Currently my mini split is set on 69; room temp is 69 and the compressor is not on, so the evaporator coil is also 69 (I know that temp because I use an aftermarket controller that has a fins/evaporator coil sensor).

When I have the aftermarket controller set to a very cold temp (47-50F, which is the temp range I sleep in, year round), then the evaporator reaches temps of 45-to-near freezing while supercooling my room and then rises/levels off once those cold temps are reached.
Oh yes, the compressor pump was running I think on the high speed and the outdoor unit fan was also running. The unit is a brand new Mitsubishi 42,000 Btu 5 port Mini Split.
