Experiment cooling the M4 Pro

Loving the new M4 Pro mini! My only gripe is how warm it gets during heavy tasks like rendering or 4K gaming. The fan isn’t loud, but you’ll definitely notice it, and the top gets toasty.

So, I tried slapping a heatsink with a thermal pad on top, and I made a surprising difference. The fan kicks on less often now, and when it does, it is quieter. I'd love a YouTuber to do a real test with benchmarks on something like this.
