Hot HDD

hey everyone, I am using speed fan and it seem that my HDD temp is a little hot or at least that is what I gather since it has a flame next to it. It is usually around 53 C at normal use such as web browesing, listening to music, downloading music. Is this hot for the 5790? if so is there anything I can do to get it lower ( I do have a zalman cooler coming but won't take it with me when i travel so i won't always have it.)
other current temps core 1:17 C
core 2:17 C
temp 1( I take it this is the GPU temp): 40 C

 

What HDD do you have?

 

160GB Seagate Momentus

 

my seagate momentus in my 5790 runs from 45-60C on load, depending on the room temperature, you're fine buddy

GPU temp is good...from my oberservations...the 7950gtx runs about 45-5x V while gaming, pretty cool for a GPU.

as for the CPU, I get around 5x-6x C on idle/load, depending on the room temperature.

 

thank you very much! Are the temp for the CPU cores wrong since they are so low?

 

nope, the cooler the better.

 

Alright, Thank you lawlz...

 

I'm using the same HDD and it's 57C as I'm typing right now, so I think its normal since the my notebook runs a little hotter than regular notebooks due to the conroe cpu.

 

I also have the 160GB Seagate Momentus. Im at 53c here on battery power just surfing the web. Last night I transfered some large files over wireless (56mins) and it hit 55c

 

My 160 Gb Seagate 7200rpm idles at 55c, and right now it is hitting 62/63c while i´m transfering (via usb) some backup files from an external hdd... i have to admit that i´m a little worried about this temps!!!

 

i have the wd scorpio in mine the 250gb one.. and man the right palmrest gets super hot from it.. i think im going to swap it out for a different drive soon

 

160 Gb Seagate 7200rpm idles at 45c on load i hit 63 once...

And 7950 gtx can take 90º with High OC and no cooling base

 

I have a D901C which shipped with the 160gb seagate momentus 7200.2 drive. It was consistently running in the mid 50C range peaking at 60C-61C when doing video encoding. I recently obtained the 200gb 7200.2 seagate and swapped the 160 gb out. The 200gb drive runs 30C at low workloads and 42C under heavy workloads. The 160gb drive never failed but it definately raised the temp of the system. Why the 160gb momentus runs so hot is a mystery, but if temps are critical for your machine I would not reccommend it.

 

For what I´ve seen and compared, I think that Hitachi´s drivers are cooler then Seagate´s ones(on 7200RPMs drives), with similary performance in it´s class.

On the performance matter, higher temperatures mean throttling or slowdowns, because that drives have temperature management systems...

Mine Hitachi 200GB 7200rpms drive never gets more than 53/54ºC on high hdd demanding tasks... it´s realy cool, I can´t even feel the heat on the palmrest hdd zone.

 

Well, we have the same hdd...so, any explanations for my temps? - 55c(well, now it´s at 50)/idle 62c/heavy load - temperatures measured with rivatuner and hdtune...
