Surely HD temps come from the HD, not from the mobo?

Yeah but usually your sensor goes over the mobo, I thought, like on PC-Alert haven&#39;t tried his proggie though. [/b][/quote]
You can get external sensors which you tape to the equipment of your choice, and then you have to label them yourself. But the latest drives have internal temp sensors which are read through the IDE port, I believe as part of the SMART technology. I am assuming this is the type leonidas has, but I can&#39;t be sure.

I have a seagate 120 Gb. I buyed it 7 months ago. So I guess it has this internal temp sensors you&#39;re talkin about

I think I&#39;ll buy a surge protector as soon as possible.


Thanks for all your help
