WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.600
Okay, Apple. I know this is going to sound a little crazy, but what if the

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:09.360
MacBook Air actually moved some air

00:00:07.600 --> 00:00:14.639
around so it didn't thermal throttle after 2 minutes of any kind of work?

00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:19.680
Well, believe it or not, it can. And without even adding any fans, all we

00:00:17.119 --> 00:00:24.240
need is a couple of these. Mindus, I don't use a MacBook. Why should I care?

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:29.279
And the answer is because anything Apple does, the entire rest of the copycat PC

00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:32.880
industry does like 3/4 later. So, if we can get them to adopt this kind of cool

00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:37.520
stuff, then maybe the rest of us have a chance. There's only a couple parts of

00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:42.239
this operation that might be a bit difficult to perform. Like this

00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:47.200
difficult segue to our sponsor, Ridge. Christmas

00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:51.760
is coming up and you know what that means? Buying presents for everyone. But

00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:57.039
Ridge can lessen the impact on your wallet, pun intended, with sales of up

00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:59.199
to 30% off. Go grab a fantastic stocking

00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:02.719
stuffer from Ridge down below. For our convenience, Four Systems has sent along

00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:06.640
an example of what this should look like when we're done. Emphasis on the should.

00:01:05.119 --> 00:01:10.880
There's no way mine will be that clean. Let's get started. Step one is to remove

00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:16.560
our back cover with a pentalobe 5 screwdriver. Do you know what you're doing?

00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:19.759
Yeah, mom. It would sure work better.

00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:21.920
Put on a jacket. Oh, wow. That's cool.

00:01:19.759 --> 00:01:24.560
Look at that. It's even still flat. And now that this is removed, the

00:01:23.119 --> 00:01:29.680
modification we'll be making to accommodate our air jets is to remove

00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:32.640
300 microns. 300 microns. Yeah, it's not very much.

00:01:30.479 --> 00:01:36.240
How are we going to Good luck, everybody. What happens if I break it?

00:01:34.720 --> 00:01:41.520
One sec. We have instructions. We have instructions. You were just

00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.720
going to let me struggle on my own.

00:01:41.520 --> 00:01:46.640
There's a whole bunch of stuff coming out. These are Apple's wild force

00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:50.560
cancelling speakers. Each of these apparently has three speakers in it.

00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:54.159
They sound really good. Or at least I think they do. We're never going to hear

00:01:51.759 --> 00:01:58.399
them. They are not going back in. Our next step is to remove the ribbon cable

00:01:56.399 --> 00:02:01.040
from the Mag Safe connector and then shimmy out the Mag Safe. How are we

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:05.680
going to charge the thing? With the USB. With USB. Oh, we have no Mag Safe

00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:09.039
anymore. Did I mention yet that we're going to lose some functionality here?

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:12.959
Cuz we are. The point of this is not that you can just go buy a For air jet

00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:19.040
at the store and then install it in your MacBook Air. to show how the system

00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:20.720
could be cooled better and fanlessly if

00:02:19.040 --> 00:02:25.440
Apple engineered it in in the first place. So, sorry to disappoint you, but

00:02:24.160 --> 00:02:30.000
it's still going to be really cool. Oh, look at that. I reconnected some things.

00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:33.920
One minor oversight is if you remove MagSafe and the keyboard. Did I mention

00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:38.239
we're not going to be able to use the keyboard? Don't worry about it. The point is we're going to have no way of

00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:41.680
turning the device on and using it. So, we have to enable a feature in macOS

00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:46.720
that allows us to boot it up if we have a USBC charger attached, not Mags safe.

00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:50.879
It's Apple logic. We found the setting. It's allow accessories to connect

00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:53.440
always. It's under privacy and security. Sure. Better to shut it down before we do

00:02:53.040 --> 00:02:57.519
this. Oh, I might have just killed it. You have to shut it down before you

00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:02.080
disconnect the battery sometimes. Yes. Oh, boy. Yeah, it's bending. This is

00:03:00.239 --> 00:03:06.000
making me very nervous. You're sure this is supposed to come up? Yes. Yes.

