Is this to hot? I think it is because my hard drive is clicking like fook and it's pausing enrything and now my system is starting to crash! Everything was ok until I added another hard drive.
Airflow should be ok because the side panel is always off and I still have 2 mobo fans (cpu etc) and one back fan taking hot air out.

I'd say about 50.
70 is worryingly high imho.
Under load it can go up to 50*C.
Thing is, hard drives may be a different temperature to the rest of the case, maybe it's a good idea to get an intake fan next to the hard drive bays to provide extra cooling?
That's idle(ish).
Low power or
Dodgy drive.
If it's a dodgy drive, you should see messages in the event viewer.
low power would be a bit more tricky to diagnose. What is the power supply rated to?
1x 120 exhaust fan
1x artic cooling vga silencer agp slot fan
1x nexus 'silent' cpu fan
and that's really quiet... but the stock PSU has a frickin 80 fan that makes it tooo noisy. So a new one is in order I think.
Sorry, I'm a geek. Heh.
I guess SATA disks aren't as hard as IDE drives.
I've ran my computer with loads of stuff open before and it's never happened so I don't think it's a swap problem. Besides, this SATA disk is used for storage so it shouldn't be accessing my swap file like that.
Remove and re-seat the SATA cables.
