What is a safe temperature for my computer to be running at? I have 2 heat sensors. 1 near my processor and 1 on my hard drives.

those temps are fine for the setup you have. I'm assuming these are idling temps, try running some benchmarks or other processor intensive things and see what your CPU gets up to.

is that your temps of your CPU & HDD at idle? (low power/performance state?)

or is that when running full throttle (gaming, or whatever?)

for idle temps, thats really good, right where they should be at... I doubt it, but if thats full bore, thats insanely good for temps...

but if those aren't, what are your peak temps?

HD Temp - 26-28 C
CPU Temp - 26-27 C

Those are the temperatures as of now. I am currently running windows media player, 3 tabs for internet and playing wow. So im definitely multi-tasking. So im assuming thats good temps?
