Quick-fire questions
Do I need fan control software to cool my M5 Max?
> No. All Macs running macOS have extensive internal sensors with integrated thermal control in an advanced subsystem named CoreDuet in macOS. That modulates the frequency of cores in the chip, controls fan speed, and a whole lot else to ensure temperatures remain within set limits.
Can a Mac mini M4 run ‘headless’ as a home server?
> Yes, both Mac mini and Studio models can be run without a display, keyboard or mouse connected, and are widely used as headless servers. When first set up, you’ll still need those peripherals connected, but you can then access them over a network using Screen Sharing, ssh, or from an iPad.
