    Hard drive temps

    Hi everyone!
    I was just wondering what are normal temps for IDE hard drives after the computer has been running a while? My drives run at around 102F according to Everest. Is this normal?

    This is the nice thing about being able to fit a fan right in the drive bay (and these temps are higher than normal, it's hot here today)

    120 intake fan

    ps (Chassis 1455 RPM) has a 140

    They do the trick for me.

    My two are at 90F and 88F, not too bad, as Nick said it has been a scorcher here today, for a change.
