HDD Heat

~~Jaymie1989~~ · 05-29-2007, 02:14 AM

Hi,

I am using the Ultiamte Boot Cd and it shows that my HDD temp is 253 on there. What can i do?

Run for cover !!!!! that things gunna blow :)
Some how I know there is an error in there somewhere as I think it is, actually no i know it would be impossible to have a hard drive actually run at 253C, there would be globs of melted stuff everywhere.
Now if it was a typo and you actually meant 53C well you could try installing a fan in the front of your case to blow some cool air across your drive and also create a bit of flow in the case, if you don't have a rear fan sucking hot air out the back that would be a good idea also.
Go the biggest fans you can install, 120mm is ideal

I think the Ul Boot CD shows error your HDD temperature. You can check airflow of case.

Try SensorsView to monitor the temperatures.

I also show a high temperature on my Maxtor when running Sea tools diagnostic software. 254 degrees which I know could not be possible. My other drive shows 49 degrees. I downloaded a HHD temperature monitoring software (Stella SMART) and it shows only 39 degrees. What's up?

What maximum temperature would be a cause for concern?

Nevermind

opinions vary on temps for hard drives but a popular temp to work off is 55C, so if you get around that figure you should be looking at a front fan to blow cool air over your drives

not all h/d give a heat reading
