Ok, Richardc2000,
Specs on this HD say 5-55C is the operating range. With the case cover on it's running 53-54, so I guess that's all I can do with this case configuration. The input filter is clean and the exhaust fan is clean.
I had a Maxtor fail not long ago that I had in an external usb case with poor ventillation. This hot running Maxtor 250 is new and mabye it just runs hot. But, one thing sure is I'm backing it up, just in case!!!
I still am wondering what those SMBus sensors are that SpeedFan "sees" that show 127C. Maybe it's something that isn't actually implimented or readable by SpeedFan. Or perhaps simply peculiar to this mobo. I've seen a few remote references to this problem, but nothing specific on a couple Googled sites.
