I do love these monthly builds featuring Alex. It's like my month won't be complete without seeing him carefully -violently mutilate- handle hardware to execute a really dope concept.
We tested it for longer after the video was shot. Performance doesn't seem to change on the Mac Studio, but after about 2.5h of full load the non-water cooled one gets pretty hot and the fans finally become audible while the water cooled one remains silent and below 60C. -AC
You could think that, but the Apple cooler is effective enough. Even after hours it won't heat up more and the fans barely run over idle. Apple clearly designed this with the option of putting a higher TDP SoC in there eventually.
As someone who's used Apple computers exclusively for more than a decade, I kinda like the look. It's cyberpunk enough. That said, I think it needs a square acrylic enclosure around everything, G4 cube-style
Strangely enough, mid way through the video, I was beginning to feel the YTP vibes, with the rapid fire chiseling hammer hits. And then that "do it all over again" clip from CS188 drops in. Wow. Such a UA-cam throwback. Thanks LMG Editors
Yeah, seems odd. Meticulously control every single aspect of the computer that relates to users upgrading their experience, but don't have even a warning for fans not working?
@@jubuttibI know this is unexpected for people accustomed to PCs, but on the Apple Silicon Macs, the fans are actually turned OFF when the Mac boots, and they do NOT turn on during normal usage, they remain completely off. The fans only turn on (into idle mode! Lowest RPM) when you start to really stress the Mac Studio, and they are completely inaudible regardless of what you do with the Mac. As you stress it more, it slowly increases speed (because it doesn't need to go any faster, considering the whole SoC at maximum output with 100% CPU and 100% GPU usage only uses about 140W, I think for the Ultra model. The Max probably tops at 90W or something like that (look for the Anandtech review for the exact numbers))
@@untitledsurfer8503 Fair, though PCs can do that too, but the main issue is that they don't even check if the fans are present. They could sense whether they're there without spinning the fans even with just a 2 wire setup, let alone the 6 wire one they're using.
@@untitledsurfer8503 The fans being off until needed is expected, I think the primary issue is it's not checking if fans are working and in this case--completely unplugged. Clearly though if the fans die then the SoC would be okay being passively cooled, but it's still a strange oversight from Apple.
@@Amagys It'll just fall back to passive cooling and thermal throttle to keep from overheating. I only had the fan in my M1 MacBook Pro kick on once, and that was during a stress test. The initial file transfer from my Intel MacBook Air nearly melted the Air while not even getting the M1 above skin temperature, and it was sitting on carpet (the Air was elevated on a box).
The reservoir and pump on top make it look like a supercharged musclecar with a shaker hood cutout. Or the MR Fusion on the back of the DeLorean in back to the future. So rad.
Water cooling things that ought not to be water cooled always lands up taking way longer than expected haha. Loving Alex's unnecessary but awesome builds!
might be an unpopular opinion, but I think Jony Ive leaving Apple was one of the best thing it has happened for the company It always felt like Jony Ive was holding Apple back with his “Looks over Function” direction
Honestly, the result doesn’t really surprise me. I’ve had my M1 Ultra Studio taxing both the CPU and GPU near 100% simultaneously and they barely get above 60°C with the fans running at idle. The Mac Studio has probably the most overkill cooling solution Apple has put in a Mac (I can only assume it’s to give them headroom for potentially hotter chips down the line)
It's more the weak smartphone grade ARM architecture that keeps it from getting hot. If you get one of the original macs witht he more powerful non-fad x86 you can really toast it, because apple cooling and ventilation is trash.
I noticed that with my M1 Ultra MS as well, even if I slow down the fans to their minimum 1100rpm. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such an over-engineered cooling solution before.
@Uche It’s kind of amazing that ARM began life as a desktop chip, never realised its potential, became the centrepiece of all the world’s phones and now, at last, circles back home. It’s not the fastest chip in any category but it’s still very powerful yet uses almost no power. Sometimes I do wonder if Macs will gain on the competition due to electricity prices 😂
Alex videos are so watch-able, he's like ever person's hot engineering version of Sir David Attenborough, but it's when he explains to Linus what's been broken, fixed, completely changed that the good humour kicks in. Love it
I love this kind of hotrodding. It's like having cutting a car's hood so a giant blower can be installed lol. I wanna do a super overclocked budget build doing this somehow.
@@modarkthemauler Yeah. The design i have in my head in basically flat on top and all the fins underneath and then you can just screw the motherboard into the tabletop lol. I dont know how well it would work but it would be entertaining.
I'm very glad you hotrodded it rather than doing a lesser cooler internally. Very cool project. Also, you're better at this than at reviewing things. Please do more of this kind of thing!
the Mac studio is such a simple chassis shape, would be cool to see you totally replace the aluminum with clear acrylic for full rgb goodness/annoyance. Could even have the acrylic go all the way up to enclose the res and rad and add filters :)
This is the best video in a long time. Alex did an amazingly professional job, with no usable application. But it looks great. Please make more amazing engineering things. Just great
This project truly reminnds me the best of the best of Top Gear's challenges, and Im talking Clarkson's TG! Top Gearing the IT in best possible way, pls do more 😁
This build is supercool! You guys should call it the Mac Studio "Hot Rod" cause it looks like one of those ole school cars with the engine exposed. If I could afford it, I would build one for myself lol
I imagine a water cooled Mac studio might be good for a place with hot climates. I mean there was all those warning about not playing certain game systems if the temp was over a certain amount this year. So In certain climates the water cool rig might be worth it.
It's a little unfortunate that it's only the M1 Max variants and you only tried a CPU test. M1 Ultra under combined CPU and GPU load eats like 200W and at that point water cooling might actually make some difference.
Hey Guys! I know you didn’t want to mess up by doing a acrylic part for the water cooling plate BUT it would have been awesome if a completely new transparent upper case enclosing all of the mac and water cooling system with the rgb lights! Maybe a part 2? :) Btw I’m a hardcore mac fan, and still kind of like your frankenMac ;) Keep up you good work :)
I wish we could see the potential of M1 family chips without the low power constraints, this looks freaking cool! I can't remember the last time I've been so pleased with my a macbook (I have the M1 Max maxed out) and I'm a developer, I will skip the M2 and probably go for M3 next year.
I love this sunday monstertruck rally vibe. I wanna see two members of the LTT crew have a clock-off; both get the same system, but they get to tune it up however they like. Anthony vs. Linus would be a fun one.
You should make a standard aftermarket turbo kit that includes an acrylic or glass enclosure that fits over the entire turbo kit. I realize that would ruin the thermals, but it'll look like a giant vacuum tube!
Pick yourself up a 3M Rugged Comfort Quick Latch Half Facepiece Reusable Respirator 6502QL/49490 (medium size) and some P2097 or 2091 (P100 rated) filter cartridges. You will not regret it at all. I use mine all the time for any grinding, sanding, painting, etc and it is SO much more comfortable/better at filtering the air than the disposable masks!
