Hard Disk Hot

[Sizewell]

Hi,
In this hot weather, I am getting notifications of hard disk (Seagate barracuda 2Gb) being hot by Hard Disk Sentinel Pro at 43-44c whilst playing games.
The rest of my system is nice and cool. It is not because of dust as I regularly clean the PC and gave it a clean out yesterday.
Any ideas?

Apologies for some of the spec in French, I live in France, but bought the PC from PCS beginning this year.

I’d open up the side panel and have a look inside, all the residual cable lengths often get crammed into the same area as the HDD tray when systems are being put together. Yours may just be surrounded by a lot of wires, impeding any chance of it staying cool.

There was quite a lot of cabling tucked in the bay under my HDD, I have cleared it out of the way but it has not made much difference, maybe 1 deg or so.
