Mac mini new in 2019 is now running hot for the first time.

I just noticed my Mac mini I bought in 2019 is running hot.

Not just warm but I can feel the heat coming out of it.

I have it on an Origami shelf so its well ventilated & I

am always plugging in an Sd card or thumb drive.

Only have a monitor and plug for mouse connected

plus one SD card. Why would it suddenly get really hot?

Posted specs from About my Mac. Thanks for any ideas.

Mac mini, macOS 13.1

Thanks, Matti! What a great piece of information. I had no idea this existed.

I used to go to computer classes when I had a PC and learned from a former Microsoft employee. Wow did we get educated.

When I joined a Mac club the group leader also got paid to work on Macs etal, so we learned a lot of fluff. What you just offered is what I miss learning about. Thanks so much, I am a little smarter today!! Cynthia