00:03:06.720 --> 00:03:13.040
I dare you to lick it. Context. What we're looking at right now

00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:18.879
is the power supply. Alex, I will not be licking it. And also the M2 chip with

00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:23.120
its DRAM right next to it, which raises an interesting question. Is this the

00:03:20.640 --> 00:03:26.879
whole cooler for the M2? Guess so.

00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:32.000
No wonder this sucks. Yes, Apple. There was clearly no better way to do this.

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:36.640
Not even a little vapor chamber. Nothing. It does have a gap here.

00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:41.680
Do they have decent coolers on the latest generation Pros or Wait, we're still waiting for our samples.

00:03:39.440 --> 00:03:45.040
Yeah, when I say samples, I mean samples we bought. Apple doesn't send us stuff.

00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:51.040
It's like they don't like us for some reason. I don't know. We've never done anything

00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:52.400
awful to their computers ever.

00:03:51.040 --> 00:03:56.400
Here's the problem we're having a little think about right now. Our air jets need

00:03:54.640 --> 00:04:00.239
to be installed somewhere where they can draw air in through the filters on the

00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:04.720
top and then expel the air out the back of the system. We're thinking probably

00:04:02.239 --> 00:04:09.760
right around here. The issue is that's where Apple's keyboard and Touch ID

00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:14.959
daughterboard is. So, no keyboard. And Alex is sort of hoping

00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:19.600
that we could Yes. keyboard. It's not looking good. Would also be so

00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:22.160
easy to just move if these were not such fragile, stupid little connectors.

00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:28.400
Packed. Except for right there cuz we didn't pay enough.

00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:31.680
Okay. Hey, see not even ripped mostly a little.

00:04:31.173 --> 00:04:36.560
[laughter] Who needs a keyboard anyway? It's not even mechanical. Now comes the part

00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:42.639
where we drop all pretense of being careful and start cutting things.

00:04:38.400 --> 00:04:45.520
Goodbye audio jack ribbon cable. Oh.

00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:48.880
Oh no. Touch ID. Should have had Face ID.

00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:53.600
Now it's all coming together and you can see what the plan is going to be. We're

00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:59.520
going to have three AirJet minis here, here, and here. We are going to machine

00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:03.840
a little bit of extra space in the chassis so that there's actually room

00:05:00.960 --> 00:05:07.759
for them to intake air. And then we need a controller board for these things.

00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:11.440
Where is that going to go? Oh, that's why we ripped out the Mag Safe so we can

00:05:09.919 --> 00:05:14.400
actually connect this thing to power. We're just going to use a USB cable.

00:05:13.840 --> 00:05:20.000
Y nice. Our goal now is to get power to our air jets, which is done with this

00:05:18.479 --> 00:05:23.840
little board right here. Thing is though, uh, we don't have power going

00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:26.880
into this right yet. Now, you might be thinking that we could just take it off

00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:32.000
somewhere in here, but it's not quite that easy. First of all, uh from the

00:05:29.039 --> 00:05:36.880
battery, this connector is just super duper small. Probing, it's very

00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:41.520
difficult. And when they tried to, uh the whole thing went kablam. Also, you

00:05:39.440 --> 00:05:45.840
might be able to probe over here in sort of the power supply region of the main

00:05:43.440 --> 00:05:50.400
board, but uh they also [music] did that and it blew up again. So, instead, we're

00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:55.440
just going to be using USB power. You just simply pass the little thing

00:05:52.479 --> 00:05:58.240
through right here. Solder it together, making sure that you've already passed

00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:03.320
it through before you do that, and we should be good to go. Sorry, Mr. USB.

00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:11.440
Now, man, that's tight. You need to just

00:06:08.880 --> 00:06:15.160
squish this cable down a tiny bit or it won't go in at all.

00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:24.800
Not too bad. Now we have to attach the drive cables from our power to our air

00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:26.319
jets. This go right in here. For some

00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:32.160
strain relief, we're just going to fold these cables around like so. We got rid

00:06:29.840 --> 00:06:36.560
of the EMI shield, so we're going to be replacing that with more capton tape.

