Mac Studios WARM when in sleep mode

I have two base model Mac Studios, both have three studio displays attached to them, all are running the most current Mac OS and firmware, using the Apple thunderbolt cables that came with the displays.

I have tried several different configurations with energy saver and when the computer is set to go to sleep… Fan spin down, displays turn off and the computer gets quite warm but when I wake it up and the fans kick on within about five minutes the display is dramatically cooler to the touch and if I've been using it for a couple of hours, it is truly cool to the touch.

And has anyone else with this issue been able to fix it?

You are not the first to report this issue.

You should contact Apple Support and send Feedback.

In the mean time, I suggest only turning off the display(s) and let the Mac Studio sit idle with the fan on during the day,

then do a full shutdown if your not going to use it for an extended period of time.

I will call them and see if I can get to an engineering team.

Just left feedback on their website. What a bummer; to miss something so obvious in quality testing.

Yeah’ seems like maybe some more firmware tweaking is needed.

Again I recommend contacting Apple Support to see if you can escalate this issue past first tier to technically or engineering support.
