[QUOTE="JollyRogerBay, post: 1630845, member: 340611"] I know for sure that the cable on the front is plugged in. I have turned on the machine when it is open with and without the cable plugged in, and I know that the HD temperature sensor is doing something since the fan speed will eventually slow to a reasonable 1500-2000 RPM on it's own when idling at the desktop. The fan mainly picks up when booting and using applications. I'm not sure what to use or do to this mini beyond smcFanControl. I would like replace the sensor cable, but they seem to run for around $20-$25 online, and I consider that too much to pay for something that might not even fix the problem. Do you have any recommendations? [/QUOTE]
