Hi all. I have several Mac Mini M1 and M2 baseline models and they run 24x7 MCM.

These machines only use the CPU cores to crunch data...no GPU use at all. The machines run whisper quiet and very cool.

Does anyone here know if the new Mini M4s (base model) will run just as quiet and cool with these 24x7 CPU-only tasks? I've seen some general topics and videos stating the new Mini M4s in fact get very hot under load as well as the fan starts screaming. However, these articles I've read don't specify if "under load" in their tests is utilizing CPU, GPU, or both.

Any help would be great. Maybe you know of a better article or video I can watch.