00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:41.039
There we go. Now, we just need to block off the rest of that mag safe hole using

00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:45.199
this tiny 3D printed [music] part. This is very important because we're going to

00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:49.360
be drawing in air from right here. It needs to cool the stuff on the logic

00:06:47.440 --> 00:06:53.280
board, come over and get exhausted over here. If we still have this gap, then

00:06:51.520 --> 00:06:56.880
the air just comes in there and it doesn't do what it needs to do. The next

00:06:55.440 --> 00:07:01.440
thing we have to do is put in this little TPU gasket. This right here just

00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:05.599
prevents recirculation of our hot air. We want all of it going out instead of

00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:09.120
coming on back in. But before we do that, we need to make sure that our air

00:07:06.880 --> 00:07:13.840
jets can go in here nice and tight. Means we need a little bit of vacuum

00:07:11.919 --> 00:07:16.944
lube. that. Boom. I I think I [music] have way too much. [laughter]

00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:24.880
Next thing we'll need is a piece of graphite. This acts as a heat spreader.

00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:30.560
Uh, okay, not a heat spreader, but a spreader of heat to make sure that when

00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:34.000
we have our vapor chamber sitting on top of it, we're not going to get a bunch of

00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:38.319
heat from that through to the keyboard, creating a hot spot. Take that, 5minute

00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:41.039
crafts. Look at how straight that line is. Would you look at that? There's a

00:07:39.919 --> 00:07:48.080
whole system for this and everything. And it's got a little split on the bottom. Nice. Oh, gross. Our t-shirts

00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:51.599
also work great as a cleaning cloth. ltstore.com.

00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:56.400
Ooh. While we're waiting for the next step, these are really cool. They're USB

00:07:54.160 --> 00:08:00.960
PD cables. So, you can see it's labeled 9V 5 amps. That's because if you were to

00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:07.039
plug in a regular cable, it would be limited to 5 vol and I believe.5 amps.

00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:10.639
That's because for USB PD to activate, so the higher amperages, higher

00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:15.120
voltages, there has to be a handshake that goes on. So these special cables

00:08:13.039 --> 00:08:18.479
have the handshake chip inside them. So you just plug them in and then they can

00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:21.360
grab whatever voltage they need for whatever device you want to plug in. In

00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:27.120
this case, their little controller board. Okay, now it's time to cut off

00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:29.759
our antenna. So we make a little

00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:36.479
incision and then we should be able to just peel it off. Very important though

00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:41.599
at this stage that I don't slice myself open. One. And two, that I don't break

00:08:39.680 --> 00:08:45.120
this plastic piece right here. I don't want to break this.

00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:49.839
Come on. O, don't worry. You guys are good. You're good. You're good. It's all good. It's

00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:53.839
all good. The Fore people are here to like show us how to use all this stuff.

00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:59.680
It's their It's their MacBook. I mean, I don't want it. It has no keyboard, no

00:08:57.760 --> 00:09:03.040
Wi-Fi, no Mag Safe. Don't worry, we're going to get to the part where we show

00:09:00.880 --> 00:09:08.240
you guys how if it was integrated from the start, this could be done. My pliers

00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:14.080
are stuck together now. I'm not going to break it. I guarantee it.

00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:19.399
Did I guarantee it or what? Apparently, we need to cut it now. Don't break it.

00:09:15.839 --> 00:09:19.399
Do break it.

00:09:22.800 --> 00:09:27.279
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. There we go. Now for

00:09:25.920 --> 00:09:32.560
the really fun part. We're gonna put some double-sided captain tape on our air jets, and I'm going to show you guys

00:09:30.560 --> 00:09:36.320
exactly how we're going to fix the thermals on this thing. The best part of

00:09:34.640 --> 00:09:40.399
these kinds of videos is that I hear from them often enough that I know

00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:44.240
people at Apple watch our channel. So, that means if they don't do anything

00:09:41.839 --> 00:09:48.080
about this, it's cuz they decided they don't care. That reminds me, this is a

00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:51.839
very unusual application for these air jets. Normally, you would use the copper

00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:56.800
spreader at the bottom, and you would put that directly against the dye or the

00:09:54.640 --> 00:10:02.080
chip that you're trying to cool, but in this case, there just isn't enough room

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:07.440
in this device for that to be possible. So, instead, it's being used as more

00:10:04.880 --> 00:10:10.720
like a crazy [snorts] lowprofile exhaust fan, cuz you wouldn't be able to get a

00:10:08.880 --> 00:10:16.000
traditional fan in here. And there are other advantages besides the thinness.

