We FIXED Apple’s New MacBook Pro

The Screw that Goes into a Screw is Screwception

Actually, it's a rule, it's a screw that goes into a screw, and it's screwception. No, no, wonder we couldn't figure that one out. Holy crap, can you imagine if we had tried to do this without the project? Matt, we would have been so screwed. Wow, that's really obnoxious. Like, you have to have this whole thing on what is this that goes on this little peg here? So you sort of get in position and give her a push. Fun, so unnecessary. Everything about this is unnecessary. It could just sit on there and you could just screw it in. Oh, we probably shouldn't do that, quite yet. I want to see it fan spin. Uh-oh, you don't think that we like need these to you? I doubt it, but let's put them in anyway, like it's not hard.

Oh, goodness, wow, that was stressful. That moment when the delay is just a moment too long for comfort, so you, you need screws in the MacBook for it to turn on. We know that now, what the hell Apple? Why? Yeah, okay, maybe it was just unhappy because it tried to resume from sleep and actually it was like unplugged for a while. Uh-hold on, let me log in here, okay, trackpad's working. Shall we get some after results? Yes, find out if our operation was worth the stress and time.

So not cool, get it, because it's about the MacBook Pro. All right, so we're looking for 1083, 1083 is what we had before. Okay, didn't we get like 1600 in the Aces? Yeah, but that was with Lily Matron's unfair yeah, it doesn't totally count. Fans haven't even ramped up yet, are they working? Great question. 1068 okay, that's within margin of error. Should we just hit it again and sure, no, it's ramping. I think yeah, yeah, it's ramping really slowly. Interesting does it normally take that long to ramp up? Yeah, i think they're pretty on the go by the end of the Cinebench run.

I wonder if the liquid metal is helping us with that 1086 so exactly the same. So okay, performance the same but now let's try the longer test normally use the f keys but wait, you don't like the touch bar i really hate it, try some more. The Blender BMW test took 6 minutes and 11 seconds and with the liquid metal, it was six minutes and seven seconds so basically the same. So a big fat waste of time and the Classroom took 22 minutes and 58 seconds stock it took 19 minutes and 26 seconds with liquid metal no that's actually pretty good that's like 13 faster or something like that that's actually like a pretty big improvement.

So there was a point to doing this yeah, and then how loud was it towards the end of that second test there like spooky quiet almost well that's fantastic so once again liquid metal saves the day. And once again we are not recommending that you try this at home this actually comes in the box of the liquid metal we don't recommend doing this because the risk of damaging your hardware during the disassembly, application of the liquid metal and reassembly is quite high. Not to mention that we have definitely voided the warranty on this machine in the process. And the uh the benefit is maybe 10 to 15 faster renders which is actually pretty sick but over time liquid metal does actually need to be periodically reapplied. And that's not a great user experience.

No no it's not, i'm just really sad that we can't put blowing metrons on the bottom. Yeah me too. We'd have to like actually cut holes in it because of the whole case extrusion stuff and stuff mass drop is back with another deal this time on the Sennheiser open-backed HD58x Jubilee headphones. These were tuned by Axel Grell of Sennheiser and Mass Drop based on feedback from the community. They feature new 150 ohm drivers, and a colorway inspired by the HD 580s they're clear fast with a dynamic sound profile and they've got a glossy black headband elliptical earcups and replaceable soft velour ear pads.

They've got a detachable six-foot cable, and you can get yours today at the link in the video description. So thanks for watching guys, if you disliked this video then you probably work at Apple but if you liked it and you like our fix for the MacBook Pro and its thermal issues you can hit that like button, get subscribed and maybe consider checking out where to buy the stuff we featured at the link below so well maybe what we'll have a MacBook down there we'll have some thermal grizzly down there and all of that. Oh it's gonna be fun, let's do this thing

