Thanks Charles, I believe my 50+C temps might be bogus. Even after
shutting down for several minutes, then checking immediately after
boot with little HDD activity, the temp is still 55 to 60C for that
one drive of mine, the other is 23C (room temp).
OTOH, don't you heat your house? ;) 18C is 64F, maybe you've got
the box outside in the snow? ;>
I'm beginin to wonder how trustworthy this utility is.
