fan noise

Hey there! I’m a music producer who is using Ableton and I like to finally buy a new machine since my old MBP is very old. Coming from an old MBP from 2009 I know that the M3 will be a massive upgrade for me! But as you can see I‘m not the person who buys a new MBP every 2 years. So I‘m torn...

Hi all, I was using a M1 Max 10-core CPU 32-core GPU 32 GByte RAM 1 TByte model since its release back in 2021. As the RAM and storage have been my most limiting components (not performance!), I decided to upgrade to a refurbished M2 Max 12-core CPU 38-core GPU 96 GByte RAM 8 TByte model. As I...

I've seen a lot of people on here talking about returning the M3 Max or going with the M3 Pro over the M3 Max because they want improved battery life or quieter fans. If that is the only thing holding you back—don't do it. What if I told you that you could have the best of both worlds? I was...

Hi Guys I would like to know why this fan is always on, even with the minimal use , See the screenshot Thanks in advance.

Anyone with a maxed out 14" M3 Max have any insight on fan noise? I've seen some reviews that show the fans kick up, but seems they were all testing doing heavy loads, sometimes with high performance mode enabled. Was curious for more low/medium loads/normal power mode, how has the fan noise...

Can anyone with a 14” mbp with a fully maxed out M1/2 MAX Chip + fully maxed out RAM comment on battery life/fan noise? Curious what the actual experience is for people with a fully souped up 14”. How bad is your battery life? Do you deal with a lot of fan noise? Issues even in a low/medium...

I've had enough of my Intel Mac mini so would like to get a new Mac mini. Noise levels are really important as the spinning up of the fan in my current mini is driving me mad, I have discounted the Studio because of the alleged fan noise. Am I correct? So, what I'd like to know is, is there any...

Hi All, I have upgraded from my iMac Pro to a Mac Studio Ultra and Mac Studio Display. However, I am still experiencing the fan noise with the Mac Studio Display even after the update.. Is this still common? I have read a few articles and some say its been resolved after the firmware. What...

I updated a 2012 MBP from Sierra to High Sierra a few weeks ago. As an external monitor I always use a 2011 iMac in Target Display Mode (Thunderbolt). The iMac runs Sierra. Weird thing is, ever since the MBP HS update, the iMac seems like it's been running extra hot and the fans are definitely...

As has been discussed ad nauseam in various threads in this forum, the fan noise issue is a complicated interaction between differences in people’s hearing, differences in people’s level of annoyance from what they’re hearing, and possible differences in fan noises from the Mac Studio. The only...

My Mac Studio arrived today: M1 Max 32 Core GPU 64GB Ram 2TB SSD At the default 1300ish RPM speed there is a noticeable high pitched whining sound. Actual fan whoosh is barely noticeable (similar to my very quiet 12-Core Mac Pro 2019 sitting on the floor which this is supposed to replace). But...

I bought a Mac Studio Max. It’s replacing a mid 2010 iMac running off an external SSD (a real trooper) and joining forces with my MBP 16 inch. Let me start off by saying that I've been so excited for the Studio. It's what I have wanted from Apple for a long time. From what I had read in the lead...

All sorts of articles on 2011 and older DIY hacks to short the temp sensor wires on SATA cable. Nothing for 2012. 1) I don't want to buy the OWC sensor, nothing against them and I have bought this cable in the past but its feeling a bit like snake oil'ish 2) I don't want to run software I just...

I am using a 2015 15" MacBook Pro with an external 4k display over display link (so only one display to drive). I have a fan noise problem: When screen recording with Quicktime, and using an external Wacom graphics tablet, a Rode NT-USB microphone and maybe Affinity Photo ... the fan noise...

Hi, I buyed a Imac G5 for 10$ but it dosent work sadly the Imac starts but there is no display and after 30 seconds the fan becomes very loud. i have tryed everything but nothing works have anyone an idea what i can do?

Hi guys, I'm so sorry for asking this. But i've tried to search around but couldn't find a guide. (I've also combed through the Apple Technician Guide for it but to no avail). Is there a way to remove the fan from both the CPU heatsinks (non-destructively) cleaning and maintenance? I can see...

Is there anyway I can open the macbook and clean the fans myself or should I get it serviced? I noticed that even when idling that it makes more noise as opposed to when it had a year for example. I suspect it may be due to dust. Thank you in advance.

I've had my MacPro 3,1 for quite a long time now. Lately I noticed it was running pretty sluggish so I've given it a few upgrades to help get a few more years out of it before I finally cave and upgrade to a new machine. I recently put in a solid state drive to boot from, added a USB 3.0 card...

I'm wanting to buy a new iMac 2020 but I work in a quiet office environment and am currently using my MacBook Pro Retina 13" Early 2015 which is dead silent 99% of the time. I'm concerned about the fan noise of the fully spec'd iMac (3.6GHz 10-core i9 CPU with 5700XT graphics). Some owners say...

Hello everyone, thinking on upgrading my i9 2019 iMac with a new Mac Pro for audio production (16-core, 192 GB RAM and 5500X GPU). What can you tell me about the potential fan noise? These are the measurement I took with my current iMac sitting at the desk: • idle (fan at 1200 rpm): 26 dBA •...
