[QUOTE="iggibar, post: 1817644, member: 97843"] A few things to mention. [LIST=1] [*]Let your computer do the fan control. No need to have a separate program accessing critical data and having permissions to override critical system operating parameters. You computer is more than capable of controlling its own fans if it detects high temps, even if you don't like how it's running. [*]All temperature readings are important, and it's important to know their normal operating range. [*]Your Mac Mini was capable of using 2 HDDs, but most likely with one stock. You have to figure you're cramming an HDD's worth of extra stuff in your Mac Mini, and are taking up that space that would allow for air to flow more freely. By restricting air flow, you are going to cause temperatures to go higher on this cooling system that is technically laptop-grade. [/LIST] How have you installed OSX and the programs across the two drives? [/QUOTE]
