Hey All, Ok, I have decided to get a 250GB hard drive for my M90, I know it need to be sata, but other than that which is the best drive to get. I see a few companies make this size drive, and I assume I do not want any that say they...

Can anyone else with this card give me an idea of what temps they see on the card, both on idle and under load, trying to decide if mine is getting too hot. I recently replaced the hard crusty dried out dell paste with some OCZ Ultra 5+...
