Sony 4k 49” x720e monitor Hp 27” 27es monitor Mercury Elite Pro Dual Mini Storage enclosure, 2 Crucial 960 SSD) G-Drive external HD, 6TB Kawai ES100 Keyboard Faderport 2018 7 port hub (iLoks, eLicensor, HD Pro C920 Waves DogiGrid IOS (SoundGrid Studio control app which runs in the background) Ethernet Right now, while posting this, the Temps CPU PECI reads 67°c. I usually go by this reading. One thing I have noticed and that is the SoundGrid Studio app is a bit of a hog and when I quit it, I can get roughly 54°c. Maybe this is the norm. Another thing I can’t quite figure out and that is when SoundGrid Studio app is running, the Intel Power Gadget (Frequency Core) is always at 4.30, straight line across. When I quit SGS, the Frequency begins to fluctuate between 3.2 & 4.0. Is this normal? My PT sessions are roughly 60 tracks, combination of Instruments, audio, aux tracks. The Vienna Ensemble Pro template is 20 channels, mostly with orchestral K6 VI’s but also Keyscape, Omni, RMX, UVI, etc. As I write this, PT and VEP is loaded and the temp idles at 88°. To me, this is pretty high but unsure as to what I can do to bring it down. I can try manually setting the fan speed but I heard this wasn't a good thing to do. Maybe I’m wrong. Anyway, just a little overview of my setup. Thx. |

Re: 2018 MacMini experiment on ProTools HDX
I just bought a new MM 2018 too and same here - pretty hot compared to my older mac mini..! But I guess (or hope) it should be able to handle it
I just recorded for 2 weeks on PT 2018.12 and couldn´t be happier - pretty stable (1 crash in 2 weeks) and very fast - fun to work on! |

Re: 2018 MacMini experiment on ProTools HDX
You're killing it if it runs like that 24/7

Re: 2018 MacMini experiment on ProTools HDX
It isn't powered on 24/7 but it does run a good 14 hours a day and forget the 67° c... it's that temperature when Pro Tools isn't even loaded. When working in PT, Vienna Ensemble Pro, several VI's and plugins, the mini's temp will fluctuate be 85 & 95°c. This is really a concern to me but I've asked several folks and they don't seem to think it's a problem and that the mini is designed to take the beating.
I'd be interested in knowing what temperatures others are getting and I'm not saying 4 audio tracks with a couple plugins, I mean a full load... get the mini working. |

Take a look at the specs of thermal pastes... the day you boil it will be the day you fry your cpu

Re: 2018 MacMini experiment on ProTools HDX
Aren't computers, whether the mini or any other, designed to shut down to prevent frying the cpu, when over 100°c which is boiling point?
