Now that people are receiving theirs has anyone tested the high end i7 chip under full load? I'm curious what the temps are and if it can handle it for hours on end for handbrake video encoding?
BTO pre-orders came today. Of all styles. I got my i7 today.The i7 isn’t available until next week but I’m curious if anyone got it early too.
Hi, my i7 also came today and has this weird noise resemble an old mechanical drive, here is a video of it:BTO pre-orders came today. Of all styles. I got my i7 today.
Idle: Sitting around 47C
Converting a few random videos in handbrake, CPU usage is at 850%-1100%: Temp seems stable around 59-59.5C
Update: It's been going for 15 minutes non-stop and we've creeped up to 59.8! This thing is as cool as a cucumber. The air output is significantly higher than on the 2012s and it might be quieter at load as well.

Does yours also have this weird noise? thanks!
sorry for the low quality video, the volume is quite low, but there are some buzzing noise.No? I can't really hear anything in your video, but mine isn't making any unusual noises.
Thanks so much! That's actually much better than I expected!BTO pre-orders came today. Of all styles. I got my i7 today.

Thanks for the reply! did try all that but none have worked. Could it be PSU or SSD?It might be coming from the internal speaker, like some sort of interference noise. Try moving it or use a different power outlet, or unplug some devices connected to it?

Guess that means the i7 has hyper threading?

I didn't notice any throttling after 40 minutes, nor should they be throttling at <60C. These processors should easily handle up to 80C according to the gaming crowd. I think they don't throttle until 100CAny thermal throttling after video encoding for long periods of time?

It stays under 60 degrees under heavy load?
I am sold. Saw RAM upgrade instructions, now this...that’s it. Can’t wait till December.
I have my i7. This thing runs HOT when in idle, like I would not put my hand on it.The i7 isn’t available until next week but I’m curious if anyone got it early too.

yeah, I suppose it's the same ssd coil whine issue mbp users have.Hear some buzzing sound like coil whining.
That's unfortunate. Tjunction is 100c though i'm not entirely sure what that is. Perhaps it throttles when it hits that temp?Update. I may have led you all very astray with those obscenely low temps. The app I was monitoring temps with, Fanny, was giving me only the CPU proximity temp, not the core/die temps...
So, with that being said, at load this baby is getting up to a peak of 100C, though it floats around 92-96 at load. This is using both Mac Fan control and Intel Power Gadget
