Can 65 core GPU MAC studio fix Fan noise problem w/ multicam recording?

[lpobs]

Anyone have a Mac Studio (Apple M1 Ultra with 20-core CPU, 64-core GPU, 32-core Neural Engine)
That is running OBS w/ multicam (2-3 cameras)
For recording only
????

Curious to know if it an handle this load (with all it's gpu's etc.) without the fans blowing higher than baseline (no load)
My 2017 MacBook Pro can handle it, cpu stays low but gpu is basically maxed out and fans are loud.

I don't have that particular model, i have the 20core CPU, 48core GPU. What are your settings? Because I have tested both x264 (CPU) and VT Hardware (GPU) with the settings below, and it works great!

4k base
4k scale
100,000 KBPS (100mb)
320 audio
Lanczos down scaler (not that it'll matter I'm not downscaling anything)
MKV Format or AVI Raw
I use 5 Cameras all with overlays and complex scenes (about 3-8 video sources, 1-3 picture sources and 1-2 audio sources)

I don't have a Mac Studio, have a 2017 MacBookPro and no matter what settings I try in OBS my fans kick on prolly medium speed and it's too loud for music performance recording.

I saw a lot of people complain the Mac Studio out of the box had a mildly loud fan w/ some strange pitch noises. And was interested to see if people using Mac Studio heard any fan speed increase during their multicam OBS sessions.

Like I stated earlier I have a Mac Studio and there's 0 issues with it. I have not heard my fans turn on at all. I'm sure they have but I haven't heard them and I've pushed it to the limit with some videos I rendered in 8k. For the people who complained about their MacStudio, it's probably a manufacturing issue, best to call Apple and have them swap it with a new one. That would be my suggestion. I have streamed with both OBS, SLOBS to Facebook and Twitch and I recorded all at the same time with the settings I mentioned earlier and I still did not hear my fans.

So going back to your question. Your 2017 MacBookPro. Your issue is the loudness of the fans correct? If so I have a few questions for you:

1. What are your recording settings?
2. What specs does your 2017 MBP have?
3. Are you only recording?
