Good tips. Should help out others. 
My 5000+ came with a junky aluminum heatsink. When I found I was doing everything right (don't put the AS5 on like peanut butter, make sure it's seated good, watch airflow, etc.) and the heatsink still just wasn't cutting it (which is sad seeing as I didn't even overclock), I got a Freezer 64 Pro, recommended by a friend. Haven't had my computer beep at me once since then.
As for my hard drives, they've never, ever gone above 110F. And usually they stay at 95F. They're a pair of Seagates but I wouldn't recommend them after getting burned by some dying drives lately. I'd actually like to get one of those Samsung drives.
