Mac Mini Temperature Normal? 83c?

Installed iStat Pro, awesome widget. Is 82-83C (184F) CPU temp normal while importing 10,000 Photos in iPhoto, Running iTunes, and Safari? What is normal temp for the 1.83Ghz Core 2 duo and for the 2.0Ghz Core 2 duo?

Are you doing all three of those things at the same time -- or each separately?
Those temps are higher than I'd like to see on a regular basis. I'd make sure Mini has plently of free access to room-temperature air, and isn't enclosed, or sitting on or near other heat-producing equipment.
The Core2Duo Minis seem to be more prone to warming up and speeding up their fans when they don't get enough cooling air from their environment.

  • Mac Mini temperature

    My Mac Mini has a temperature of 83 F when I boot it up (after being off all night). I try to use eclipse to check out a module from CVS and temperature goes up to 94 F and shuts off -always. I have not being able to check out my module successfully.
    The temperatures taken are from a program called Temperature Monitor (version 4.3, I believe). After 10 minutes, I turn it back on, and temperature is 95-96 F. The fan seems to be running fine. Before turning itself off, it starts making a lot of noise.
    Are these temperatures too high and shutting off my mac mini? If so, any idea why is it overheating? I don't know what to do. It is off warranty.

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    I just woke my PPC mini from sleep, and the temp showed 75ºF and after a few minutes of light work, temp was up to 80.5º F.
    How long does it take for the temps to go to 94º F?
    Have you looked at your activity monitor (on your hard disk in applications/utilities) to see if anything is running that takes up 50% to 100% of the processor? Do you have any print programs that failed to complete (OS X can try and reprint, which can drive processor load)?
    You might want to run the Apple hardware test. Do you have the OS X DVDs that came with your system? Find the one that says on the label in small print 'AHT Version x.x'. Insert it and reboot holding the alt/option key down. Choose the Apple hardware test, click the arrow pointing to the right, and follow directions. Does it identify any issues? If you have one of the TechTool programs, they can do the same testing too.

  • Mac Mini i5 2.3 too hot?

    Hi Everyone,
    I've been reading information about the temperatures people are seeing from the Mac Mini i5 2.5 and i7.
    I've recently purchased an i5 2.3 Mac Mini this month. I'm concerned that this is too hot. I'm not really using anything intensive. Mainly browsing, icloud services, Facetime, MSN, Skype.
    Using iStat 3.18, I get the folloiwng figures:
    Airport Card     53 degrees C
    Ambient          60
    Ambient 2       56
    CPU 1            94
    CPU A            88
    CPU Promixmity   79
    Mem Bank A1      62
    Mem Module A1   60
    Mem Module B4   50
    Power Supply       54
    That looks very hot. I don't particularly hear the fan but I can see the rpm is 2183rpm.
    In fact - here is a piccy from the Photo Stream.

    Hi, yes this is a Lion machine. I think that is my main concern as well.
    The machine ran very hot and no fans kicked in which either means that my temperature monitoring software was incorrect or the Mac stood for awhile cooking without the fans kicking in. I fear it is the latter.
    I understand about cooling (being one of the unlucky ones who had a broken liquid cooled quad 2.5 Power Mac) and only installed the Mac Mini temperature monitor when I became concerned that the mac was running way to hot. During the days I've owned the mini, this was majorly different. I also have a quad core Intel Mac Pro in the same room to compare it to.
    Then I saw the temps and felt the heat from the back vent. I knew this wasn't normal. It was running at this heat without anything open or any underlying system operations running in the background.
    I've decided to phone Apple. I'll see how the Mac Mini fairs but I don't like the thought of it cooking at 94C for so long.

  • Please help. Can no longer connect to my Mac Mini Server

    Up until two days ago, my iMacs were connecting to my Mac Mini Server normally. All of a sudden I could no longer transfer files without being prompted to type my password. Enter password and nothing happened, then got an error message stating that I don't have permission to do that. Now, a day later, no acces to my server. Has anyone ever experienced this? Can anyone please help? I've read the Mac mini booklet but doesn't have any troubleshooting info. Thanks in advance.

    Hello MrHoffman,
    Thank you for the advice. I went into Terminal first and typed in your command and this is what resulted:

  • 2011 i5 Mac mini no startup screen, but computer starts fine...

