Wrong, prescott 2.4A comes in FSB533.
No prescott 2.4GHz comes in FSB800

I don't think that's a northwood, i think it's a prescott.
Anyway, why don't you post a CPUz screenie instead?

Ya, that's high. My HDD WD 250Gb runs at 32'c, the other WD 80Gb runs at 37'c. On hot day with active HDD, WD 80Gb can go up to 41-42'C!

Aiyoo.... too long to read la.

Errr.... are you sure HDD will fail if temperature too low. What about those in countries with snowing winters? We're all talking about cooling, are they talking about heater for the HDD??   

Temperature is often quoted as the most important environmental factor affecting disk drive reliability. Previous studies have indicated that temperature deltas as low as 15C can nearly double disk drive failure rates [4]. Here we take temperature readings from the SMART records every few minutes during the entire 9-month window of observation and try to understand the correlation between temperature levels and failure rates.

We have aggregated temperature readings in several different ways, including averages, maximum, fraction of time spent above a given temperature value, number of times a temperature threshold is crossed, and last temperature before failure. Here we report data on averages and note that other aggregation forms have shown similar trends and and therefore suggest the same conclusions.

We first look at the correlation between average temperature during the observation period and failure. Figure4 shows the distribution of drives with average temperature in increments of one degree and the corresponding annualized failure rates. The figure shows that failures do not increase when the average temperature increases. In fact, there is a clear trend showing that lower temperatures are associated with higher failure rates. Only at very high temperatures is there a slight reversal of this trend.

Figure 5 looks at the average temperatures for different age groups. The distributions are in sync with Figure4 showing a mostly flat failure rate at mid-range temperatures and a modest increase at the low end of the temperature distribution. What stands out are the 3 and 4-year old drives, where the trend for higher failures with higher temperature is much more constant and also more pronounced.

AFR=Average Failure Rate

Overall our experiments can confirm previously reported temperature effects only for the high end of our temperature range and especially for older drives. In the lower and middle temperature ranges, higher temperatures are not associated with higher failure rates. This is a fairly surprising result, which could indicate that datacenter or server designers have more freedom than previously thought when setting operating temperatures for equipment that contains disk drives. We can conclude that at moderate temperature ranges it is likely that there are other effects which affect failure rates much more strongly than temperatures do.
