[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1848829, member: 56379"] Since this is a 2018 Mac-Mini (not too old)...let's assume for troubleshooting purposes there's a software issue. I would suggest creating a new user account...and try to duplicate the CPU load with this account (with minimal app installs)...don't reinstall [COLOR=#333333]MacsFanControl.[/COLOR] Check the temps...and see if the fans run faster than 2500 rpm. - If the fans do run faster & the computer runs cooler...then maybe there's a software issue with the main account. - If the fans don't run faster...and the temps remain the same...then either this is normal for a 2018 Mac-Mini...or maybe there's a hardware issue. Probably wouldn't hurt to blast it with some canned compressed air to see if you blow out any fuzz/dirt. HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
