HDD is a bit warm but probably OK. CPU is fine at those temps.
What make of HDD do you have?

Hard drive is very high. Hard drive failures are much more likely the hotter a hard drive gets. A hard drive under 50* C will be happy.

While I agree that the hdd temp is way to high, reading that report on failing drives a couple weeks/months back gave me the insight that temperature if the smallest factor playing in early failures. I don't know how true that is, but if you go by their findings, his temps should not be the biggest thing in determining the life of his drive as other aspects.
