Looks like the only option. I don't have much time for 2 - 3 weeks. Can run pc on these temps?So u already know what the prob is, the HD needs better ventilation. Am afraid u have to go beyond what the case vendor gave you and make the necessary modification. Hole(s) in front of the HD (got an unused drive bay u can remove the cover?) and lastly another fan in front or rear of the HD.
