For people who use their Mini for high workload applications; i can't recommend installing a software fan controller enough. A Apple fan curve seems to not actually exist, the fan will refuse to go above it's idle speed of 1000rpm and the SoC will bounce off the thermal throttle of 100c. Where as a rule to kick the fan up to 2300rpm~ above 70c is enough to keep the SoC under around 85c.
Good luck to people when M4 Mini clogs with dust, as the intake is sat on the desk surface, which collects dust.

Looks like I'm all set to take a bit of cash off for the next refresh of the AppleTV (hopefully in 2025!)
