    I just installed NHC on my new inspiron. I put it at max performance for about 3 minutes, but when i put it back down it said my hard disk is to hot. I put it back to dynamic switch and it was still hot. and now it is on max battery and it is still hot. it is 55* C. is that normal?

    I don't think that is a good temperature. I ususally get 32-37 C and I haven't seen anyone's get that high. Try using I8Kfan and adjust the fan speeds.

    The fan won't help the hard drive too terribly. 55 isn't horrible for a hard drive, but it isn't great. Keep an eye on those temps and you can switch the temp that the alarm pops up.

    For some reason my NHC won't even give a temperature for my HDD at all...

    i used i8kfan to turn the fans on and it cooled my cpu significantly, but my hd stayed at 55. I have a 60 7200 rpm hd. does that matter?

    actually my hd is staying cool now, but when dynamic switch puts my cpu on 1.6 my cpu heats up really fast(48+). I think one of those fan squares for underneath is the only thing that will help me.

    I could be wrong, but I believe that hd temps don't show up if you have multiple hard drives... I have a hp dv8000t (2x80gb hd) and the hd temps don't show up, while everything else does.
