Re CPU temp Check manufacturer's site for specifications And - then consider the temperature difference between the CPU and ambient air temp then redo the calculation in reverse considering the expected summer temperatures!
CPU temp now - air temp ~ heating effect of power used so expected air temp + heating effect ~ expected max temp on a hot summer day Will you need air con for the system, or just to be careful about cooling airflow to the system and removing heated air from the system.

Recap-- can't connect SATA to sata-0 or sata-1 but will work on raid sata-0 & 1. gigabyte say it's a MAXTOR problem. MAXTOR say it's a gigabyte chipset driver - quote "well lets say that they do work most of the time but the code isn't that efficient or tidy and they are not that good". The firmware for my Hdd is the latest (latest is not always the best) and the code on the drive is V111xxxxxxxxx V111 denotes the firmware 'apparently' Not going anywhere with this so I have left it connected to SATA raid -0 and set the jumper on the Hdd to 1.5Mb/Sec instead of 3Mb/Sec. Running like greased lightening - as it should (AMD 64 3400+ 1Gb dual channel RAM) Temp of CPU is around 40 deg C +/- 5deg. Is this Ok? Stock CPU HS+fan. 480W PWR with 2 x fans auto speed controlled.
