Hi,

these past days my Mac Mini 2018 has started to run hotter, often reaching 100 c which it never did before.

When using a tool to control fans and monitor temperatures, if I make the fans work harder they stop for a second every 10 seconds or so. This is also new.

Anybody recognize this? Reset SMC and it did nothing. I have Apple care and everything but it might take a while before I actually have time to repair it. Could this fan behaviour harm my computer?
