We FIXED Apple’s New MacBook Pro

[AlexTheGreatish]

WARRANTY VOID. We knew it would come to this, but can some good old fashioned LTT engineering fix the Core i9 MacBook Pro 2018's thermals?

can't fix the garbage pricing of i9's

Please tell me they just stuck a air cooler on the bottom with thermal paste

watching this and the GN's video about the 2080ti, i get the felling this things are so expensive just for the screw management part of this things. Ridiculous

Spoiler alert, liquid metal causes lower temperatures, less noise, and better performance.

You know what? Is there a reason as to why a laptop OEM could not solder their heat sync to the dies of the CPU & GPU? Sure they would get flack for it, but if it meant bringing thermals down.....I mean I think Apple would go for it.

Probably more expensive and not something most of Apple customers are going to notice

Uhm, acutally the liquid metal application almost gave me ASMR. lol.

FWIW bottom screws don't need to be in for it to turn on. The 2016 and newer models just sit on a black screen for 15-30s after battery is disconnected. And apples official documentation is that everything has to come out for the MLB to be swapped. This sucks because if you replace the keyboard it comes as a assembly with the palm rest, so you take everything out of the old unit and transplant it onto a new case

 

Personally I would love to see a portable water-cooling solution for this - radiators sewn to a backpack? I'd be happy to have as many people playing on switches in the background to make that happen.

So there you go, top tip, if you have a nice unibody all-aluminium chassis, place some gallium inside to see fewer temps. Hope Apple can pick up on this soon.

This video spoke deep inside me and uncovered seventeen year old flashbacks of trying to not wake up the camp counselor.

So ....you replaced the TIM....

 

 

Initially when the water cooling kit was out i though, hey this looks interesting ..ridiculous, but interesting, I wonder how exactly they will do it...i know how i would,, but i wanna see how they do it.

annnnd.... then you just replace the TIM.

 

disappointing

Yeah liquid metal in laptops in a horrible idea. Drys up over time. Better use a good old fashioned paste. Set it and forget it.

Maybe a peltier based laptop cooling pad would do the trick, but they don't exist and would increase power consumption of the laptop-system by 10x easily. 

Better to buy a laptop with better cooling that can be Macified.

Since LTT is something I believe to be extreme, why don't you try to replace the apple pentalobe and torque screws with the normal screws that we know and love? I think it is possible on most macbooks.

We'd need to buy a lot of specialty screws, much rather just buy an iFixIt