    I just got a new Mac mini MC815 i5 2.3 Ghz a few monrhs ago, and I added 8 GB of RAM and a 750GB 7200 HD then did a fresh install of Lion 10.7.4 a few weeks ago. When I use the Mac mini on any normal 24" Acer PC LCD via HDMI to DVI adaptor or Thunderbolt/Display port to VGA adaptor the Mac mini boots normal. I see the Apple logo and and spinning wheel for about 35-40 seconds and then see the desktop like normal.
    As long as I use the mini on a PC LCD panel, there is no problem. When I try to connect the mini to a 32" or 42" television via direct HDMI cable... the colors are all screwed up. I see the apple boot logo, but it is green instead of grey. I tried 2 different TVs and 2 different HDMI cables. Both TVs are 1080p capable and work fine with Windows 7 PCs over HDMI or VGA at 1920x1080@60 or lower. The TVs have 2 HDMI inputs and 2 VGA inputs, so I have to use the VGA adapter. (can't use DVI)
    I used the Thunderbolt/Display port to VGA adaptor and the colors are fine. All resolutions work, but I nomrally use 1280x720@60 so I can see the icons better from across the living room. Anyhow everything works perfectly with VGA, except there is no startup screen or logo and it takes a long time to boot after the chime. The TVs are blank and say "No Signal". I timed it with my watch on several occasions and it takes between 90 seconds to 2.5 minutes to boot to the desktop, but the TV says no signal while it is waiting. After the desktop finally comes up, all is well.
    I tried 1920x1080, 1280x720, 1366x768... still the same problem. Slow boot, no bootup screen or logo but after boot is finished, everything shows on the TV and fits in the frame (no underscan problems) and the color is normal. The computer is fast and responsive. If connect the mini to a normal 24 inch Acer LCD to VGA I see the logo and it boots in 35-40 seconds.
    Any ideas here? Do you think the mini is displaying the startup screen at an unsupported resolution and that is why the TV is blank? After the boot sequence, it finds the proper refresh rate or size then finally shows up? Or do I have 2 bad TVs? Or 2 bad Thunderbolt/Display port to VGA adaptors?
    When I hook my 2011 2.3 GHz Macbook Pro (same 8GB RAM and 750GB HD upgrade on it too) to the Thunderbold/Display port to VGA, I don't have this problem at all. When I turn on the Macbook Pro, the Macbook screen shows the grey logo and the TV shows a grey screen until it is fully booted. However, the Macbook Pro also cannot use the Thunderbolt/display port to HDMI adapters either, the colors are usually green.
    Anyone else have this problem with their 2011 Mac minis? I want to solve this problem before I buy a second mini for the bedroom TV. When I use my Windows 7 PCs via HDMI or VGA, I have never experienced these problems.

    First -254 which happens right away. From googling a bit I've discovered this may have to do with having chosen the drive as opposed to the volume as source/target.
    So selecting these (but being confused as to how the recovery partition could be included in the restore if I choose only the boot volume and not the boot drive) the restore began. However it stopped after a few minutes complaining about an "input/output error". No further information given.
    Sorry, my instructions may have been too vague. Yes, when you boot into the Recovery HD on your internal HD and use the Disk Utility Restore you need to specify the Source and Destination as a volume (e.g. Macintosh HD). Don't select the drive. And make sure the SSD is formated correctly.
    With Disk Utility's Restore it does a block level copy so it's like creating an "image" in the PC world (e.g. Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image). This means you get ALL visible and hidden partitions copied over and bootable. With CCC you get a bootable clone of your OS/Apps/Data, but you can't boot to a Recovery HD on that clone. There is none. So, when you clone back to an internal drive, CCC has the Disk Center feature to create a Recovery HD on your internal drive. Disk Utility's Restore, however, clones both OS/Apps/Data and the Recovery HD to your internal drive without having to execute a 2nd step.
    Which Intel 520 Series SSD did you install? I have an Intel 520 Series 120GB SSD installed in my Mac Mini in the bottom slot (closest to the bottom opening) and my stock 500GB HDD in the upper slot (in the drive bracket).

  • My fw800 running 10.5.8 will not migrate to new Mac Mini running snow leop

    My install of snow leopard on the Mac Mini was normal. But I can not successfully migrate my 10.5 stuff to the new mini. I have gone through the migration process at least 10 times. It appears to be running normally but it never finishes. It starts at about 6 hours and gets down to about 2 hours. It sometimes just quits. Sometimes it starts counting back to a longer time left. Some times you get a warning that there might be a problem with my network and to check my cables. I don't believe that after transferring data for 4 hours my cables are bad. The 360 GHz disk on my Mac mini has only 76 GHz left. I have to assume that must have 200GHz of partial transfer garbage on the disk. My only thought is to try firewire instead of using the network but I have to go buy the correct cable tomorrow. I am probably stuck with reloading the 10.6 in any case. Anyone have any thoughts on my messy problem??

