ok, so it runs cool and your case is cool, thats awesome.. but sounds like it still never has time to rest and thats the only reason I can think of unless it's defective.. but I learn everything from my own personal screw ups and have cooked a couple of WDC 7200's in my time thats why I have a fan pointed dead on my OS drive.
is it covered under warrentie? you may want to get your files off it and RMA if it is.
This may be a shot in the dark but try Spin rite if you have a copy laying around.
