I knew my hard drives always kinda ran hot, but I wanted to know how hot so I downloaded a program called speedfan. When I turned on my computer about 2 houres ago all HD temps were at 72-74 degrees F. Hd 0 is currently running at 115 F, 46 C. Both HD 1 and HD 2 are running at 118 F, 48 C. Processors run at these temps. So do I have a serious problem.

Actually.... no those are high.... I'd like to see them get down to about 40C.... preferably lower.

How many fans do you have in your case, and what sizes are they? (exclude the CPU, power supply and video card fans.

The computer came with 1 fan on the powersuppply and thats all there is. Its a 12 cm fan. I havent been at the computer for about 3 hours and they have increased each by about 2-3 degrees celcius.
