It seems to be running hotter lately. I'm not sure if it has an internal fan. It's about 3 years old.
Is this something to be concerned about?
Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.7.1)
Try blowing any dust for the internals. Install a temp monitoring program to see what the temperatures are. There are free ones in the Mac App Store.
What model Mini do you have?
I'd be concerned... have you blown the dust out lately?
My model is Mac mini, mid 2011.
Dumb questiion...what's the best way to blow out the dust? I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to computers.
It'd be best to open it & used canned air or copresor, but if not, at least blow out the intake & exhaust vents.
Thanks. Do I need to shut down the computer first, or is it safe to blow out the dust when it's merely in sleep mode?
It is always safer to completely shut down the computer before cleaning
Mac mini hot to the touch. Is that a problem?
