Comment on visionOS thermally throttles based on how much it hears the fans in the mics

Comments

For those who are confused: the title is a bit misleading, it's actually the other way people might expect (if you read the thread)

Noisy environment: turn the fans all the way as the user -> more cooling -> processor doesn't throttle

Quiet environment: turn the fans down -> processor throttles

Oh, that makes sense. As well as a fact that screaming on a pc will make it work quicker.

For VR perf its probably a bad idea to throttle the performance. A better goal would be to balance user comfort. You can trade noise for thermal comfort.