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso the basic premise of today's cooling experiments with alex i super don't know why this is here is that the macbook pro 2018 does a pretty uh subpar job of keeping its core i9 cpu cool if you opted for the tricked out core i9 model well we think we can fix that using the same cooling principles as we were able to fix the razer phone and its throttling while gaming with that is to say liquid metal cooling but then there's also like a radiator and a reservoir and some laptop stands and some water blocks so i have no idea what the sh is going on today why don't we all find out together cablemod's configurator now includes a customizable rgb backplate that can enhance the look of your gpus and ssds it's compatible with rsync rgb fusion mystic light sync or cable mods own kit find out more at the link below you pulled out all the stops like there's two ifixit kits yeah what are we doing oh i actually just had a difficult time getting it open so i thought that i might have like stripped one of the screws but it's actually just the peas and not the teas so i was just an idiot so step one of any cooling project is wasn't me rip open the device you're trying to cool so i will take you up on one of these kits these things are kind of nerve-wracking to open because they're how much is this one five grand yeah five brandish like it looks so much easier and i fix it's video how do they do that are you free yes there we go beautiful you can really tell what gives it the rigidity though yeah that's pretty nice can i make a computer case out of a solid block of aluminum arches how many bits would you go through so you want to know my really bad idea that probably won't work sure you want to water cool it yeah i really don't know if this is a very good idea i don't even see how the heat pipe comes off to be perfectly honest with you usually it's more apparent you have to take the whole board off and the screws are on the other side okay so what are we taking off um trackpad first i think you have to take the trackpad out yeah why how are we keeping track of all this i've been placing them in here i will be back so lower are these ones track pad upper are these ones um track pad clippy chums also there's t4s and t5s in here that's fine i'll just draw the fans on there there is that pretty self-explanatory yep it's got a bigger head uh where'd those two come out of it's right here and right here okay what was the purpose of this screw being shorter there's plenty of room for it to go further if it needed to oh they're just a different screw yeah different screw i think you're drunk i don't know how you're not getting it with the t4 t3 do all these have to come out oh my god yeah right my god is this yet this is yet another different screw holy ball sack so that's top left and there's more screws underneath that oh wow so this little thing hooks on a little thing here then goes down why you do this perfection linus i think this whole thing is a mistake that's what i think now we just kind of wanted to go back together and work i think we're close um i'm starting to think we need to do away with the grand plans of water cooling and whatever this is oh but it would be so fun fun fun yes are you having fun how many types of screws does it take to get to the fun 16 i think we're just gonna have to peel off the oh adhesive must be a ribbon under there yeah you for real yeah look there's a ribbon right here i just missed it cause it's super small there we go now we can probably lift it up this way that's it this is a royal pain in the ass i actually feel legitimately very bad for people whose job is to fix macbooks all day that's their cooling solution yep no wonder the thing thermal throttle how much does it even weigh i actually want to know okay never mind why i have this thing for your drugs fifty three or four ish grams by contrast a desktop processor would get a cooling solution that weighs in the neighborhood of 1.2 kilos that's a pretty excessive cooler but yeah okay that's true i don't even think liquid metal is gonna solve this like no it'll help like that looks like some not great thermal paste well we have to try i mean we don't have to try but like we're letting us tech picks we have to try yeah so it's conformal coating time then uh oh wow that's a lot can i help pick some of that up or yeah let's just spread that around no components are dying here today you can say with a straight face that they're not dying because they're dead already or we might want to get the heat gun out to have that dry a bit faster though well look at it this way mg chemicals says that you're supposed to do three coats but we'll probably be fine with one that's really not how painting things on works that moment when people are watching a video on youtube and they are literally watching us watch paint dry so this is it liquid metal time yeah do you want to do it sure i don't have a liquid metal hell yeah brother i'm gonna prime it do you want to give that mistake last week why are you doing that over the board you have a lot of time for this oh there's like a ball with it oh that's kind of sketch yeah there we go okay we're good oh there's some there we should get that i think he's a touch screw i don't think so all right let me just try spreading nice actually that's maybe even too much wow we should do our liquid metal application i bet i bet someone on the internet would be into it like am i really a fan of asmr but i could probably get into that good for asmr you don't want to put on too much liquid metal because then if it seeps out which is an especially big problem for something like a laptop which might get stored on its side in your bag if it seeps out it might get on other stuff and short it out because it's metal i think the metal asmr would be a really great time what the actual okay and we're done i really want to hear an asmr cover of chopped cement this is such a surprisingly stressful operation yeah i was expecting it to be more like a normal laptop yeah all of the other laptops that i've taken apart which has been like and like five minutes later you're done i'd like to think you go a little more carefully than but pretty much it's no wonder rossman didn't think the imac pro would be a big deal like compared to tooling around with these all the time it's nothing so we are now liquid metaled and now we have to put this back together yeah do you remember where the screws go there was one that went on the bottom right so we knew well that was on the top it was just really hidden it's possible that there's like this is similar to no i'm like quite sure okay so there's nothing that goes in on the bottom not without permission anyway right you can put all the connectors back on yeah don't go gently is that like a dylan thomas reference who's dylan thomas poet you don't get to quote a poem if you don't know who it's pi that's like actually a rule it's a screw that goes into a screw it's screwception no no wonder we couldn't figure that one out holy crap can you imagine if we had tried to do this without the project matt we would have been so screwed wow that's really obnoxious like you have to have this whole thing on what is this that goes on this little peg here so you sort of get in position and give her a push fun so unnecessary everything about this is unnecessary it could just sit on there and you could just screw it in oh we probably shouldn't do that quite yet i want to see it fan spin uh-oh you don't think that we like need these to you i doubt it but let's put them in anyway like it's not hard oh goodness wow that was stressful that moment when the delay is just a moment too long for comfort so you you need screws in the macbook for it to turn on we know that now what the hell apple why yeah okay maybe it was just unhappy because it tried to resume from sleep and actually it was like unplugged for a while uh hold on let me let me try and log in here okay trackpad's working shall we get some after results yes find out if our operation was worth the stress and time so not cool
