My new install places the Mini in a potentially thermally challenged area so I decided that I'd monitor the temperature using Temperature Monitor.

Unfortunately, the Mini doesn't incoporate a temp sensor on the chip itself. The only temp is in the disk drive, so that's going to have to be my proxy for now.

I was wondering if anyone else has monitored their drive temp and if so, what was it running at? The highest I've seen is 128F. Don't know if that is high or not for the Mini and was looking for some comparison temps.

After 12 hours driving, internal temperature in the car about 23°C (ca 73°F) I got 57°C (ca 135°F) on the Mac mini's sensor. The case was pretty warm, but no problems whatsoever with functionality.

BTW: anyone knows about some open-source temperature monitor? I can't figure out how to access the temperature sensor - the usual IORegistry tricks that work on my PowerBook and other Macs do not work on the mini :-(

Update: Noticed u wanted opensource..apologies.

In any event checked these on the mini..no go except for The freeware Temperature monitor which shows only HDD temp.
