Question Mac Mini mid 2010 Question about temperatures

[Gaquin]

Hi, my Mac Mini mid 2010 2.4 GHz 8 GB RAM seems to have heat a bit high, but I'm not sure, so I need your opinion; I mainly use this machine to do downloads, watch movies and navigate the internet. Is 72º C normal or should I worry about ?
Thank you so much.

I think 72C is probably normal for that type of setup and I've seen quite a few laptops normally run higher than that.

Thank you, Illustrious ! Nonetheless I am trying to find ways to drop the rates. So thin, so tight and with a psu inside it...no wonder ! I believe I will get it. I have made a wooden hollow box for the machine and set two small silent fans, one underneath and one above it. The temperature dropped to around 58/60 C !
