Hello, so I have five hard drives in my case at the moment and the the two at the top are rather hot for my liking or is this normal?

so the drive at the bottom of my case is 34C and the drive at the top of my case is 45C

if you could let me know if this is to hot. I was thinking of getting extra fans but not sure if they will help as they will not be near my drives
 


He doesn't need that, the Phantom 530 has a pivot fan on the rear of the hard drive cage. It can take a 120mm or 140mm fan. All he needs is a fan.

But all this "he needs this" is assuming that he needs to keep his drives cooler. I'd say they're fine. Mine ran at about 40C and they had no issues at all for three years. I sold it to a local guy and he hasn't had any problems with it.
