Hi, I have a Seagate Barracuda ST3320620AS 7200RPM drive in my system, and my case has pretty bad airflow, it doesn't support a front intake fan to cool the drives, only a side intake and an exhaust. I recently installed a graphics card, which has increased the temps for everything considerably.
I noticed that my HDD is now running hotter than it used to.
It used to run at about 45C, but now after the computer has been on for a bit, just web browsing basically, it is now touching 59C if I don't put my desk fan on the side to cool it. Even with that it is still running at 54C. Is the 59C something I need to worry about? Will it decrease the MBTF or is it built to run that hot?
Thanks in advance.
