I would like to get some data for MorphOS idle system temperatures. Feel free to add machines to this list and reply+append with your data and we can get an idea of "normal" temperatures for each machine. Redundant temps are valuable. If your temp is 15º or more out of range, then check your hardware and omit adding that temperature to the list.

I am primarily interested in this data to see if I can avoid re-pasting an iMac G5 2.1Ghz : )

Tip: Activate the Thermal module on the screenbar and then hover the mouse over the screenbar temperature display to get a quick list of all temperatures.

The following idle temperature records are from what I assume are original hardware machines measured in 2026 at ~ 23ºC ambient. These are personal readings to initiate the collection.
