Negatory, as long as you have a decently ventilated case you should be fine. Most hard drives these days have a temp sensor that can be read with Speedfan or HDtach/HDtune if the sensor indicates a temp that is within the working temp range specified by the manufacturers specs then its all good.

To increase it's lifecycle it is necessary, but not to have it working.

Look at this:
