INSTALLING FAN - this is the only real fix macbook air 2020

its 2024 hows the macbook air still running @carcrazy2424

Hey, my 2020 Mac air is making a static noise after doing this fix, is this a problem and has anyone else had this issue?

It's a great idea and so simple. I don't have this macbook but thanks for the idea! Transfer the heat through direct contact to the aluminum chassis, why not if it's this easy! Aluminum is a great material for a heatsink! Most heatsinks are aluminum afterall. As someone else in the comments has said, if you don't mind permanently modifying your laptop, remove that black tape for better contact directly to the aluminum.

Working for me

i got an i5 model for only 500 basically brand new, im thinking about doing this mod.

Dude, slow down. You are talking and moving 100 mph. Great otherwise. Slower and methodically pls :))

I like your video. I noticed your case (very nice btw) doesn't have a bottom to it. My case does have a bottom and my fan has started coming on more and more. Do you think removing the bottom of the case would cause the fan to come on less?

i hope this works my macbook air 2020 gets to 200F with legit nothing running, its so annoying

there is a tunnel, a cover with a body and spacers. a fan pushes air through the tunnel. you closed the air passage through the tunnel, parts may burn out from overheating.

I did it finally! Thermal pad improved my 2019 macbook air by alittle bit but the big change came when I put the copper shim and applied new thermal paste! It is a big change and basically didnt see my macbook go above 60 celsius in the CPU while doing normal work as before it would go to 99 just watching netflix.... There is not a huge improvement in the performance but staying cool makes it not lagg at all! Do it if u have 2018-2020 intel macbook airs! Oh and removing the insulating pad on the back of the macbook case improved cooling as well!

i think the issue with this, is the heatsink being too short , also it doesnt have any seal between the fan and the heatsink.

apple made a shitty desing and the blamed intel for it

i used this method and it helped a little bit but I'm still just frustrated that the fan isnt attached to the cpu. My cpu will be at 100 degrees while the fan blows out lots of cold air. Super annoying, terrible engineering.

This has significantly decreased the CPU temperatures, thank you so much for the video! Quite the cheap yet effective fix!

this is what people get for $1k fuck me apple are shite lol

extra tip for for anyone else undertaking this mod: don't forgot to remove the insulating tape from the back cover, it's not going to transfer heat effectively to the chassis if there's an insulator in the way.

Excellent video! However I am just wondering if your still working on the video testing the effectiveness of the copper shim? I'm curious if it will bring the temps down even more during normal use?

That black tape on the chassis is thermal insulator. If removed, result should be better.

I am not really interested in any performance gain, honestly I would just like the bottom of the laptop to not burn me. This mod would make it worse, if anything.. right?

what thickness should we choose for the termal pad when installing on a MacBook Air 2018?

Do you know if this would work on the i3 model as well? I'm thinking of doing this thermal pad mod on top of the copper shim modification on both my i5 and i3 model. Thanks!

This isnt even the M1… nobody gives a crap about these models anymore

Hey this is cool, but will this void my warranty on my MacBook? Also if I decide to trade it in to apple, will I have to remove the thermal pad?

"SOLVED" MACBOOK OVERHEATING // th-cam.com/video/9onJsaiA8Fg/w-d-xo.html

This video is all over the place 🤣 just show equal-load temperature deltas so we can quantify the difference 🤦‍♂️

I dont see how you can say this is working when the cpu hits 100° instantly and then is bottlenecked

hmmm... would u make the "before after" benchmark test sir? it would be great

If you do this mod does it imped the airflow across the CPU and out of the exhaust port?

what screw type for cpu cooler

Bro still waiting for the copper shim mod

Will this improve the fan and make it less noisy?

Buy a M1 MacBook Air lol

hey I would like to ask if the 2019 macbook air model would be helped with the same mod? does it make it faster or anything? i got the 2019 i5 1.6gh with 8gb of ram looks simmilar inside

would removing some of the fan casing do anything?

Is 1.5mm the thickest you can get, or can I get away with 2,0mm or even 3,0mm as well?

Had similar mod on my 2015 i7 MB Pro, it really helped with temp at low load, but later i experienced other issues with this mod, chassis is overheating battery which tremendously reducing it life span later leads to battery swallow, same problem we have in surface pro book, they placed heat pipes right on the battery, same issue...

It's still hot?

Is there anything better? 6.0 W/mK is okay, but I bought the one with the i7 cpu which gets a little bit hotter. Any other compounds with better heat performance, were unfortunately electric conductive.

I have purchased a model with i7 don't ask ik I it's not that good but imma add this and I will benchmark it and compare for you

my mba 2020 i3 base model (Aug 2020) lowest spec is downloading asphalt 8 using the epic games installer. its 43GB and this is the only time I've noticed high CPU temps of 94C (nothing more) (space / room temp is 23.3C). I am not sure if its a reason to do this mod but it makes me feel like I made a bad buy. The computer doesn't run slower its just louder and hot at the top of the keyboard. other than that. when use 2020 photoshop and a lot of other intense apps. the temps is usually around 55-65 70 for the most (app start up) and the noise and heat is low to not noticeable. I guess it's okay if its only during constant "write disks" time. meh. first and maybe last MacBook...only some time will tell

this is atrocious.. with their hundred billion dollars they couldnt put proper cooling in their own products? why?

Can believe 1000 dollar laptop still need DIY modified . Scam

Tbh this is actually a bad design choice by apple themselves. they only had to do was connect the fan to the heatsink with a pipe. Considering the price of this MacBook they should have done that.

No heatpipe??? What drug is apple on?

Hey did you put any thermal paste on that or you just slap the thermal pad in and done?

Hey man, most of people said you have to take off that black pad on the aluminium cover so you trnasfer heat from processor to the aluminium back (then the aluminium back is super hot and you lose varranty),but you left it there. Had you any problems with the macbook since than? I really want to try this but still, i am little bit afraid. Thanks

Can anyone try this on a MacBook Pro 13 base model 2020 or 2019 (8th gen i5 )

doesn’t doing this make the warranty go away because of “device tampering”?

Damn, Linus sure did take a complicated path here
