QUOTE(paynelsg @ Dec 16 2007, 11:08 AM) I think use BT to download for very long time (non stop) may cause HDD to spoil Not if your HDD temperature remains below 40C or slightly above 40C like 41C or 42C.   |

Answered by haneve Added on January 8, 2008, 11:25 am QUOTE(spartacvs @ Dec 26 2007, 11:38 PM) What is the ideal temperature for HDD and is there any programme or software that detects the temperature of the HDD? I think I need to install some fan into my pc as it always heats up pretty quickly. Not a good thing I suppose. Ideal I'd say below 40C. Slightly above 40C around 41C or 42C is still acceptable. Even 45C can be acceptable but not on 24/7 operations I suggest. You can use Everest Ultimate. It'll read every sensor on your motherboard including GC, and HDD Added on January 8, 2008, 11:27 am QUOTE(spartacvs @ Dec 27 2007, 11:01 PM) Hey, thanks for the suggestion and on another note, will installing more fan actually help to cool the hdd? I did that for my uncle's computer and though with six fan installed, of course with the proper air-flow, the hdd just seems to be hot (based on my itchy finger on the physicality of his hdd) and noisy too. Yup, installing fan will surely cool you HDD. Try to provide good airflow and make sure the air is going through your HDD and not by pass it. I'm surprised the heat still rising up even with fans on your system. What HDD are you using?I thought by installing the fan, it should be make it cool even physically but in my uncle's case, it just doesn't seems so.
