Hi All, I am now running MorphOS 3.11 on my MacMini 1.67ghz 1gig ram and plenty of
free disk space. Seems like anything the is running, flash or YouTube on OWB causes my internal
fan to go bonkers. Which I interpet to mean it's heating up fast and high. Is there some
adjustment I need to make so I can run cooler? Any fixes at all I could impliment
Hardware or Software? Would be much appreciated.
It's normal that Mac mini's fans start blowing hi speed when you run something that makes heavy CPU load (close to max). The fan speed is controlled by the hardware itself and it can't be tuned by software. Only thing you can do is to open the machine and clean it from the dust, it usually helps if it feels that fans do make too much noise and too easily.
For YouTube I would recommend to get OWB configured properly to use overlay with full window playback, then it doesn't max the CPU load when you play videos, like it does in the small embedded view.
Here are instructions how to do it.
