Mac Mini 2012 overheating, and is it time to consider a new one?
Hi,
My question is two fold. I have this Mini late 2012 i7 that's still pretty fast but it overheats and hangs very quickly during CPU intensive tasks in Mojave, where it should not. It is clean inside and the fan works, but I wonder if I should consider replacing the heat sink compound (I have not yet checked if it is removable). Any advice would be welcome.
My other concern is about the opportunity to buy a Mini 2018. The next releases will probably come with OS Catalina, so is the Mini 2018 the last that will support 32 bit apps? Or is there a chance that some newer Mini 2019 Mojave compatible might show up? Thanks!
