I have recently purchased a new G41-V max. I installed HW monitor and it appears that the hard drive easily reaches 52-54 C with ambient temperature 20 C and with the minix being not obstructed in any way (temps are being reached a few minutes after startup without any excessive workload). The minix is working perfectly though. Are these temperatures normal for this unit ? Should they pose any concern (i bought the machine as i do need silent operation).

Thank you !

I installed a Samsung 860 M2 sata III 500 GB and apart from the noticeable increase of disk performance, it appears that the operation temp of this SSD is about 46 C which is significantly less than 54 C of previous (both under normal operation at ambient temp of 20 C). My intention is to have the SSD cover removed on permanent basis and install a heatsink in view of summer coming with expected ambient temp even close to 35 C mid summer. Is there any suggestion on the heatsink to use ? Any thoughts ?
