|  Component cooling question? This is more like a survey but still is a question. What do you say the best temps for keeping components are? This is for a temp/fan controller I have and would just like to get the experts input on this. Example- the hard drive, I don't want it to get too hot but yet I don't want a fan running on it all the time. Hdd safe operating temps- between ? and ? Cpu safe operating temps- Chipset safe operating temps- Case safe operating temps- Power supply safe op temps- |

 | Well I can say for CPU's that you don't want to get above 80C, and it is safer to even be under 75C.

| 30-40c for hard drive. 40-50C idle no more than 65-70 under load

CPU's shouldn't be getting above 60C with MAYBE the exception of a prescott CPU...no way in **** should it get even remotely close to 75C muchless 80C.....GPUs yeah...CPUs no. a 3700+ SD should be staying in the 50's..70C full load is STILL way too hot. | |
