Yep, for HDD, this kind of temp >50C is bad. I didn't notice you mention drives in the original post. Can you describe or show some pictures of how you have the fans?

Just room temp water is fine, best to use to distilled so it doesn't leave any marks. The point of the water is to lubricate the rubber sealing rings like using butter to get a ring off your finger.
