14" or 16"...? How's the temp and fan speed like...?

16” and literally silent.

16” and literally silent. Hard to believe really but zero fan noise whatsoever. It has the 140W power adapter and I’ve manually toggled it to High perf setting. First results are in and the tasks are completing in approx 2h5m (-7500 secs). That’s with boinc client set to use 80% available cpu and it correctly loads up the 8 high perf cores and leaves the 2 efficiency cores alone. 

sudo powermetrics tells me the following

clock speed: 3.2ghz

cpu power draw: 35w

package power:42w

I can’t find thermals anywhere but I’ll keep searching. I’m not up to date on terminal commands (never was to begin with) but I’m sure there’s some native command that should report temps.

Googling says this for temps

Googling says this for temps on M1.

  • Install TG Pro (download) on your Mac (make sure you download the version for Apple Silicon
  • Launch the app and you will see it show up as a menu bar app, complete with your CPU temperatures on the icon itself. You can also see more detailed information within the app window.

Cool, glad you found

Cool, glad you found something easy and lightweight.

I don't know why *nix based OS' have such crappy temperature and sensor reporting compared to Windows.

I have an M1 mac mini running Monterey 12.3.1.  How are you displaying the cool graph for each core?

It seems the current app version (1.12) doesn't have a graphics app. I'll fix that in 1.14.

I noticed that recently the Starsphere screensaver started working on my M1 mac-mini again.   It just occurred to me that this was right after the OS-X update to 12.3.1.

Just set up my M1


Just set up my M1 Ultra system.

All 20-cores at 100%, total package power is at ~83W, average CPU temp is at 68c.

Top terminal is asitop, which parses the powermetrics command output https://github.com/tlkh/asitop

Can't see your list of

Can't see your list of computers... Do report in once your RAC tops out... I'm interested to know how high the Ultras can go, I'll estimate around 40k RAC for current WUs, 80k to 100k for shorter WUs which are rarities nowadays...
