    It's about 70F in my room right now.

    I have WoW running and Firefox open typing on here.

    ACPI: 65c
    Core0: 58c
    Core1: 58c
    9800GT: 71c
    HDD: 63c


    These numbers are like 10-20c higher than other people's... WTH?

    just wondering, have you set your HDD options to prevent it from constantly spinning up?

    Like disabling:
    - Drive Indexing service
    - Windows sidebar
    - Auto Defrag
    - System Restore
    - Volume Shadow Copy (Volume Snapshot Service or VSS)
    - Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider service
    - AntiVirus / Spyware suites

    even when its shut off?.... from idling setting in Power Options

    I think only a select number of people have this HDD heat issue... since a number of M860TU owners have been chatting with me through PM's and email were telling me their impressions and asking some questions about other things like undervolting.
