Proper Water Cooled Macbook!!

Hey Linus, Try to make a proper water-cooled Macbook using water-block, pump & radiator!! Please make a video to show what is its performance. If a proper system is created we could know the accurate performance!! Please Do It!!

we already know the performance. Doing a complete "proper" setup would be completely re-engineering the laptop and completely defeat its purpose. You'd be making it  a desktop adding all that stuff on. Just mounting all that hardware to the laptop PCB would be a nightmare (and by nightmare I mean zipties. Lots of zipties).

Yeah but its Linus, he knows to do it in the easy way!! Exposing the Processor and other elements and gluing a water block will do the job!! He might have bigger ideas!!

Gluing a water block to what your trying to cool insulates the water block from the item your trying to cool and is counter-intuitive. He sat the laptop in a pool of cool water when the laptop is already designed to use the entire case as a heat sink therefore he was directly cooling the laptop's components.

But its not actually doing the job as it takes time to absorb the heat from the whole body!! If it absorbs the heat directly from the processor, it does not heat up the other things inside it, which improves the performance!!

The laptop was designed to cool everything with the chassis. Cooling the chasis cools everything. There's no real time delay in this process, thats not how thermodynamics works; It's a constant exchange. Watch the video. Also you're not quoting anyone when replying so no one will know you even are replying. Make sure you quote whoever you're replying to or @Alwin Mathew Jacob them.

Thank you @suchamoneypit for the suggestion!! I don't think so because the thermal throttling suggests that cooling is not in a best way!!

There is an easy way to water cool a laptop

Buy one

But it is not a MacBook.

You cannot water cool a laptop especially if it is a thin form factor

The effort to watercool the laptop far outweighs any possible benefits. The CPU is non-overclockable and even the increased benchmarks don't really translate to real life performance. (and besides that, the user that wishes to do CPU heavy tasks nearly never chooses a MacBook.