    As my Mac mini HD was garbaged up, I put in the snow leopard install CD, used disk util to wipe the mini HD and reinstalled snow leopard. After the install the first couple of windows ask if you want to import your old data. I chose wireless, connected to my old FW800. The complete transfer took an hour including all applications. I was not about to start from square one with all of the apps. Using the network to transfer did not work. The wireless method worked perfectly and quickly. Thanks Bob

  • Mac Mini stuck at boot after upgrading to Yosimite

    Hi All,
    I am using mac Mini late 2012 model with 4 gb ram. I have recently upgraded to OSX Yosimite.
    But now I am facing issue with it.
    My Mac stops at boot. With Apple logo, grey/white screen and progree bar with 0% progress.
    If I keep it as it is for some time, Mac mini temperature rises and i feel the heat while touching the mac mini. And still progress bar show 0% progress.
    But when I switch it off with the help of power button and restart it, it works fine.
    This happen every now and then. I have only monitor, Bluetooth mouse, wired keyboard and LAN cable attached to it. (WIFI stops working after upgrading to OSX now there is no wifi icon in system preferences or in task bar )
    I have tried clean install also. But no success.
    Please suggest why it stops at 0% progress bar. This is working fine before upgrading.
    Regards
    Siddharth

  • Macbook Pro or Mac Mini for Logic Pro X

    Hi I currently have a Mid 2011 Macbook Pro 13' with 16GB 1600Mhz RAM and a 500GB Hybrid Solid State Drive. I use Logic Pro X heavily to the point where I get crazy CPU spikes and cant work with Logic Pro smoothly anymore. (Note: I only have around almost 20 tracks and I get these spikes, I've been doing much research to reduce this but still no luck.) I can't work with freezing tracks as well due to the Logic Pro X bug that unfreezes all the frozen tracks when pressing CMD+Z. Now I really think I need to upgrade my mac. I'd want to save as much money as I can so I was thinking of the 2.3Ghz quad core i7 Mac Mini?
    What difference does the regular Mac mini make with the mac mini with the OSX Server? Do you think the $799 mac mini, when paired with a 16GB 1600Mhz ram and a 7200rpm HD work wonders for me in my music dream? Should I still go for the macbook pros. As far as portability, I think both are portable and I won't have any problem with both. When it comes to the screen, and keyboard and mouse, I have no problem in buying them individually. All I really care about is if it could handle what I want it to do at the cheapest price possible. I can't move away from the mac beacause Logic Pro X is pulling my leg.
    If you guys have any recommendations please feel free to comment.
    Thank you very much

    Ok.. a few points..
    A Mac Mini is really much the same as a Macbook Pro without the screen and keyboard..  but for a lot less money...
    The Mac Mini Server version is identical to the standard Mac Mini with OS X but on the system disk is the Server App which you must run to activate the server functionality. Dont run the server app and the Mac Mini Server is just a mac Mini running normal OS X
    Instead of freezing tracks.. have you tried Bounce in place... ?
    Overloads can often occur due to using internal audio or... the Audio interface you are using and its (poor quality) drivers.. Are you using one? if so, which>
    If you are getting overloads with that Macbook Pro then a recent Mac Mini will probably not improve the situation for you... The fact you are getting overloads could be how you are using Logic.. what plugins you are using.. what else is running ion the Mac and so on.. What processor does your MBP have. The newer Mac Minis can have faster more powerful  i7 quad cores which effectivelky gives you 8 cores to work with and that can help reduce loads...
    Note: Often starting from scratch with a clean Mac and just installing LogicPpro plus plugins (and not using it for anything else..) can speed things up anyhow...

  • Mac Mini boot up problem.

    Recently, I started to come across a rather annoying problem. Whenever I start my mac mini, boot menu comes up as if "alt" key was pressed. I choose HD and then mac mini boots normally. I suspected an imminent HD failure and  checked the HD for errors with OSX built in disk utility and third party SMART utility. Nothing seems to be wrong with volume and smart tests are OK. While the OSX is running, I don't see any unusual problems like stalls, beach ball or so. Any ideas appreciated.
    Mac mini 3,1 OSX SL 10.6.8.

    No, I doubt it's a hard drive failure although that cannot be ruled out yet. I would first consider doing a reinstallation of OS X:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
    Let's see if that fixes the problem. Any chance you have another keyboard you can try? In case this doesn't help.
    BTW, are you really a physicist? If so what specialty?

