HD temp- worried?

Speedfan is reporting my HD at 47 even though PC is below a open window and ambiant is 19 degrees. The HD feels warm. Currently defragmenting the HD.

hmm something not right, just put Thermaltake Thunderblade at 7v blasting onto the HD, and still same temp. HD feels lukewarm and is definitely cooler than before, still no change in Speedfan.

Also HD's were around similar temps in my Stacker, perhaps lower 31-41, but not at 21. 21 for yours seems pretty cold.

WD 2500KS. Ambiant is now 17 degrees, HD 48 degrees.

yeah temp sensor looks duff, HD case is cool, and temp still reads 42. Right.
