Acer Aspire 5738 HDD Heats Up

Dex@ter · #1 (**permalink**) 9 Nov 09, 04:21 PM

Hi All,

I got an Acer Aspire 5738 ( C2D 6600 , 4GB RAM and 320 GB HDD) recently and installed Win XP SP3

Everything else running fine but the HDD temp ( i got WD 320GB HDD Scorpio Blue model HDD ).

General temp is around 52 C and goes upto 55 C under load.

My office Dell D630 is only going upto 40C in same environment n Desktop with WD 640 Blue AAKS is showing around 34 C ..

Am kinda worried ( Using HWMonitor 1.14 to check temp )

Since lots of people got this laptop in TE, whats the HDD temp you are getting..
