It must have a built in refrigerator.

rite. i'm actually curious of how this is actually happening. b4 i put in the hd cooler, my temps were around 27-29. now, after the hd cooler was put in, it dropped 10 deg. so i don't think it's really a sensor prob

I don't think anyone has suggested that it's a sensor "problem" as much as it's the sensor being fooled somehow.
Abu, this entire thread has almost come to the point where either we simply shrug off the apparent impossibility of your assertions or decide that you are intentionally misleading us.
I for one, would hate to suspect the latter, so I'll continue to afford you credibility, but can you see how awkward this is?
You have a heat producing component that is reading below ambient room ( nevermind case) temp.
Right now my machine is wide open, guts astrew as I mock up my second PSU installation, and the HDD is laying outside the case with a fan blowing directly upon it.
It is reading 3C ABOVE the ambient temp my case sensor is reporting.
This makes sense.
The drive motor creates friction, which creates heat.
The circuitry creates heat.
The fan is blowing room temp air over it and apparently not dissipating all the heat that the HDD is producing, hence the slight elevation in HDD temp.

Where the hell do you suppose all of your heat is going?
Seriously.
You have posted that your HDD is the coldest thing in your case.
If that is true then it's heat is being transferred somewhere else, cause it sure isn't just disappearing.
So, if your HDD is cold, then what has become HOT?

Hey clocker, maybe you've got something there.

Perhaps Abu's temps throughout his system are lower because the HD is absorbing the surrounding heat.

And doing what with it exactly?

Converting it into data?

Hey Abu, you have any large and growing files that you can't explain?

Sending it off into a virtual vortex.

Hello all

System 33C (or room temp I've got alot of fans) Thermallake has high rev fans that are much quieter than Vantech's 3200 rpm range

CPU idle 38- 40
full 48 - 52

My AMd chip starts getting buggy at 60C

which is the the temp it runs at OC'd to 2200mgz

so untill i have cash to get better than stock cooling I'm running at 2056

well guys,I just dropped my hard drive temp to about 7 degrees below room temp.Wooohooo.
All ti took was opening the window that is right next to my computer desk and letting in the -2 degrre celcius air.
Abu,do yuo have a window nearby that is opened slightly. I only opened mine about half and inch and got these results.
CPU temp-33.0
HDD-17.5
mainboard-20.0

Yeah but your room temperature is dropping fast.
