Is my pc drive temperature too high? I have no idea, please help. My main drive is at around 57 Celsius, i have 2 other active internal drives, they are averaging around 45 Celsius.

I need to trust my instincts, should have not listened to that guy.... Good thing i avoided opening the box huh? Thanks for letting me know.

So at Best Buy, they only had this enclosure labelled "PATA", no mention of SATA on it, or IDE. I asked the staff if it's compatible with a SATA hard drive and he said it is, but not in a way that makes me believe him. I looked up some stuff online, SATA is more recent technology, PATA is older...

OK, found one that describes a problem with a tv capture card. Should I bother removing the driver on the tv card?

So wait, my pc is overheating? That's a bit of a surprise, since this has not been generally an issue. That one once today made me think 2ce though, since it came out of nowhere. The other guys that happened recently were due to me being careless and running too much stuff. Sure, i'll grab the...

Yes. It's a tv card, i remember now. I had my friend install one under the assumption i'd have need for it when connecting a console to it. That's never happened, and i know i don't use it for that. Nothing is plugged into the back of it. Want me to take a photo of it anyway? You guys are fast...

I am trying to add a PCI card to increase the number of usb ports. I have it and am ready to put it place, but i have a couple cards there already, and there's no more space. I'm pretty sure one of them is a sound card that i have stuff plugged into and use. I'm not sure what the other one is...
