Re: New "Mac Studio" from Apple
Quote:
I have not tried to push the system to its absolute limits while using the fans at 1,100 RPM, but I did use it pretty hard on a variety of tasks, and it never went past 44° C on any of the CPU/GPU sensors. FWIW, it was one of the efficiency cores that had that temperature. With the fan app, you can set the speed of the fans to either auto, full-blast, or any custom speed you want as long as it's between 1,100 and 3,500 RPM. You can also set the fan speeds independently, but I've generally left them at the same speeds. When they're running at the custom speed, the software is apparently overriding the system, and the fans basically stay at that setting, regardless of thermals - but again, the thermals are well within acceptable limits - it could get considerably hotter and still be within acceptable limits, so I have no idea how the Mac Studio would respond to an over-limit temperature situation. I suspect it would just shut down, but that's purely a guess on my part. But I'd recommend keeping a close eye on the sensors and if anything goes north of 55-60° C, I'd put the fans back on auto, just to be safe. But so far, based on what I've seen, the Apple Silicon chips run very cool. Lowering the fan speed a couple hundred RPM doesn't seem to have a terribly huge impact on the overall effectiveness of the cooling, but it does make a slight difference, as well as quieting the (already low) fan noise a bit.

Many YT videos on it. When the fan is full, it is loud. |

Re: New "Mac Studio" from Apple
There's no need for us to be turning the fans down guys. These are the quietest Mac's ever built. What you are used to is louder than this thing so..

Re: New "Mac Studio" from Apple
Not true. The Macbook Air M1 has no fans at all (passive cooling only).

Re: New "Mac Studio" from Apple
We're talking about desktop studio machines here.

New "Mac Studio" from Apple
Interestingly, everyone said the MacPro was dead silent when they came out. They’re supposedly 27dB idle and the Mac Studio is 25dB.
So is it just that these machines are being placed on a desktop and as such, closer to our ears? Would be an interesting test to pop one on the floor under a desk, mimicking a typical tower PC position and see if it’s still audible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: New "Mac Studio" from Apple
The noise level of these things is the least of our worries.
But yeah I see your train of thought and tend to agree.

I agree, but everyone seems to keep bringing it up.

Re: New "Mac Studio" from Apple
We got stuck on bouncing to disk arguments earlier so I think it becomes more of a chat sometimes rather than a scientific record. Haha

True. I contributed to that BTD derailment so I’m partly to blame. Hey, at least it hasn’t devolved into Hitler references. |
