Hi, Your machine should be able to handle its heat dissipation itself no problem. I have a 2011 mac mini server and regularly exercise all its 4 CPUs for extended periods. The fans do their job fine.
I would first check your fans are working OK, and not clogged up with dust (although, for 2012 machine that would seem unlikely…). Do you have it in a spot where the air flow around it is restricted ? That can really hurt. cheers Chris On 6 Apr 2012, at 6:58pm, Tim Johnson wrote: > I use a 2012 Mac Mini with OSX Lion. > > I haven't run selfupdate in some time. > > My observations in the past is that this machine runs alarmingly hot > during long compiles.
