I don't think a higher profile will make the CPU get hotter. As long as it's at 100% it'll go to its higher temp imo.
You build your own presets? I just hit Apple TV3 and Go.
Yeah. Tbh I don't HB that much. 1 file per month? (If so...) I do usually get the CPU at 100% though while testing out programs we do at work. 8 threads come in handy here. (and my old Mini just had 2... what a difference)
In the tests I posted in the other thread temps didn't go as high with these tests as with HB, so maybe CPU wasn't utilized at 100% but 99 or 98% each, who knows.
I plugged in mi 2010 Mini to see how it run without the bottom cover and put in on the table. Run HB for 20 mins with the cover on first, and noticed temps didn't go over 85ºC, when I can perfectly recall them going like 92ºC when it was where my 2012 Mini is now.
So maybe there's another factor because as I said, where I usually have the mini it's surrounded by wood and two hard drives, which don't seem to do much but might actually do something in the end.
EDIT: Without the cover it held pretty well at 75-80ºC, so around 6-8ºC less. Best part is fan didn't have to spin up over 2000rpm, while with the cover on it needed 3500rpm to keep it at 85ºC.
