I just noticed something in speedfan. I let it run for a bit in the background while I worked on my laptop, and I realized the HD is the ONLY thing that's heating up! The processor has been at a solid 108 since I first booted it.

My question, should I choose to upgrade the HD in this machine(I might not bother, I don't know...) what is the coolest running HD around? I don't care about performace, just reliability and no heat. Size wise, I wish to at least match this one, 60G...

woah 108C?!?!:eek:
thats seems high to me. for it to be on idle..

do you have one of those laptop cooling fan pads? maby that will help.
 
LOL, dude, where did I say celsius? If it were 108*C...man it would probably be melting! Use some common sence, the "breaking point" of most AMD processors is 60*F. Besides, do you think I'd be using a laptop that's hot enough to boil water! LOL

That's 108*F, and I think the HD's stablized at 93*F. That's Fahrenheit :P

LOL, now I'm getting mixed up too :P Yes, that is what I meant. I use *F most of the time but I know the breaking point in *C :o

So WD has cool drives? I don't know how their laptop drives are but I know most of their desktop drives are warmer...

As for a cooling pad, I do have one, but it's not very good. There's a fan close to my CPU fan which counter acts it...
