As soon as something demanding occurs, the heat rises, the processor throttles down, and you see your computer struggle to achieve what its hardware is capable of.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-243956\"\/><br \/><iframe title=\"Unlocking The MacBook Neo To Set World Records\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-HwLLc_iWrA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"Unlocking The MacBook Neo To Set World Records\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-HwLLc_iWrA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><br \/>Salem Techsperts found that the MacBook Neo was throttling under stress and decided to push it to the brink. This required him to completely remove the logic board from the chassis and design a unique cooling system around the chip from the ground up. This \u2018cooling sandwich\u2019 integrated active and passive components in a compact, functional container.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal\" data-aawp-product-asin=\"B0GR6FHGXX\" data-aawp-product-id=\"236024\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"tec02e-20\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Apple 2026 MacBook Neo 13-inch Laptop with A18 Pro chip  Built for AI and Apple Intelligence Liquid Retina Display 8GB Unified Memory 256GB SSD Storage 1080p FaceTime HD Camera  Indigo\">\n<div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31wjBg5rSiL._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"Apple 2026 MacBook Neo 13-inch Laptop with A18 Pro chip: Built for AI and Apple Intelligence, Liquid...\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n<p>            Apple 2026 MacBook Neo 13-inch Laptop with A18 Pro chip: Built for AI and Apple Intelligence, Liquid&#8230;        <\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n<ul>\n<li>HELLO, MACBOOK NEO \u2014 Ready for whatever your day brings, MacBook Neo flies through everyday tasks and apps.

However, he kept the battery connected the entire time because detaching it would have caused the processor to slow down dramatically. Once the board was adequately separated, he could work on either side of the A18 chip without concern for the rest of the laptop.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.techeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/21103542\/apple-macbook-neo-cooling-mod-1.jpg\" alt=\"Apple MacBook Neo Cooling Mod\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\"\/><br \/>Next, the chip surface had to be readied for modding, which included eliminating some of Apple\u2019s design decisions that did not fit with his objectives. He removed the stability pads Apple had installed around the CPU to keep it regulated, as they were essentially suffocating the chip\u2019s ability to breathe, and replaced them with thermal putty to keep everything warm and safe from electrical shocks. He also used copper shims to fill in the small gaps between the chip and the board.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.techeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/21103548\/apple-macbook-neo-cooling-mod-2.jpg\" alt=\"Apple MacBook Neo Cooling Mod\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\"\/><br \/>Moving on to the top side of the sandwich, he applied some PTM 7950 phase-change thermal material on the chip, which transforms into a liquid at high temperatures, resulting in a highly efficient heat-escape path for the chip. He inserted a Peltier cooler on the bottom of the sandwich, which when activated transfers heat from one surface to another. The frozen side adheres to the chip, while the hot side\u2014well, you can see why this is a delicate process.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.techeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/21103554\/apple-macbook-neo-cooling-mod-3.jpg\" alt=\"Apple MacBook Neo Cooling Mod\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\"\/><br \/>On the hot side, he utilized water cooling, which is flowing liquid through a block to remove heat. Keeping things simple was critical, so he picked a custom air blower to bring in cold air from outside while maintaining ventilation. These two ways combined to create the optimum cooling storm, and he was able to fit the logic board snugly within the stacked cooler while maintaining the laptop\u2019s original design.<br \/><span>[Source]<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
