Thanks!
this helps.
Indicates my HD's are running hot, (122°) which I believe. I just installed
case fans to try to bring it down, though I didn't have a reading before
installing, so don't know how much it has helped, if at all. Seems like
normal should be about 110° or so, but my memory might be faulty.
(understatement)..
I suppose I could shut them off and see how much it goes up.
not sure how accurate this prog is.. voltages don't seem to be too accurate,
so hard to fully trust the rest of it.
It's a start anyway, thanks again for the info.