00:10:12.880 --> 00:10:19.200
These things generate over 1,700 pascals

00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:21.600
of static pressure. So, what that means

00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:27.040
is when you jam them in here, okay, these are little exhaust shrouds. Oh,

00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:30.880
boy. There we go.

00:10:27.040 --> 00:10:33.760
Ah, the intake here is able to draw air

00:10:30.880 --> 00:10:39.360
from tiny little gaps in the chassis over any incidental heat generating

00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:43.360
component like the power delivery or oh, I don't know, the nan flash for your

00:10:41.040 --> 00:10:48.079
storage. Suck it into the filtered intake and then push it out of the

00:10:45.680 --> 00:10:51.279
system. Oh, wait. There's more. Hold on. Okay, let's get the other two installed

00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:56.240
and I can show you guys the other little bit of magic that we've got going on

00:10:52.880 --> 00:10:58.240
here. Ah, yes. A replacement for that

00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:02.160
really excellent heat spreader we had before. You'll notice that our vapor

00:11:00.160 --> 00:11:06.240
chamber here is connected to a heat sink fin stack that is extremely dense. You

00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:12.160
would have no hope of pulling air through that with a conventional fan.

00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:14.640
But with one of these bad boys, you can

00:11:12.160 --> 00:11:18.800
position this right next to these. And we're going to use some little uh some

00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:23.440
little foamy bits to kind of guide our air flow. You can make it so that their

00:11:20.800 --> 00:11:26.720
intake is pulling air through there, saturating that air with heat, and

00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:33.519
throwing it out of the back of the system. That's the sound it makes, by the way. I'm just kidding. It's actually

00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:35.839
very quiet. You'll see later.

00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:39.920
And presto, Chenjo. All the cable management is done. I

00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:45.680
would have done this on camera, but it took a very long time. And also I had

00:11:42.959 --> 00:11:49.440
for help cuz it involved Y cables and like cutting some of the Y cables and we

00:11:47.920 --> 00:11:52.720
had to put these little daughterboard things over here instead of over here

00:11:51.040 --> 00:11:56.320
because otherwise there'd be a bulge on the bottom and we'd hate to have a bulge

00:11:54.240 --> 00:12:00.440
on our MacBook and be like, "Wow, MacBook, what you got in there?"

00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:05.399
Ow.

00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:14.200
Okay, let's get this trackpad reattached.

00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:20.800
Oh, what a weird thing that it won't turn on at all even though it does have

00:12:18.800 --> 00:12:24.720
battery without me plugging in a charger. That was that software setting

00:12:23.040 --> 00:12:28.673
that we enabled so that it would be able to turn on. Please turn on. Ah, yes.

00:12:26.959 --> 00:12:31.519
Good. [laughter] Yeah, it'll take about 3 minutes for it

00:12:30.959 --> 00:12:36.320
to turn on. 3 minutes. Forgot the keyboard doesn't work

00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:44.880
anymore. May not have a working keyboard on my MacBook, but I do have this. Boom.

00:12:41.040 --> 00:12:47.680
Wow. So seamless. This is a stupid phone

00:12:44.880 --> 00:12:53.120
that Reddit made me use. Yes. All right. This is our original

00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:57.600
that we were going to try to machine 30 hundredths of a millimeter off of, but

00:12:55.279 --> 00:13:01.120
then it turned out our equipment wasn't really set up for that. So here's the

00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:06.240
one that Freud did ahead of. Really? That little makes a difference? I can

00:13:02.880 --> 00:13:07.920
barely even catch my fingernail on this.

