- skuhn 11y agoSorry, just some off-the-cuff math. We use Supermicro FatTwin systems for Linux stuff, and they run a lot of fans at much higher RPMs to maintain proper airflow relative to the Mac Pro design (which runs one fan at pretty low RPMs most of the time). As a result, I'm calculating that the Mac Pros draw a lot less power for cooling purposes than the Linux systems due to their chassis design. However, serviceability and other factors are definitely superior on the Supermicro FatTwins.
