[QUOTE="HungarianStan, post: 1644320, member: 345301"] So, got me a Mac Mini 2014 model, and so far, all is awesome and great compared to my now dead Windows machine. I do game a little on the Mac, and I noticed that after a while (approx. 40-60 minutes) the Mini's case get warm. Not burning you can now cook here warm, but hot, enough that I strongly notice it. When I stop playing and do regular computing tasks (web browsing, watching a movie, whatever) the temp goes back down and in fact the machine feels cool to the touch once more. So, should I worry? Is the case the heat sink actually? Or am I frying my new mac (though I assume it turns itself off if temperatures actually get dangerous, right)? [/QUOTE]
