Default Am I paranoid?

Okay, the red arrows freak me out but I want to make sure if there's nothing to be concerned about, my fan rpms seem a tad high so I think my PC may be getting too hot, I'm naturally paranoid about this stuff and want to make sure that this is normal, is it?

Default Re: Am I paranoid?

It just means it's increasing, nothing more. i.e. if you're suddenly accessing the drive a lot, it'll start to heat up as it's working harder, and thus the arrow will turn red+upwards.

I wouldn't worry about it.. HDs generally require very little maintenance/airflow.. just make sure there's a bit of air moving around it and it'll be happy
