Video tests ‘MacBook Air thermal and CPU execution’ with improved cooling design
Another video from Linus Tech Tips today reveals insight into the MacBook Air's thermal design and how different various changes can influence execution and warmth dispersal. The outcomes show an expansion in execution, however not exactly as you would anticipate.
The video begins by clarifying Apple's to some degree odd design choice. Rather than setting the fan directly close to the CPU, where most of the warmth is produced, Apple set the fan on the furthest side of the MacBook Air. This leaves the MacBook Air CPU with around 10W of CPU cooling limit, the video clarifies.
In the video, a wide range of cooling tests are performed with the 2020 MacBook Air: incorporating a PC remain with fan, a fan with no base, new thermal compound, thermal on chassis, and water cooling. By alter...
