Hi Guys,
I received my rMBP yesterday and have been playing around with it constantly as you'd expect.
I've started converting some mp4s to iPad playable versions in iTunes just now and the fans seem much louder than they should be. I just wanted to check how loud your fans are compared to mine.
What I did to test this was download a free iPhone app called Decibel Meter Free, and rested it on my trackpad whilst the files were converting. The level recorded was around 63db, which by my understanding is about the level of a normal conversation.
If I held the iPhone above the F5 button on the keyboard, which I consider to be about the loudest point, it was around 75db. Definitely louder than my previous 13" White Macbook.
I run iStat Pro and my fans were running at 5866rpm for the right and 5417rpm for the left.
My CPU was at 45degrees and my GPU at 60degrees, GPU diode at 65degrees.
The Macbook Pro was just on my desk, flat. Nothing obstructing the fans or anything.
Is there any chance anyone else can test also? I'm just a bit paranoid that something may be wrong with the fans. If there is something wrong I'm going to Melbourne in two weeks so I could get them to have a look.
Thanks for your time anyway.
