New Retina MacBook Pro Asymmetrical Fan - Silent or Still Loud?

2012-06-18
hey guys johnathan it was TLD with a quick video on one of the questions I've been getting most and that is do the new asymmetrical fans actually perform quieter or is it just hype a lot of you guys who use a MacBook Pro know if your export your video or rendering or really just watching YouTube videos with flash video the fans get really loud and kick up very highly so for now I got Final Cut Pro 10 open I'm gonna drop a clip into the timeline selecting in and out and before really just editing in the timeline you throw an effect on it and let it render it would kick in the fans so I'm gonna shut up for a second let you guys hear it I got the mic a little closer than I usually do so let's go to let it render and see if you guys can hear it so a hundred percent done and really I think there was more noise I can hear from the lights in my room than there was with the fans which is nice so we're gonna tack on let's go another clip see how it performs after a couple maybe we'll do a compound clip on these throw one one more effect to let it render and I can barely hear it's a little audible but it's really not noticeable which is a huge improvement to me so again I'm gonna shut up the guys listen to it so there you go after to effect renders it's still barely audible I mean you have to really put your ear up next to it to hear it and I got the microphone pretty close let's go to hop out of here and from now we'll go ahead and go to Cinebench let's get into the Downloads folder launch this up and this actually stresses out the CPU which in theory should kick up the fan noise and actually I've been using Final Cut Pro 10 when I export maybe like a four or five minute video then you can kind of hear kick in but for the most part it's pretty silent which is awesome and again I'm gonna shut up right now I think I hear it getting a little bit louder lead you guys can listen for yourselves there's a little weird staying quiet for a video but the whole point of this is fan noise so I'm like chime in every second or two but again it's performing virtually silent right now and this is stressing out the CPU it's kicking in slightly I don't know if you guys can hear that but it just it's barely audible right now there we have it so that's done and that pretty much was silent the whole time I can really kind of barely hear let's go back to final cut and it's maybe do an export real quick and let's uh toss a few more clips in there just for the sake of this video see if we can get the project a little longer so it's about a minute video export h.264 what are the desktop works gonna call it a test and I will end my talking part here let you guys finish this video out listening to it on this video I'll have links to both the unboxing and the performance review which is a crap ton of benchmarks speed test so you guys can check that out if you missed that but from now thank you guys for watching I will leave this on export you guys have not subscribed make sure you do so so you don't miss the full review and I will see you guys later
