VERY hot RAMs when using Amarra 2.1 in Cache mode.

[HiFiInsider]

I have been playing Amarra Mini on my 2010 Mac Mini with 3GB RAM for about 8 hours straight. I put my hand on the bottom of the Mini and noticed it's pretty hot. Should I be concern that Amarra playing music from RAM in Cache Mode may damage my RAM sticks?

That's interesting. I noticed the same this morning after running in cache mode, and also that there is unwonted noise from the Mini.

Are we alone on this? Seems pretty quite here.

You need a better way to assess the temperature. The case is a heat sink, so the fact that the case is hot is probably a good thing.

 

Here is one you can get for free:

It will tell you the temps of the various internal components.

I wouldn't worry about this at all. As the above post says, the fact that the case is hot is a good thing.
