is it safe for the hd to run at 14c? How do the other things look?
Thanks
Vic

I suspect there may be inaccuracy in that temperature reading, unless the ambient temperature is subzero.

15C is ~59F. That seems suspect unless your room temp is 55F or less.

it's drawing in air from out side the hd is 9c now. It's 17f outside right now. getting kinda close to freezing, not sure if it's safe. moving intake tube away.
What temp would you guys stop at?

From the
manualfor this <Seagate - not Toshiba> drive: 5° to 55°C Ambient temperature.
Frost would definately be a bad thing to have in your PC - esp after it melts.
