I ordered the pads thanks! I have a wowstick with the pentelope (P5) screwhead. Do you need the suction cup to remove the back cover or can you do it without it?
To save a bit of money and less wasted leftover thermal pads, just order one 1.5mm and for the thicker part stack two sheets...most thermal pads sold are enough to cover all with 1 sheet. yes there may be slight loss of thermal transmission by stacking them but I'm using 12w/mk rated ones so should be sufficient.
Rather than applying a two thermal pads covering the whole of the heat sink, it would be best to only add it to the end of the heat pipe furthest away from the M1 chip set. The thicker dark blue thermal pad only. The heat pipe is there for a reason to draw the heat away from the chip so that the heat exits from the left hand side as seen, not the centre. This helps ensure the power regulators next to the SOC chip are subjected to less direct heat from the hot back case.
You are mistaken, the same heat is gonna be there either way, especially when the chip is working hard. So yeah use every surface available to draw the heat away from the chip and into the back chassis. Really the whole top part should be covered with it, for the best heat dissipation
@@DoorisJ Both of you are right for the wrong reasons. If you put less thermal pads the mod will be less effective and arrive at the max chassis temperature later, which actually might be preferrable if you want less of a chance you'll burn yourself. The "keeping the power regulators cooler" part might be true too, but I don't think it'll have as significant an impact
Anything that pull heat out of the case bottom will help a lot. A steel, marble or granite tile will work wonders. The only problem with these passive approaches (as opposed to fans) is that they all have a limit based on thermal conductivity and thermal mass of the passive elements, but with the plus that they are totally silent.
May I suggest you do a video on temperature test on the back of the laptop with: 1) temps on - normal everyday usage such as web browsing, emails, PowerPoint, excel, TH-cam. 2) temps on - heavy task such as video editing, and so on. Reason being some people might want to do this mod but worry it heats up their lap on a normal usage basis. But when they want to do heavy load tasks, they can just plug it on a cooler and a dock. This is ideal provided if (hopefully) normal tasks are not uncomfortably hot on the touch.
There's literally no way Apple will ever know you did this mod since there are no hardware modifications. The pads just peel off whenever you're done with them.
@@thedude9418 Even if they did know by seeing the battery temp history or some crazy, Apple like thing. They'd have to prove it specifically that it caused the issue and what not. I'd like to hope they have better things to do, who knows though lol - Also seems like they'd say something by now if this was an issue, has been a known mod for a while
The heat problem in the case or the battery problem can be solved by placing the MacBook Air on an aluminium disc about 4-5 mm thick and about 200 mm in diameter. The heat is then transferred to the desk via the rear casing, which heats up considerably, via the aluminium round plate that lies directly against the casing. This worked particularly well for me as my desk has a glass top and this absorbs the heat well. Wood alone may not be so good. In my case, the centre of the disc is roughly where the CPU is. This means that the disc protrudes slightly beyond the Macbook Air.
Thanks for sharing! but u didn't provide the exact size! I have to look it up into my macbook myself. For my measurement, the left squre is 4.2cm*4.6cm, the right one is 2.1x 3.3 + 6.7x3.6 so for the pad we needed, it is like, we need 20 square cm for 3mm thick, and 31 square cm for 1.5mm thick.
Many other mods are more complicated even scratch off old thermal paste. This looks more simple. Only concern is the cost of the needed things if not living in USA
Thanks for showing us how to mod the MacBook Air. This is a really good mod for the MacBook Air. Besides the slightly better battery life on the MacBook Pro the MacBook Air is probably the better choice out of the 2 computers especially with this mod. The thing I like about the MacBook Air besides it being signifcantly cheaper then the MacBook Pro is that there are no moving parts (fan) that can break and that it is completely silent. Plus less chances of the inside of the computer collecting dust etc. I really appreciate all the effort and time that you put into these videos... Awesome channel! 👍🏼👊🏽😎
to those considering to put the thermal pad only in 1 area, if you noticed the thermal camera image, the hottest area is directly above the chip itself... in other words you could just buy the 1.5mm pad and be done with it just at the area above the chip... the yellow part of the thermal camera with the highest heat spot is to the right of the center top left screw so its basically above the m1 chip itself... and if the area where the 3mm pads were to also transfer heat, then at the very least, the area just bellow the screw should also be as close to the yellow color as the area just above the chip to indicate that the heat actually choose to transfer to that 3mm pad area at all...
In order to really get the maximum performace, you 100% SHOULD remove the black tape-like material. It is actually thermal INSULATING tape, meaning that your thermal pads won't be nearly as helpful as they should be. It doesn't need to be scratched off, it can simply be peeled off like a sticker. Note that doing this will make the bottom of the MacBook much hotter (imo) but it means that the heat actually will be transferred somewhere.
