I have the feeling (I can't proove it, just from subjctive noticing) that my 1.25 GHz mini is becoming louder over time. Does room temperature affect the fan level? It might have become a few degrees wamer over the last few days here. I can clearly hear the fan when sitting at the computer table. It's far away from being loud, but it's definately more noisy than at the beginning. My mini is now about three months old. Thx.

I'm sure your mini is actually becoming louder, but there are logical and acceptable reasons for why it's happening. Like you said, an increase in the ambient temperature would make the mini louder because the mini as a whole would be hotter. Also, a computer fan would get louder as time goes on, especially if it uses a bushing and not a bearing. Mainly because the bushing or bearing wears out, so there's more friction and more noise.

So... your mini should be getting louder, especially because of the hotter weather you're having. I don't think it's something to worry about though....
