I hope so! We need the information! How many Mac Mini's should I buy? 100? 1000? No, I want them ALL!

Q#1 Does your 2012 Mini have it's original hard drive or an SSD?
Q#2 When was the last time the fan was removed and cleaned?

I have the same model in which I installed an SSD, cleaned the fan and at the same time repasted the CPU & GPU.
Must admit I've rarely heard the fan on this machine. Often on many Apple products the CPU is poorly pasted from new and on all my Macs (desktops and laptops) I make a point of cleaning the fan & repasting the CPU/GPU every 4-5 years (this can be a nightmare on early Powerbooks) but tear-down on a Mac Mini is very straight forward.

it has an ssd but did not remove the fan 🧐 i did remove the cover a few times and cleaned it a bit where i saw dust but never removing the fan. i believe the problem is monterey via open core which seems to be very cpu intensive for this mini, in catalina the fan didn't go crazy so often. u are problably right about the paste but would prefer to avoid the hassle 😅

thanks for the kind suggestions 🙂

I did the same to my Late 2009 MacBook, along with maxing the RAM, gave that machine a whole new life...

I will say, when I took out the fan, the material build-up was like a strip of light felt...
