Pro-tip: unplug all the fans and enjoy the silence

Why not go even further? Just switch off the pesky temperature limits in the bios.

Why not go even further? Just switch off the pesky computer entirely. No noise, not even coil whine.

Can't you see we are trying to make some smokey omelette with a side of burnt silicon and plastic here?

truly programmers are minor gods, they even have a choir of angels singing as things are brought to creation from nothing.

While brushing my teeth I just spat out half of my toothpaste while reading this!

Years ago, while I was a poor students I compiled Gentoo on an overclocked Celeron CPU at whopping 533 MHz. Took literally 3 days to get to a functioning KDE desktop.

Worth every second, especially because it was winter and the dorm room was cold. My friends appreciated it too, they nicknamed my desktop "the reactor" for all the warmth it provided compiling all the damn time.

Enable "power saver" mode and enjoy your quiet, extra long coffee break ☕

When a co-worker notice, just feign ignorance: "what?! who set my workstation to power save mode?"

laughs in M1 Silicon

Has less to do with the CPU architecture and more with the thermal and fan configuration.

I would assume macs have much higher quality fans due to them having a reputation to uphold.

[-] aport@programming.dev 9 points 1 year ago

As someone who has compiled a ton of software on a lot of different laptops, Apple Silicon provides ridiculous performance per watt.

My M1 Pro macbook not only compiles emacs faster than my desktop with a 5600X, but the fans don't even turn on.

[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Apple gives you a lot more silicon, and then clocks it lower, making it far more power efficient. You can do the same thing with other hardware, it just tends to be pushed to the max instead.

It's a matter of configuration (well, and price).

[-] paperbenni@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Luckily the arm macs don't need fans most the time. They do have a finite amount of ram though, and boi, is Linux virtualization inefficient on mac
