If the work location is rather dusty, the fan will pull in extra debris and that The Apple Mac mini 'Core i7' 2.3 (Late 2012/Aluminum Unibody) features a 22-nm Quad Core 'Ivy Bridge' 2.3 GHz Intel 'Core i7' (3615QM) processor with four independent processor 'cores' on a single chip, a 6 MB shared level 3 cache, 4 GB of 1600 MHz DDR3 SDRAM (PC3-12800) memory, a 1 TB hard drive, and Intel HD Graphics 4000 which shares system memory.

I suspect reducing the CPU temperature by even just 5 degrees (f) will extend it's life to some extent.įWIW: I've tested this program on a Mac Pro (Dark Tower) and a Mac Book Pro (late 2013). I found Mac Fan Control ( ) yesterday and it seems to do what it advertises. This reduces the temperature, the risk of damage to the processor and the performance of the machine.įrankly, I like to be more pro-active and I can't image running at nearly 200(f) degrees can be 'good' for a processor. From what I've read the processor in the Mini will throttle when the temp reaches 221(f)/105(c) degrees.
