Well that 2008 laptop didn't come with that bottom cover heatsink mod, but even so, CPUs were far less efficient back then, but if it's really 100°C on the case, it's pretty obvious that the dust should be cleaned out, the thermal paste reapplied, and voilà!

They've done real work but these thermal pads have a downside of damaging the battery through higher temperatures.
The temperatures on the battery gas vent can reach values that are theoretically going to degrade it faster.

He'll do it eventually, he can only resist his innate drives for so long
Use this mod on your Air + a fan laptop stand thingy and you've got an actively cooled Mac Air with triple or more the thermal mass. Linus should do a video benchmarking that.
And then you have to carry that stand around diminishing the reason people buy macbook air in the first place
Still good to have it at home!
@@youtubeemail1549 for home buddy
@@Arthsinghnita but how would it affect when we bring it out of home? Dissipating the thermal across the cover plate and risking the battery temp when no laptop fan cooler around. Thermal pads use is a bit controversial for sure.
With thermal pads but risking the battery temp (i’m talking about out of home situation) or without thermal pads but the laptop would perform worse, choose your poison wisely.
This actually makes sense since on the go you'd be trying to preserve battery life anyway thus generating less heat, at home you'd be plugged in so having a fan to cool it all down isn't that big a deal.
"Don't burn your junk" into Manscaped promo. Linus is really taking care of my bits!
'35 degrees is an unreasonable ambient temperature'
**cries in Australian**
To be fair, Linus is too young (and Canadian) to remember that "the Australian sun is hot enough to fry an egg [on a can of housepaint]". Aussie CPU == 4-burner BBQ; get some pork with Apple sauce on your fork, boys!
There is a reason why engineers generally use 55°C as the ambient temperature for validation. It isn't that uncommon to reach 45°C in the shade summer and that's in the cooler southern states. And you have to consider the air being heated by the device itself, direct sunlight etc.
@@ecarter2747 to be fair, show me a house or a building that wouldn't have AC on 24/7 in Australia. Not taking your laptop outside to be microwaved by the sun is just common sense :P
@@SuperFlawless2010 Not everyone can afford that; the power/water used for air-conditioning (even for just a single room, let alone an entire house) is expensive, especially in rural areas; AC is something many of us try to use as little as possible. Not all of us live in the suburbs. :P

@@technoraver99 couldn't have put it better myself
yeah... nice product placement!
I may consider this when my warranty runs out, but so far I've not really missed the performance (Unity development for iOS is my most resource-heavy task at the moment). The fanless design was what drew me to this laptop first and it really is a crazy experience having so much power be completely silent.
Just completed this exact same mod to my 12-Inch MacBook (Early 2016) with amazing success. Idle temps down from 65c to 42c, stress testing 73c+ down to stable 59c. Used 0.5mm GELID Solutions GP Extreme Thermal Pad cut to a square to fit over the unbelievably tiny cpu heatsink, and I removed an equally sized square from the black thermal insulating tape from the back plate, to provide improved thermal conductivity. Fits together like a glove!
Thanks Linus!
Did it affected to your battery?
Linus, one correction, the IEC 60950-1 was withdrawn on December 20, 2020. It was replaced by IEC 62368-1. The limit is now 48°C at an ambient temperature of 25°C from chapter 9.
so, 3 degree more space for next year's model. We're gonna see a 5% performance boost for long duration jobs!
NEEEEERRRDDD!!
Erwin doesn't fuck around with his IEC codes, get it right Linus.
@@richmahogany1710 Yes, and an engineer.

As you have now been able to transfer heat to the exterior, you could now utilise a laptop stand with a built-in fan or maybe cooling gel pads on the underside (like the ones you get for migraine etc) for a short term solution.

“Unreasonable ambient temperature”, he says, as I’m sitting here in Melbourne, Australia, remembering all the days we’ve had over 40 C. There’s a few every summer.
No air conditioning in Australian buildings?
He means like in the office, not outside
@@Alex-us2vw When it gets to 40C and above anything other than refrigerated cooling becomes pretty much useless.
Also since everyone is using their coolers at the same time variable power cost goes up, brownouts occur to maintain stability of the grid, and power companies offer rebates if you cut power by 1/2.
You think that's bad come to S. Carolina USA, where it can be 115f aka 47C with 95% humidity making it feel like well over 120f aka 49C that if you are outside longer than 5 minutes will take your breath away, give you heatstroke, and a major sunburn without sunscreen, and then don't forget about the mosquitoes that can carry all kinds of nasty stuff. so when I'm outside in the summer doing yard work I'm covered in sunscreen, bug spray, wearing a brimmed hat, and a cool rag around my neck along with taking breaks every 20 minutes or so for water like crazy, as our grass can grow as high as your knees in just a couple of weeks with all the pop up thunderstorms we get as well.
Far as A/C from about March/April to around late as Oct. we have the A/C going in my house along with most if not all the ceiling fans, and even various floor fans to keep it cool even with blackout curtains.
I miss those hot Australian days, used to sit out in the yard on my plastic chair and soak up all those delicious rays, for some reason here in NZ the heat just burns you too fast even though it's no where near as hot. Hottest day this year was 36, and listening to everyone complain that they hate it when anything gets past 25 is quite funny
The ad afterwards..... “don’t burn your junk”. Than a Valentines Day ad🤣🤣🤣
Dennis you edited this great👍🏻👍🏻
Needs a follow up, with the Air sitting on a laptop cooler stand.
Maybe install a large insulation pad under the laptop after the mod? it might keep internal temp a bit higher, but you still can benefit from the bottom hood as a giant heatsink

