Looking at the teardown of the 2012 Mini, the heatsink and fan look like they are laptop-sized.
Does anybody know if this is enough to cool the 2.3GHz i7 model without generating a bunch of noise and/or limiting the performance, since the Turbo Boost feature overclocks less when the processor is hotter?
I'm a little worried because I will be doing some very processor-intensive stuff on the Mini at times, and I've read about how people are annoyed by the amount of noise put out by quad-core MacBooks under load.
