Andy:


I would advise as Kalim has stated and add a high RPM case fan as close as possible to blow fresh air from outside the case into and accros your drives.


That 46C PSU temp is a major RED flag. A 430 watt PSU is too underpowered for your rig and as a result it is making alot of unecessary heat, eventually that much heat will make it blow. When it blows hopefully it wont kill other components!

I highly suggest you look on newegg.com for the Antec Trio Rail 550 watt PSU they are running about $85.00 now its bigger brother the Trio 650 watt is even better at around $110.00

those units wont be put under the strain your current unit is and therefore temps will improve also.

sell off your old unit on ebay to sweeten the pot.

FYI the max hard drive temp is 50C your temps although not max; are rather high they should be around the same as your motherboard temp or 35C

You have a very NICE case >>>> you should have a case fan at each loaction that will take one! the fan locations at the front bring in fresh air; fan loactions at rear of computer exuast hot air, the side fan should be moving air into the case also.


good-luck
