Don’t know it fixed Bluetooth disconnection problems across the board. Apple always slips on other stuff as well.
I am! ? I don't have a whistling sound, but the whoosh sound the air maxes when exiting the Studio came very unexpected. I "fixed" it like this for now. It reduced the sound making its way to my ears drastically und the Studio does only get one or two degrees warmen, if any. I even played StarCraft II like this - the only task with wich I manages to get the fans spinning at more than 1300 rpm, so far.
That's novel, a Mac Studio modesty skirt.
Good to know, that the MacBook Pro with the same M1 Max processor and performance is silent, while the Mac Studio fans blow and make noise like there's no tomorrow. The Mac Studio could be the Mac of my dreams. During the keynote I thought: "Shut up and take my money". But I can't stand that noise.
For short tasks that require high performance that's true. But if you plan to do GPU or CPU intensive tasks that take over five or ten minutes at least the 14" MacBook Pro will get loud(er) and it throttles. The same with the 16" MacBook Pro but much later. So if you really stress your system for longer periods of time the Mac Studio is still the most silent and most performant one.
Yes. Agreed. I was ready/excited to buy an M1 Max inside of a Mac mini case in the fall of 2021 and I figured it would be $3000. However I couldn't deal with the whistle noise and personally I think that noise is unacceptable/unreasonable no offense to those who disagree. I do still wonder what percentage have the noise problem and if other Mac Studios will develop it later. I still laugh pretty hard thinking about how one person on this forum explained the noise to the Apple Store employee who agreed, and then the Apple Store employee wrote buyer's remorse as the reason for the Mac Studio being returned.
My Mac mini 2018 runs at 1700 rpm constantly. I would say it's silent. And even at the maximum of 4000 rpm it sounds better to me than the Mac Studio at 1300 rpm.
Even the little Intel NUC's have options in the bios to alter the fan speed, why can't Apple release an app for the studio to control the fans, with a failsafe setting that ramps up the fans to a higher speed to stop possible overheating.
Yes. Same. I have two Mac minis and whatever perhaps they are technically louder but I don't hear my Mac minis at all. I don't hear my 2019 Mac Pro at all. My particular Mac Studio wasn't right.
You can't compare fan rpms and resulting noise levels between different machine designs. There may be fan designs which are silent at 3000 rpm and others are audible at 500 rpm. It depends on so many more factors, for example: fan diameter, fan height, fan blade angles, fan housing, the path air takes in and out of the fan/housing...
That doesn't sound very Apple like. ? But of course it would be great if there would be an optional setting to keep it completely silent as long as possible instead of keeping it at the same okay-ish noise level as long as possible.
Based on using various Apple products I have a sound expectation that most of their products meet though not the Mac Studio. Again no offense to those who disagree, maybe the Studio is fine for some people. I returned my Mac Studio after one day - though helped by this forum and these threads.
makes sense TG Pro kept reporting my left fan not working properly
I'm curious to see if the others will still be on the left side. Should send feedback to Apple, I've already posted 2x.
The iStat Menus can set 0% to 1100 rpm, but the rpm does not decrease. Increasing it is not a problem.
