Are there comprehensive temperature tests between M3 pro and M3 max and maybe M1 max? I'd love to find out which one is the most cooler when compiling or doing some intensive tasks, as well as fan noise.
 
I am running topaz video AI (v3.2.9) as wanted to upconvert some of my bird videos I recorded last summer. You can see the temps close to 70'c and fans ramping and i can hear them. This is was a 5 second preview rendering. Also takes maybe 6-7 minutes to cool back down to 40'c with fans slowly following. So it rendered the 5 second preview in 4.5 minutes. I am on the M3 max 14" 16c/40gpu 64gb 1tb.
