Late 2012 Mac Mini Cooling Fan Intake and Exhaust Vents:
I can't post to apple's forums to correct mistaken info there but just a FYI that the mac mini cooling fan does not "take air in from the same vent it blows from" as was flagged as "solved" in reply to a Late 2012 Mini owner question on cooling fan air intake. The correct info is easily confirmed visually/logically (obviously the cooling fan doesn't get intake air from its exhaust/output - it can't be taking in cool air from the same port that the fan is blowing air out), as well as Apple's own info on the Late 2012 mini (Mac mini (Late 2012): External ports and connectors).
Note the image in the doc shows separate "Cool Air Intake" and "Exhaust Vent":
Reminder on 2012 Mac Mini Internal Drive Upgrade/Swap (w/o removing mb):
(Another topic that came up today.) I'm sure it's not news for many, but just a reminder you can replace the main drive in a 2012 mini without removing anything other than the fan and lifting the antenna/shield assembly out of the way.
