i got this freeware program called speedfan and it masures your temp and fan speeds...it says my harddrive is 129F ...its supposed to be around 95-115F  any ideas....i already read the other topics about computers temp but i cant seem to get the temp. to go down...and its my harddrive temp. not my cpu. 

thanks in advance.

It depends on what brand and which type of harddrive it is, it's known that Maxtor drives for example run hot, around that temperature you mentioned, especially with no airflow around it. If you want to reduce the temperature, just point a fan at it.

it doesnt have to because the fan is dead. and its time to go from the stock cooler to a better one.

Note to self: Don't post on testmy.net at 1 am. At least I'm never drunk when posting, or this could be a bit worse.

Doesn't have to be a new heatsink, you problably only need to reapply some thermal paste (Arctic Silver 5 is one of the best) between the cpu and heatsink.

So trolls are allergic to cats then! "

Used to be.

So where did you hide the catnip? I was wanting a snack to go with my mixed drink. 

Somewhere... you'll never find it. It can be anywhere on the Earth.

A forum cat, just what we needed.

hey there, I don't take it off topic I'm merely wearing a low cut sequined dress with fance new shoes

That's enough to take one off-topic, don't you think?

Whereever water goes, a long thread ensues. In other words, she's the off-topic queen.

hmm, now what title should I try for...

I'll vote for: "I'm all broken."

Done.

Hey shug... giving up? Having double your output makes the race a bit boring.

clicky for proof.

Mwhahahaa... *cough* 

Daiquirii: Nice bug. I run the command prompt version so that never happens to me

I don't really care what's on tv or radio here, watched a bit of snooker yesterday and I have a single internet radio channel I listen to and that's it. Plenty of untainted entertainment on the net.

Prepare to get your ass kicked. And I don't mean by SM.

This X2 3800+ is capable of running at the same speed as my 'old' 3200+, but with twice the amount of cores and thus twice the amount of Ghz. You weren't catching up with just two processors folding, now it's becoming three.

Whatever.

The secret weapon has arrived and is currently undergoing testing. Now's the time to quit dreaming about catching up on me shug, because it'll never happen.

Well I just started my new pc on it.. and you wont be hard to pass. It took me 107 WU to get to almost 21000 and took YOU 260 to get to 55000. So with my new computer along with my 5 stone agers... well your green ass is mine.. WOMAN.. HAHA.

Quite a few of them were lousy 43 point WU which took forever. And I'll be bringing a secret weapon soon, that will desintegrate any chance of you passing me.

It's quality, not quantity that nets the most points. Even an army of ancient pentiums won't be enough.

Check the stats, currently I'm the second highest on the point/week list. You, with your 200 - 250 points/week, won't ever catch up. And that's just two computers folding

You ain't getting past me.

Most likley he wants you to write your opinion on new stuff that has come out wheather you have used it or not. What you think of it and what it might be like, or what you like/ dislike about the product/ what ever else it may be.

Actually, this is about news articles, not the type of subjective articles that are so common on the Inquirer for example.

We're not all in the US though... this place is international

There's already a subforum for that, and it's rather quiet.

Seen it. Microsoft denied it of course, and apparantly nothing happened.
