Can you measure decibels at idle? There are a ton of apps free on App Store. Maybe you'll share some pics? Benchmarks too? I don't wanna stress you, I'm just curious about the hardware itself and, much more, about the Radeon Pro cards. Leg me explain, we know on windows RX and Pro cards differ by driver implemented, optimized for gaming (RX) or for pro apps (Pro), but, since in MacOS the driver stuff is totally handled by Apple itself, I'm really curious about differences between something like your Pro W5500 and the RX 5500 XT. I suspect there's no difference at all given the X6000 driver recognizes the Navi 14 chip and handles all the cards with the same chip equally but I can be wrong, maybe someone here knows about this things in a proper way?!
See my edited post above. I'm not sure how accurate to measure the decibels but shoving my phone right next to it (with side panel open) was around low 40s. Think my AIO pump is louder (it's running at higher RPM)
