How many CFM do the blowers on a Mac Studio move?

[transmaster]

I have found a good cheap solution the the dust issue the Mac Studio may or may not have, filter foam, it comes in various porosities, 30 PPI is good for 18 CFM. I am unable to pin down how many CFM the blowers on the Mac Studio move when at max rpm, I want to match the CFM properties of the filter foam with the on board blowers. There is a thread dedicated to this issue.

30 pores per inch isn't a very fine filter, so a lot of dirt will pass through. I use this 65 PPI foam that's designed for motorsport engines that have massive air flow rates compared to the Studio fan's CFM. The foam is mounted in this unit:

The unit is plastic so the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth antennas are not shielded.

Your question ignores the foam filter area presented to the air flow. Obviously, a 5 square inch filter will have more resistance to air flow than say my 60 sq. in. filter. Consequently your filter overall design is important. Foam thickness also factors into dirt holding capacity.

Using just the foam double height works too, and the flow area is the same for 1" foam (60 sq. in.)