00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:13.519
Hey, I can hear the air jets going now, though. So, you just need about 400 microns of

00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:17.360
gap. 400th of a millimeter. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. The

00:13:15.040 --> 00:13:21.839
point of this is not to make room for the air jets. The point of this is to

00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:28.959
make room for the intakes of the air jets. They only need about 400 microns.

00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:32.000
So that's what 4 hundreds of a

00:13:28.959 --> 00:13:34.880
millimeter in order to get enough space

00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:39.680
that the air can go into those filtered intakes. And again, this is because the

00:13:36.880 --> 00:13:44.709
static pressure of these things is so flipping high. All right, let's put this

00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:44.709
on. [music]

00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:50.160
Do we need to take some off of the back cover? Yeah, but it has all the static pressure. It doesn't even need a proper

00:13:49.760 --> 00:13:54.160
outlet. Yeah, but look at look at this. I thought that's the whole point of the

00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:59.600
product. Oh, can't have that gap. Yeah. What is this? A Model Y?

00:13:57.920 --> 00:14:04.320
Wait, how flush is it supposed to be? Yeah. So, that's about right. Yeah,

00:14:01.040 --> 00:14:06.560
we're good. Cool. Nice. I can definitely

00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:10.000
hear the air jets working. Now, before you say it, incense can be perfectly

00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:14.040
manly. It's all in how you light it,

00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:24.720
huh? Woo! No moving parts, guys.

00:14:21.199 --> 00:14:26.560
Pretty cool, huh? So, we are not pulling

00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:30.560
as much from our intake as we might have thought we were. Where the devil are we

00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:35.920
pulling air into this thing then? Where is it drawing air in then? Feel like I'm

00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:38.880
conducting some kind of like uh fortune

00:14:35.920 --> 00:14:42.639
reading the Mac. Yes, your MacBook will not need Apple Care. Don't bother

00:14:40.959 --> 00:14:47.279
spending the extra money on it. It will live a long life. Now, it's time for the

00:14:44.800 --> 00:14:54.320
moment of truth. We ran Cinebench R23 on our three systems. a stock M2 MacBook

00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:57.360
Air, our modified M2 MacBook Air, and an

00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:59.279
M2 MacBook Pro. And in a stunning

00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:05.839
development, they all performed exactly the same. But we expected that. Yes,

00:15:02.800 --> 00:15:08.079
this flimsy piece of metal can allow the

00:15:05.839 --> 00:15:13.040
M2 to run at full performance as long as you only do a short run. But what

00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:16.320
happens if we do a 30 minute test? Never mind your 10-minute timer, Alex. This

00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:22.240
has only been running for 4 minutes and we can already see that our unmodified

00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:30.079
MacBook Air is down to just shy of 17 watts and our modified

00:15:25.920 --> 00:15:32.399
one is just shy of 20. [music]

00:15:30.079 --> 00:15:37.040
And more power means we must be getting more performance. Now what's interesting

00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:42.480
is both of these are running at over 100°. So they're clearly both thermally

00:15:40.160 --> 00:15:48.800
limited in a sense. Processor package proximity is 5° cooler

00:15:47.040 --> 00:15:52.240
on this one. Remember we talked about how these things have super high static

00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:57.680
pressure so they can pull air through little tiny gaps in things. That's a

00:15:55.440 --> 00:16:03.600
huge advantage. We're almost 8 minutes in and we're all the way down to 15.7

00:16:01.199 --> 00:16:06.560
watts here. still holding steady at 20 watts here, which I just realized I

00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:13.199
haven't given you guys an update on the MacBook Pro, is actually higher than the

00:16:09.680 --> 00:16:15.040
MacBook Pro, which is at 19 12. At the

00:16:13.199 --> 00:16:23.360
20 minute mark, we are all the way down to 14 1/2 watts on our unmodified air,

00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:25.839
19 watts on our modified air, and okay,

00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:28.959
20 watts on the MacBook Pro. Okay, so it turns out building cooling into the

00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:33.600
design of the product is a good thing, but there's no reason that something