  • 2012 mac mini does not boot when usb 3 drive is connected

    I have a late 2012 Mac Mini, Ivy Bridge, that has a USB 3.0 external hard drive connected to it.  If the hard drive is powered on when I power up the Mac Mini, I get a light grey screen, but never see the Apple logo and the system just sists there.  If I boot the Mac Mini with the USB 3.0 drive connected, but powered off, the Mac Mini boots just fine.  Interestingly enough, if I reboot the Mac Mini with the USB 3.0 hard drive attached, the Mac Mini boots normally.  I have installed all of the OS patches I can find and have not had any luck in resolving this.  Does anyone have an idea what might be going on? 

    Something to check.  Power everything down.  Turn on
    your external drives then do a PRAM zap booting the MIni.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11243
    It may or may not help.
    If it doesn't, then check the system log starting from the time
    you start up the Mini and see what the last entry was.   Wait a fair
    amount of time so a gap in time in the log can be seen when you turn
    the drive off.   Could determine if it is some hardware issue, as BDAqua
    was suggesting, or a driver issue.

  • NEW Mac Mini i7 SUPER SLOW

    I have been surfing the discussions for a while, and can not find a reason why. I have been using mac for about 10 years now, and I can not figure out why my new mac mini with the i7 chip is running deadly slow. I dont download anything that isnt on the iTunes library or the App store. It has loads of storage left.
    Here are my specs:
    OSx v 10.9.4
    Proc: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
    Mem: 4GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    I have 600GB left of storage
    When I boot the computer it boots really slow. Like 4 or 5 minutes from the time i press the power button until I can log in.
    After logging in, if I click to open a program I can literally sit 4 or 5 minutes before its open.
    It has done this since I opened the box and fired it up for the first time.
    Are mac mini's normally this poor of performance? It drives us nuts as our old iMac was WAY faster than this and it was nowhere near as "powerful" of a computer.
    If someone out there can explain what I can do I would sure appreciate any help.

  • Mac Mini (mid 2011) - safe temperature range

    Hi,
    I've been using a mid-2011 Mac Mini for a few months now and I'm a little concerned about the temperatures mine sometimes reaches. It's generally fine for everyday use, typically running around 40-60 degrees C, however with some programs (for example, just about anything that uses Adobe AIR) the fan goes haywire and the temperature rockets to just over 90 degrees C. At this point I usually close whatever I was running and temperatures return to normal.
    What is the safe range to be running one of these at?
    It's a 2.5GHz model, with 8GB of Crucial memory & I'm using smcFanControl to monitor the temperature, and in case it matters, it's sitting on top of a hardback book (but fairly decent airflow otherwise)
    I did search, but couldn't find anything specific to the mid 2011 models.
    Thanks in advance!

  • New Mac mini 2.5GHz i5 Temperature

    Hi there, I got the new 2011 Mac mini 2.5GHz i5 model on Thursday and I have noticed that it seems to run reasonably hot. I have the iStat Pro widget installed (not sure if it accurate) and it reports a CPU temperature of around 55-60 C at idle (no user applications running) and I have seen it increase up to about 70 C when I was watching 1080p Flash YouTube video. I would just like to know if these temps are normal, so if any of you have this model could you please let me know your temps.
    Also, I read that in 10.7 Lion, Adobe Flash does not use hardware acceleration so does mean this will increase the load on the CPU instead of using the GPU for acceleration?
    Thanks

    Thanks for posting your temps! I have just checked mine again and they are similar to yours. My ambient 1 & 2 are 47 C and the thermometer in my room says 23 C.

  • Mac mini is hot (temperature)

    Hello, how are you.
    I'm worried about the temperature of my mac mini. It's hot. Is it normal?; I mean, it is heating below my mac mini (so much).
    Please, I hope an answer as soon as you read this.
    Thank you, very much.
    Have a good day.

    "the bottom of your mini is a heat sink"... when you talk about bottom, you're meaning about the side which mac mini is supported on the desk? I'm meaning to that side.
    And about how much is it hot?... think about an adapter; if you touch it, you'll note that it is so hot. maybe a little more in this case. Generally, the temperature of my room is 32°C.
    you mean that part??? the bottom is the rubbery part
    to hot??? hmmm....well, if it starts getting higher than about 75 you should worry, but don't worry, that won't happen, because the fans will start to come on at about 70

  • Temperature of mac mini during installation?

    Mac mini is extremely hot to touch, it is currently installing OS X Mountain lion.
    Is this normal that the machine is too hot to even touch?
    Or should I be worried?
    Thanks guys.

    Only if it becomes totally unresponsive, shuts down on its own, or the ambient temperature and humidity are beyond specs:
