Mac Mini Temperature

I'm running almost identical temps. 2012 mini 2.3 i7.

Sorry, newbie question:

Why are there temps for TB port 1 and port 2 when the 2012 has a single TB port?

Also curious if you think you have an issue; those temps look just fine assuming ambient air is taken within the Mini although admittedly I don't have a Mini (yet) to compare to.

2012 2.5 GHz Core i5, for comparison only.

2012 2.3 i7.

Why the obsession with temperature?

It seems to pop up quite often here.

A hot topic here it seems.

My Cpu core 1 DTS was at 200* while running Parallels playing walking dead. As soon as I shut down Parallels went down to 138* is it safe to run it at that temp?

Yes, that means you were only running about 93C (I'd recommend using Celsius when discussing CPU temps since that is the industry standard). Intel processors are good to 100+C. If you would (somehow) exceed the max temp, your CPU would shut off protecting it from any real damage.
