

NHC has that too. I use it mostly as a power setting options, but it has warning threshold for the CPU, GPU and HDD.

 

NHC eh? Never heard of it, I guess I'll have to try it out an see whats up! Thanks for the info.

 

NHC (notebook hardware control) is too old for 5793, 99% of function don't work.

 

Indeed, just found this out. Wont even open for me, says "Error: Could not load the NHC diver" rofl

>>>bugfix version doesn't work either

 

So if it works for my 5791, it`s old ?
You guys should get ahold of yourselves
I don`t use NHC, I use RMClock to manage the CPU temps and HDTune for Hd health and error checking , but NHC worked also.

 

I never said it was old...
But it is too old for the 5793.

 

Got it. There are a lot of differences between the 579x`s , for example HWMonitor doesn`t see my GPU temp,whereas most of the 5793 users can ...

 

strange how just a few minor variances can make such a big difference...

 

I wish the 7950GTX vs the 8800M GTX would be just a "minor" difference, but the fact is that it`s a totally different architecture,it`s like David and Goliath, but this time Goliath(8800M GTX) wins

 

Mein arrived max 63°C. And i just bought it for about 5 months, already 3162h power on time.......

 

You got me there buddy, I only have 2542 hours, since September 12
