Hi! Not sure what you mean by fan header, but it sounds like you've damaged the logic board and the fan connector to power? Otherwise if it is just the fan that is damaged just buy a new fan assembly.
But ... Sounds like a logic board problem. You could try this:
Remove the round cover on the bottom. Get a fan like this to blow into the chassis. The design is for the installed fan to pull air into the chassis then out the back vents. By doing this you are replacing the internal fan for an external one blowing into the machine. I do the same thing with this fan:

Best to you,

I looked at the T5, and if I was a mobile user, I would have gotten one. So small and cool looking. Any issues with it?
Instead, I got two 10TB EasyStores from Best Buy last weekend thanks to r/DataHoarder and shucked the drives and put them in a 2 Bay Mediasonic ProRAID with native USB-C2 connection. It is set up as 2 normal independent HFS drives, just in one enclosure. But at some point I might put them RAID0 mode. Fan is a little bit loud, otherwise I love it and the native USBC connection.

I have no use for 4K, but I just bought these https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00NZTKOQI/ref=pe_3034960_236394800_TE_dp_1 with a thunderbolt 3.0 to displayport adapter. They're actually nicer than I expected, super thin bezel. Always been happy with Dell monitors.
I purchased 32GB (16x2) Crucial SODIMMS through Amazon Prime for $275. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B071H38422/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Unfortunately, I may return them, and my soon-to-arrive-any-minute Mac Mini if I decide I don't want to swap out the memory myself. I'll just order another Mac Mini, but with 32GB of RAM instead of 8 this time.
As long as I'm posting, it would be great if someone else had a look at the RAM I ordered from Amazon to ensure I chose the right ones. Thx.
Definitely go with the SSD *before* upgrading the RAM. The speed difference is night and day. I followed the step-by-step installation instructions on iFixit. It's not a difficult install, just be sure to read through all the instructions AND comments BEFORE opening the device, so you know where to use the most care. I bought this installation toolkit off Amazon – it's much cheaper than the $40 kits iFixit and OWC are selling.
Its a bit pricey but most long tb3 cables are. There is also active and passive. If you get a cheaper cable they support less bandwidth, 20gbps vs 40gbps and less wattage.

I just built a 4k setup with a mac mini 2018 - i5 upgraded to 32Gb Ram It works well with this LG 4k 27
I use it only for media/ twitch so I noticed the mini can run hot, so I bought this fan to blow underneath it.
Works like a charm!
Take a look at this 4k screen: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073VYVX5S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Here's what I like about it:
Mine runs hot when I'm using Photoshop. I've read elsewhere that the heat is within Intel specs.
Regardless, I bought a USB fan that I point at the Mini, and it cools it down great.

The 2014 mini doesn’t have two internal 2.5” drive bays...just one. You could use the original HDD as external storage, or keep it installed and add on a blade SSD by first buying the blade SSD cable here or somewhere else, and then buying an apple blade ssd or a standard pcie nvme ssd like the Samsung 970 Evo and an apple blade connector to m.2 adapter like this one .

Cyberpower
but I don't know if they have the auto shutdown you need.Edit: cyberpower does too:

The header is a small port where the connector at the end of the fan’s wires connects to. That’s what I unfortunately broke off.
It’s serendipitous you posted that link because as I was looking for something last night, I came upon a similar possible solution and it’s the same company and almost the same thing. Only instead of a fan, it’s a blower.
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B012CL2V3I/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?smid=A2AW0W4FKP16S5&psc=1
My thought was that I would just remove the fan from the Mac mini, put the cover back on, and then set this blower behind it to where the air discharge is blown straight into the vent at the rear of the Mac mini. Hopefully. I can even butt them together. What do you think?
Okay, I just ran across this on amazon, a bit cheaper and seems like it would work fine.

I briefly used two of these:
USB-C to DisplayPort Cable
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CMRT77D/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_fEUTCbPVHVY8V
They worked great while I used them.
I only used them briefly because I ended up getting an eGPU (so now I just use regular DisplayPort cables)
bought two of these, just installed in 2018 mac mini, works great.
https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-2666MHz-Memory-Computers-M471A4G43MB1/dp/B07N124XDS
Bought this a year ago and works great.
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B009EH010E?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image
Is this only capable when doing an eGPU setup? What setup do you have to attain 160hz on your Mac Mini?
​
Edit: What other monitors can you recommend aside from your Dell Gaming Monitor S2417DG?
Edit2: Is the TN Panel the only way to have more FPS on a monitor?
This one looks good
MiniPro 2.5" SATA to USB 3.1

But if you want speeds that come close to the internal, you’ll need this

Cool. I ended up going with the LG 27UK650 4k

It fits the 2018 mac mini just fine. I'll mount it this weekend and follow up with pics.
I just did this two days ago. Here's everything you'll need:
RAM: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071H38422/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

It took about 20 minutes total :)
Edit: I did 32GB, but the process is the same. You would just have to find the correct ram sticks
