How hot is too hot? (in the computer)
Since I've installed SpeedFan 4.45, I've noticed the CPU and hard drive temperatures will range from 90F - 133F. More typically it's 115F - 133F.
Should I be concerned with those temperatures?

How do I know if my computer is overheating? Processors — How do I know if my computer is overheating?
Intel® processors have built-in thermal protection. If the processor gets too hot, the built-in protection shuts down the computer. If your computer is not over-clocked and is running under the design specifications, the built-protection can help prevent damage to your system.
There's nothing wrong with 90 or even 115 but not knowing the circumstances of the test, it's a little hard to call those temps out of range. What was running? With Windows 7, there's no such thing as an "idle" processor any more. Also, your specs say an SSD. How are you getting a temp for an HDD? If that's the SSD temp, I'd change to HWiNFO64 and see what it says. SSDs don't have temp sensors.
Usually anything below 70 degrees Celsius (185F) is considered in the green area. But that is at maximum load. At idle, 40C (104F) is more typical.
when you boot the pc you can boot into the bios settings and see the true temp How to check CPU temperature - CPU temperature Software, Reasons for Overheating CPU link >>> How to check CPU temperature - CPU temperature Software, Reasons for Overheating CPU
i also use this program to monitor cpu temp PC-Wizard ftp://ftp.cpuid.com/pc-wizard/pc-wiz....961-setup.exe
What is PC-Wizard
Since 1996 PC WIZARD is among the most advanced system information programs on the market. PC WIZARD is a powerful utility designed especially for detection of hardware, but also some more analysis. It's able to identify a large scale of system components and supports the latest technologies and standards. This tool is periodically updated (usually once per month) in order to provide most accurate results. PC WIZARD is also an utility designed to analyze and benchmark your computer system. It can analyze and benchmark many kinds of hardware, such as CPU performance, Cache performance, RAM performance, Hard Disk performance, CD/DVD-ROM performance, Removable/FLASH Media performance, Video performance, MP3 compression performance.
