FAN on full speed after hd upgrade
Gang,
I figure why not DIY my new mini so I got 8G of memory and a OCZ Agility 200G SSD drive. I have put these in several older mini's. Ok So I replaced the drive and did all the stuff put the DVD install disk in and formated, partitioned and transfered the OS. The problem is the FAN is running full speed. I tried the SMC reset by removing the power cord and pressing the on button for 5 seconds. I reset PRAM no luck... I opened the $@!$ thing 3 times and cannot see anything wrong.
There is one thing I cannot figure out. On the Toshiba drive I swapped out there was a little PCB and a two wire connector on the front. Not sure if that is it... does not seem to be anything required.
Help?
Thanks
gordon
Is this a good question?

That PCB and connector may be a Heat Sensor, and if you did not install on the new drive it may cause your fans to go full speed. But, I have no experience with this machine so I'll let someone else chime in. Just a suggestion.
