M1 doesn't hit thermal dissipation capacity of Apple's fan solutions (in Mini and MB Pro). You can witness that by torturing the CPU and not even hearing the fan at all. Plenty f videos on the web show that. The fan spins, but only barely and never quite as much as with Intel I-series. And they use the same fan/heatpipe as with previous models, so nothing was improved here.
- mrtksn 6y agoSure, it doesn't hit the thermal envelope of Pro&Mini when working as is but isn't there a way to push it to run at higher voltage and frequencies?
- floatboth 6y agoIt's Apple. Of course they won't give you control over voltage and frequencies. Maybe someday someone will reverse engineer it.
- kube-system 6y agoI've been using my M1 MBP for a few days now, and the only way I have been able to get the fan to even power on was to run Cinebench. This morning I was basically running the entire MS office suite, joined a video meeting, had a couple dozen tabs open in my browser, a couple of nodejs apps, and a few other things -- and the fan still didn't start.