00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:37.440
like this couldn't be integrated if Apple decided to do it. The control

00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:41.759
board, for example, could be integrated into the motherboard. And the for

00:16:39.920 --> 00:16:45.519
systems team, bless their hearts, even if it's a little bit desperate looking,

00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:49.360
actually calculated the remaining internal volume and even though the

00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:54.480
geometry doesn't work right now, figured out that yes, in fact, you could fit air

00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:58.720
jets in it if you were to uh want to do that. Hint, hint, wink, wink, nudge,

00:16:55.920 --> 00:17:04.079
nudge. Hi, Apple. There's more to the story than just power consumption and

00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:06.240
temperatures of the internal component.

00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:09.679
Okay, that's fine. Let's talk about the exterior [music]

00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:16.079
temperatures. Alex, you got thermal camera running already? Yeah. Stock MacBook Air hotspot 49.

00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:21.439
That's like burn you hot. Burn you over time hot. Let's not

00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:25.360
overblow this. And it's on like three keys. How about our four systems

00:17:23.600 --> 00:17:28.960
modified unit? Mhm. That's still really hot.

00:17:27.439 --> 00:17:33.840
Yeah, but it's like 48 I'd say within margin of error.

00:17:31.520 --> 00:17:38.480
What's interesting though is it has a bit of a different spread pattern to it.

00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:45.200
Way less if it's hot. Like there's only just a tiny little bit right over top of

00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:47.120
where the CPU is. Whereas on the not

00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:51.840
actually cooled one how much of the heat is just soaking into the chassis and

00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:54.240
then eventually dissipating. Yeah.

00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:58.799
Is that something that I would actually notice with my hands though? It is

00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:03.360
noticeable. Not much though.

00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:10.080
As for the MacBook Pro, I mean, it has cooling up. Final render

00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:11.440
done. There it is. 8,191 points, which

00:18:10.080 --> 00:18:16.559
it's actually kind of impressive when you consider how little of its power budget was still available to it because

00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:22.960
of thermal throttling. As for our modified one, 8,611

00:18:19.760 --> 00:18:26.000
points. So, instead of losing 600

00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:29.200
points, we lose only about two. As for

00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:31.039
our Pro, 8690. [music]

00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:36.320
So marginally faster than either machine. In conclusion then, not a practical DIY

00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:40.640
upgrade, but the technology is super cool. The fact that they can build this

00:18:38.080 --> 00:18:45.840
into something so slim [music] that they can move this kind of air with no moving

00:18:43.679 --> 00:18:50.000
parts in the cooler whatsoever just using PZO electrics. [music] I said it

00:18:47.760 --> 00:18:53.679
before and I'll say it again. I am very excited for the future of this

00:18:51.280 --> 00:18:59.440
technology and very excited to tell you about our sponsor, Cson Sonic. They make

00:18:56.160 --> 00:19:00.880
power supplies so great that frankly I'd

00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:05.440
take a bullet for them. That's only slightly hyperbole. I mean, look at the

00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:09.600
Prime TX1000. Its hybrid fan control system lets you keep your system quiet

00:19:07.280 --> 00:19:14.400
without creating a real life game of the floor is lava. And it's got an 80 plus

00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:19.600
platinum rating for supreme power efficiency. RGB frivolous cosmetics.

00:19:17.520 --> 00:19:23.280
What? Why would CIC add those things when they can put that money toward

00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:26.880
power? UNLIMITED

00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:30.960
POWER. [screaming] ALSO, IT'S backed by a 12-year warranty.

00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:34.960
And should you need to use that warranty, their customer support is

00:19:33.280 --> 00:19:39.520
excellent. So, if you want a reliable power supply for your next build or even

00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:42.640
an upgrade, start by checking out CIC at the link below. If you guys enjoyed this

00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:47.520
video, you might want to check out the much deeper look we took at this tech at

00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:52.480
Comp Computex 2023, where we even got to completely disassemble an airjet and

00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:57.520
show you guys how the inner workings work, or at least as much as we could

00:19:54.640 --> 00:20:00.320
see it. There's no moving parts, so it's basically magic.