Would be funnier if it was woven out of the excess thermal pads.
Just need to water cool the M1 chip and see how much power it really has 😭
Underrated comment
It’s not throttling. So there would probably be no difference.
@Bronze HD I’m referring to the original comment above regarding the idea of water cooling it. If it’s not throttling and is able to maintain its clock speed using thermal pads, then no. Because it’s not throttling. Continuing to cool it further will not reap benefits in terms of any form of performance. Unless it were to be over clocked and therefore needed to be cooled further to maintain that clock speed continuously.
If we can overclock it then yes water-cooling it will be a great idea to see how far we can get
There wouldn't be much improvement tho
Because there's a power limit in hardware side
I just finished running Cinebench after the mod and my 10 minute score went from 7067 to 7687. The bottom panel got a bit toasty but it's hardly a burn hazard. I can understand Apple's reluctance to making them this way from the factory, because they didn't want people complaining that their notebooks run too hot, not realizing that the panel is acting like a heat sink.
Your battery will die of temperature
@@selenix No worse than using your laptop on a warm summer day. Much better than most cellphones when on a charger while being used. The batteries can take it occasionally without much fuss.
And chances are the heat dissipates before it even spreads low enough and wide enough to affect the air around the batteries.
@@thequantaleaper There are Lithium polymer batteries and they are dying at 35°C. Your "Custom heatsink" will not only cool the chip, but also heat the air inside (they are no way to go out). Hot air and contact with HOT "Custom heatsink" is the worst that you can do to the batteries. I hope you understand my bad english.
What about on top of a cooling pad? Does it improve even more?
@@eduardoavila646 Eh, maybe, but you'll reach a point of diminishing returns. I wouldn't spend money on a cooling pad just for this if you've already done the mod. You can only improve the heat transfer just so much.
Put it on top of a portable laptop stand with built in fans to cool the back of the laptop, then it'll be a real cool heat sink.
Linus: "As counterintuitive as that might sound, it has air right in the name"
Apple: "that's what's called a pro gamer move"
I see what you did there
I see
"Don't burn your junk" solid life advice i say
I've done that--don't ask how. But it was no big deal. You get over it in a few days and forget it even happened.
I’m definitely gonna wait for a follow up video of Linus modding the iPad Pro M1
I think I found the solution: covers!
My Lenovo Yoga runs hot occasionally, besides being a bit too spiky to hold (eeh modern design); so I forked out 40 bucks for a fake leather cover, which works beautifully for both problems.
Users already go crazy for covers for Apple products, it would be a slam dunk.
Then when you need performance, you put it on a $499 iCooler dock. Perfection!
that was the weirdest start of a video.. i thought i ended up in the middle xD

I have to say, I'd be super curious how this mod would perform when the laptop is put on top of one of those "laptop cooling Mats" with the fans in em. Given the thermal properties that aluminium holds, and having an active cooling solution added on top of this mod might yield some interesting results.
At that point you could just get the pro
Utkarsh Aryan idk where you live.. but the pair together costs less than 20$ near my area.. so i dont think i can get a pro..
@@utkarsharyan I'm speaking from curiosity only, if the thermal pads alone can make that much of a difference. I'd be curious to see what adding any form of active cooling solution to it would yield for results. Linus has done far dumber and costly things "for science" before after all lol.
I'd like to see the results from this too. If you can pay an air price for a pro performance, might be cool to see.
@@utkarsharyan
You could but then there is the cost of getting the dust out of the system. If you can get better performance for longer than the pro I do not see why you should add a point of failure and a source of dust to the system. When all you need is some thermal pads and an external fan.
Some of us never take their laptop of the desk, sometimes even cooling pad, so this would be a way for them.
Also, pads have their own thermal ratings, some are 8x more conductive than others, so configuration and fine-tuning for your use case is possible.
I would like to see a part 2 to this video while using a cooling pad to move air under the chassis to dispensate the heat if possible.
so it's like:
"worse performance or roasted sausage"
Trick's on you: I don't use a laptop on my lap.

Joshua Cheng no one should, it’s so uncomfortable, and scary that the laptop will just slide off.

