    My harddrive is running at 55 degrees C after playing a little bit of Last Remnant. Is this too hot? (I'm running on stock settings, assuming that the harddrive is the hitachi)

    Also, I have that bump right above where the touchpad is where the plastic is a bit warped... makes it look like my keyboard has sunk down where the spacebar is...

    Mine runs at the exact speed and I have the hitachi and a 500gb scorpio blue. The scorpio runs about 45c while the hitachi does run a little hot (49c right now). And my touchpad is a little warped.

    My P-7801u HDD was averaging 50 degrees C before I sent it in for an overheating HDD. I got it back with a new HDD and it still averages 50 degrees C. I prop my whole computer up 1 cm with 4 erasers used as washers, so it isn't the ventilation. But you know what, the HDD still works despite these high temps, so I wouldn't bother worrying about it.

    What's funny is that my ACPI, GPU, and CPU's temperature never exceeds my HDD temp at all times.

    I just bought a WD scorpio black for the other bay, gonna test out the new HD temp and then decide what I want to do from there. The warping bothers me, Im afraid its gonna hit the screen when I close it lol.
