MBP 16 Max fan speed (rpm) is less than should be

Dear MBPR16 owners,

Could You please mention your maximum fan speed (you can find it using Macs Fan Control) and also your computer configuration. Many have left: 5600RPM, right: 5200RPM, I generally have left: 5200RPM, right: 4900RPM. Why do I have less then others?

The fan speed is dependent on the demand to provide sufficient cooling. Let the operating system manage cooling. Don't use third party apps for things that the MacOS handles very well.
