That's too hot...

I cool mine with an 80mm Lian Li fan, and it's in a Lian Li hard drive bay.

About 36C.

this will tell you what temp your hard drive is.

Note that most 7200RPM hard drives aren't supposed to go past 55C really.

as long as you move some air over it it should be fine, just dont wrap it in insulation or anything
