All MacBooky For the last generations, they were plagued by cooling problems, which could not always cope with the not very efficient processors from Intel and MacBook became outrageously loud from time to time, even during seemingly banal tasksoneThe new M1 Macs are much better in this regard, but they only have a small number of users. If you have an older MacBook Pro and the noise of the fans is driving you crazy, maybe there is a solution for you…

Cooling assistance MacBooku Pro can take many forms. From using a cooling pad, through re-fitting and modifying the cooling system, to using water cooling, which you may know from powerful gaming computers. This last option was chosen by one foreign owner of a 15″ MacBookon the Pro, which could no longer stand the tireless hum of two integrated fans, which made themselves really noticeable under load (and even when not under load).

As you can see in the pictures in the gallery, the modification and installation of water cooling seems like a DIY affair at first glance, but the results in practice show how well the better cooling in older MacBook Pros works and how much these machines are limited by insufficient factory cooling. The circuit was built using blocks for mining graphics cards from Aliexpress, which were connected to a regular pump, reservoir and vertical radiator from Zalman dating back to 2005. All this was supplemented with thermal pads that were glued to both the chips themselves and other temperature-sensitive components.onenty and motherboard elements. MacBook Pro Of course, this "configuration" did not include a bottom cover panel, so the laptop stood directly on the cooling blocks.
The results are very interesting. First of all, according to the author, the noise problem has improved rapidly, which was almost imperceptible after this modification. Better cooling has also loosened the hands of the hardware inside a bit, and for example, the Cinebench CPU benchmark showed about 15% higher performance compared to the regular model. Once again, it has been shown that the relationship between cooling and performanceonem notebook is always a compromise, if you want the best of both worlds you have to look elsewhere (bigger). However, the new M1 Macs have made a huge leap forward in this regard, and we can expect this trend to continue with upcoming generations of chips.
