I mention the model number at 10:20 in my video. My model matches yours.
Regardless of what the specs say, I am hearing the fan turn on after the Mac has been on for a little while. I've not measured the current consumption of my entire Mac, but I highly doubt it draws substantially less current when I first switch it on, and then 5 minutes later suddenly starts to draw massive amounts of current such that the fan is triggered by current. In light of that, I made my assumption that heat is triggering the fan rather than current.