And it also means you will instantly void your warranty, while you at least have a chance if you leave it be. At the end of the day you will see minimal performance gains by scratching off that insulation.
while i won't mind if it does increase the performance of my MB Air, the main reason i've done the mod is to hopefully increase the components lifespan by allowing it to cool down faster/better on cpu/gpu intensive tasks (mainly gaming in my case), especially considering i live in a place where it's warm pretty much all year round (80F on average, with peaks up to 90+F).
I bought that iFixit kit and never could get that suction cup to work. I ended up sticking more and more of those blue guitar pics all round the edges until it finally popped open.
this mod is working pretty well, but it is going to kill your battery. The battery can rich 45C easily. So I can confirm it is not safe if you don't cool down the bottom aluminium cover plate.
Just did the mod on my M1. And I opened my back case and there was already a kind of foam (pad) on the back.. In every video I don't see this pad on their case. So is there a difference in EU and US version?
@@jale05x Do you have a way to verify that? I have been asking around and no one is willing to let me open theirs up so I have had a look inside them yet.
Hmm... Nice one Perhaps I could make one for my other devices as well. Put a thermal conductivity pad behind my phone covered with the Phone Casing. Probably that would help especially when playing games or capturing video. Thanks, pal.
can you do the same mod on MacBook pro? since the heat is the worst enemy, will this thermal mod decrease temp even more or keep it under 70 c longer for the fan to turn on? can you do the test?
wow, that was easy. When I buy the actual Mac I would consider adding this hardware mod it nearly harmful and I doubt that apple could void the warranty still *^*
Thanks for the tutorial. Was wondering about this: Since the M1 Macbook Air doesn't have a fan, does it have any vents (maybe around the hinge)? Or is it a completely sealed device? Thanks in advance
Thanks for all tests. Is that a bese line M1 Air? 8GB RAM 8 CPU and 7 GPU? In one of your videos you mention that this is 1 les GPU core than 13" MacBook Pro M1. I got M1 Air 16GB RAM 8/8 CPU/GPU. I wonder what speeds I would get. Just ordered thermal pads 12W/mK. THX
I would like a laptop chiller pad that sits flush against the backplate of the M1 MacBook Air, that conducts %100 of the heat. What is the best way that you know of to quickly chill the backplate of the MacBook Air ??
I have an honest question.....do you think that putting the thermal pads onto the case ontop of where the CPU and GPU is would work the same?. It may be easier to remove the thermal pads off the bottom case cover than ontop of the CPU and GPU because the heat is going to cause some melting of the stickiness.
Hey, have you tested only applying the thermal pad on the left side? I think it may help spread heat, but at the same time not make the lid too hot. Idk though
The performance boost you’d get wouldn’t be nearly as good as it’d be less effective at cooling down the processor. The processor slows when hot, which slows the performance. I’d be better just to set it on top of a desk, or lay something on your lap if you do this. Oven mitts, maybe lol?
That’s what I wanna know! Lol likely not worth it though as the MacBook Pro has the fan and I can’t see thermal pads adding much cooling ability beyond that.
A rule of thumb for taking care of lithium battery is that you shouldn't let it stay at high voltage (high percentage, normally over 90%) all the time. So drain the battery down to 20% at least once a week, that's what I do with my M1 mabook air.
@@pinguman13 yes but there are videos on TH-cam where people apply thermal pads on heat sink on MBP 16 & 15. So was curious if it would work ok 13 as well.
it can be done on any macbook, just put it on the cpu heatsink plate, you just need to know the distance from the cpu to back plate, most likely 1.5, but you can measure it with a small piece of play dough, look it up on youtube, and watch other models' to get an idea
Acutally no notebook company will do this since this will make the case super hot and burn people lap's skin, the maker always place a stick in the back cover to isolate heat not transfer to the back cover, what you do is the exact oppositeof this.
Re-Screwing the back plate in order around the the back plate will most likely warp the back plate no? Should you not re screw in an opposite side pattern?
I just can't keep wondering why didn't they did this on mac (not so) mini and iMac instead of fans. Totally quiet and in case of Mini several times smaller as well. And maybe they could add extra function to Mac Mini and call it iCook. 😂
linus explains why they had to sacrfice not using thermal pads mini surface area is less and the imac using fans will draw heat out of the body will sustain professional workloads
Your mbP has a fan inside to cool things down,, so you don't need to perform this mod. The MacBook Air is fanless and has an easy-access heatsink which is why this mod works on it.
Hi, I did it on my 13inch mbp 2017 no touch bar, the gap from cpu to back plate was 1.5 mm , your is most likely the same, but you can check it by opening the back putting a small piece of play dough on the spot, press close the lid, then measure the thickness of the play dou to know, remember to remove the heat insulating black plastic layer on the back plate first(this alone should also help with cooling) And then just search online for thermal pad, they will make you choose your thickness, make sure to pay attention to the heat conductivity(10+ is good). Let me know if you have more question

