Seagate hdd heat problem?

quakebo · 2 Jul 2020 at 23:49

I have a 1tb seagate hdd which is running at 65c now is that to hot for a hdd. If it is to hot could that cause windows 10 to lockup or bsod?

I have just checked and seagate say max temp should be 60c so I best check my fan that cools it down.

I have a antec 900 case and I have 3 hard drives in the cage where hard drives go with a 120mm fan blowing air onto them. I used to have 2 hard drive cages itstalled but had to take one out so I could fit the pump for my custom water cooler for the cpu.

That drive should definitely be running much cooler than 65°c in that configuration. I have 6 drives stacked pretty much on top of each other in an old Antec 1080AMG and with active cooling they max out at 41 degrees.

Even with passive cooling I wouldn't expect a single drive to run any hotter.

How are you monitoring temps?

I was checking temps with hw monitor and HD tune.

I have now cleaned the fan filter and fan and now hd tune says hdd is 30c hw monitor says it is 30c and crystal disk info says it is 30c so will see how it goes.