0:20 Tehcnically it's "passively convecting heat away", not "passively radiating heat away". It is true that a tiny amount of heat is lost due to radiation, i.e. the surface of the macbook does reject some amount of heat as photons (this is what IR cameras pick up on to sense temperature), but the vast majority of heat rejected is due to passive convection, not radiation.
And before someone tries to argue this, I will also point out that "radiators" as most people know them are actually water-to-air heat exchangers, which chiefly utilize forced (or passive if there are no fans) convection. So calling them "radiators" is actually a very poor name. Just look at the fourth sentence in the wikipedia entry for Radiator: "Despite the name, most radiators transfer the bulk of their heat via convection instead of thermal radiation."
Yes I am an engineer and I am great at parties. Jk don't be silly I don't go to parties.
good point, maybe LTT should do a m1 MacBook Air temp test in a vacuum chamber, to see if there is a temperature difference, just for the LOLs XD, and see how much is actually radiated out XD.
Do you work for apple,
Better yet are you jimmy nutrition?
@@ahmedifhaam2669 since its made from aluminum it will probably not make a big difference if any. Aluminum is a great insulant, it does barely radiate any heat to the air around it.
not convecting conducting😂
@@bigd5899 aluminium is opposite of insulant, otherwise it wouldn't be used to make heatsinks. Heat radiation can be improved slightly by black coating (which is why passive radiators are almost universally black)
Have you tried running the long benchmark on your lap? This should actually work out fine, because you become a huuge water cooler for the notebook. This trick worked for me back when the 17" MBPro still existed (which came with a 90W power brick which it could easily overwhelm depending on the load scenario), so it should work a whole lot better for a 35W machine. Just have it already sitting on your lap when the load starts, so heat can be transferred away right from the beginning.
I use my macair as a desktop, upside down with the bottom opened (with an external monitor) when I need more power. It improves the performance significantly .
I feel honored to be here to see the video that’s starts with “but”
"There's no fan in the Macbook Air"
Well that sounds weird.
Fan, air!
Yeah Ikr
Who needs a fan when you can have a laptop that doubles as an electric leg heater?
@@handlemonium or room heater.
@@OhSoTiredMan *czcams.com/video/1WLIm4XLPAE/video.html*
This is actually a pretty decent hack for people who tend to spend a lot of time with their laptop docked at home. All you'd need is a quiet laptop cooling pad with a fan, found commonly anywhere online, and you'd have an actively cooled M1 Air during long encoding sessions. The fact that the pad cools the laptop from the bottom perfectly matches the heat transfer to the bottom case cover.
Perfect use for one of those laptop coolers with the fans in it.

I think there are many things that they did not take into account, such as dissipating the heat through the chassis, causing other components that are sensitive to heat to heat up, such as the battery.

What’s the thickness of the thermal pads? Thinking of putting a little in my old 2014 MacBook Air to help it live a bit longer.
There are a couple of discussion groups over on MacRumors detailing specifically this mod which followed on from the same mod on the Macbook Air 2020 with Intel processor. I modded my i5 Air last year and saw a good improvement and have been running the Mod on my M1 air for a few weeks now and it's been stellar. My Cinebench R23 scores are consistently around 7750 - 7780.
I have the base model with 8/7 cores which does not have the black thermal foam pad that Linus removed, there's some speculation that it was only fitted to the 8/8 core to slightly improve the the 8/8 core score over the base model.
Linus: loses $20k in GME. Also Linus: this is fine
i’m sure he makes that in a week or two so it’s so skin off his back
Some people lost a million or more. And linus makes good money than those who yolod. Doesn't mean this is any less commendable. Good job Linus.

Honestly I'm really happy that apple went ARM. Aside from keeping intel on their toes, I hope that it will drive more app devcelopers to start supporing ARM instruction sets directly; hopefully it will even carry over to Windows on ARM.
Microsoft have tried for a long time with getting windows to work on ARM. But intel have taken them to court and without the hardware to "force" users to go to ARM when there are better x86 processors out there. it's just been really hard
There is a huge existing software library for Raspberry Pi. If manufacturers made ARM laptops that ran Linux, the problem would be solved.
@@JontesTechTips and with that Intel went from lazy but cool to super uncool
@@JontesTechTips Yeah, back then Microsoft force users to only use apps from it’s own app store on Windows 8 RT. The lacks of professional app in Microsoft Store is also the problem. And UWP software were only able to distribute on Microsoft Store only.
@Cyro1 yeah if they could find some way to do what Apple did and implement the x86 memory schema on windows that would be great, but I could see issues with compatibility with current software.
"The story is probably bogus, because we couldn't find any actual first party reporting on it" - it's published the Lancet. What else do you want?

@@caedusc7437 exactly. Perhaps LMG has never heard of The Lancet 🤷♂️
Very simple solution, put the cpu behind the screen and let it cool down with vertical surface as a huge heat sink
What’s funny is that even with the Air thermal throttling it still outperforms most thin and light Windows notebooks in the same price class.
What are you comparing it to, ultrabooks?
It is pretty impressive. And I'm not an apple guy by any means. But I look forward to what they do next.. like pc chips that aren't power/thermal limited? Apple seems like they're getting back to being revolutionary instead of evolutionary. Good on them. I still don't think I'll be buying anything of theirs but it's exciting to see
Nothing funny about it. They just finally ditched x86 and Microsoft failed on that front pretty miserably so far.

Would have liked to see how much the mod improves performance with the use of a laptop cooler since it now pulls air over the bottom of the MacBook

I'm not sure if just subtracting the room temperature and adding 35°C will really be exact for this. I could imagine that the heat think cools less under warmer temperatures because the temperature difference is lower which results in worse heatflow.