You will just transfer the extra heat through the back cover and onto the battery, reducing its lifespan, as the battery is very sensitive to heat.

@@NaveedKhanYT same
great idea
what happens if you add thermalpads to the batteries?
I have a suggestion. Try to use the magnetic cooler for mobile at the back of the casing. Like shark magnwtic cooler
My m1 is on battery saver mode I lost performance but never more 60°c it’s always faster and cool, if I disable temperature is hot
A 30% increase in rendering time would bug ma like crazy. 🙃

Get in lads
Why not using 1,5mm Alloy or Copper with thin Thermal Paste applied? Alloy: 200 λ (W/(m*K)) - Copper: 380 λ - Thermal Pads: 5 λ

Could you do some gaming testing and see if it makes a difference to FPS?
I've seen some tests and it seems that it only gets hot in sustained work loads. Renders etc. Which I'm pretty sure I would just do on a desk anyways.
Yeah I'm interested in fps in gaming too.
Won't the heat be distributed to the battery? Which could hurt it's lifespan.
how would apple see if you opened the air or not?

I have an honest question.....do you think that putting the thermal pads onto the case ontop of where the CPU and GPU is would work the same?. It may be easier to remove the thermal pads off the bottom case cover than ontop of the CPU and GPU because the heat is going to cause some melting of the stickiness.
Not sure if this will cause damage to the battery considering the heat dissipation
same thoughts, maybe it will make sense to add some thermal isolation layer between batteries and back cover
What conducibility values do you advice for the best safe result? 3, 6, 12....6W/mK? Thanks
the higher the better

do you think this can somehow affect the warranty? I have a 2 year warranty, I would not want to lose it
don't , just wait till it expires, it's not that long anyways, plus, then you would have more of a need for it
this seems like a one way ticket to a premature expanded battery
What do you mean by this in simpler terms?
@@alexanderforever That the dissipated heat will hit the battery leading to faster ageing
do you think that would also make sense with the MacBook pro m1?
Unikely, because MacBook Pro M1 has an active fan. And it activates under load.
Will this void the warranty?
If we pill of the thermal pad after some time will it still affect the warranty
Can you do a tutorial for the MacBook Pro as well please!
The Pro doesn't need to be modded? It has fans already. Thermal pads would be impossible to apply without removing the fans etc.

They won't unless someone messes up and leaves them inside of it or they tell an Apple employee that they did it.
Would like to do this to 2018 MBP 15”. Did you cover that ever?
Your mbP has a fan inside to cool things down,, so you don't need to perform this mod. The MacBook Air is fanless and has an easy-access heatsink which is why this mod works on it.
@@wearecontendmusic But my fan doesn't cool to my satisfaction.
Hi, I did it on my 13inch mbp 2017 no touch bar, the gap from cpu to back plate was 1.5 mm , your is most likely the same, but you can check it by opening the back putting a small piece of play dough on the spot, press close the lid, then measure the thickness of the play dou to know, remember to remove the heat insulating black plastic layer on the back plate first(this alone should also help with cooling)
And then just search online for thermal pad, they will make you choose your thickness, make sure to pay attention to the heat conductivity(10+ is good).
Let me know if you have more question
