I have recently build a new rig . I have 2 HDD's Western digital 320gb + seagate 250 gb bth sata . My question when i check my HDD temperature using softwares like speedfan or everest home , the hdd temperature for both drives is around 48c . Is it ok , since the ambient and mobo temp is around 30c . I installed a 90mm fan blowing fresh air inside but tem of hdd has decrased by just 2c so now it is around 44-46c .
 
Anything below 45 is quite ok. By the way i am in chennai and the normal room temperature is around 28-32 degrees. My HDD temperature is around 40 and it runs without a problem.

Try using AC whenever you play to keep the temperature down. You could not do much to bring the temperature below 35 degress

18C above ambient is way too high. Which cabinet do you have?

I use zebronics Lava cabi which is cheap but modified to add 3 extra fans... Chennai is a hot place dude and even if you run AC you cannot achieve the HDD to run less than 32 degress
 
48C is indeed high. Try to cool them by running a 120mm fan in front or at the rear of the HDD's.

Ideally they should be run under 40C for longevity.

I am using a cheap intex ( nova n) cabinet . I installed a 90mm local fan and hdd temperature dropped from 50-47 on load . Can i get a good fan around 200-250 bucks . Also my cooler master psu throws out hot air from the cabinet .
Rest of my rig runs just fine , mobo around 28c and cpu a 40c but i dont understand the reason for high hdd temsps , can it be a hardware problem ?
