MEM Controller reading high

Post by wildroverandy »

Hi,

Firstly, thanks for a great product, it seems to work better than anything else I've tried, and is more sensitive to temperature changes than the standard built in control.

I do have one query. I have a Late 2009 model Mac Mini, running OS 10.8.3, with 8GB of RAM (maximum). All of the temperatures are reading about normal (in the 40-50deg C range), but the Mem Controller is showing 128deg C. It looks like it's stuck, rather than reading high. If I use this sensor to control the fans, it increases the fan speeds, and the other temperatures drop, but not this one.

I have tried checking this in iStatMenus, and that doesn't show this sensor at all - MFC picking up a false sensor reading?

Cheers

Andy.

That's fine, it's good to know at least I don't have a fault on my Mac.

I've attached a screen grab showing the Mem Controller at 128C immediately after waking from sleep.

Thanks,

Andy.
