So, I've got an update...

Most of the time my HD temperature stays at around 49C - 53C (max is 60C I think). It should be slightly lower I guess but this isn't too bad.

My CPU temp is what causes me headaches! Its usually around 55C - 65C. If I'm doing anything remotely processor intensive then it goes upto 78C and the process starts to stutter. For example, I was playing counter-strike and it played fine for about 10 minutes after which the processor temp hits 78C and the game started slowing down.
