Well putting a shim between the die and the heat sink would be necessary so if that is too thick it could still destroy the die and would be way less effective. The drill he uses is very old but very well adjustable if you know what you're doing. It is in no way comparable to just winging it with a cordless drill.

[@benjaminmiddaugh2729]

There is such a thing a supercooled water (or at least water that has been modified a bit to stay liquid at and below its normal freezing point). If you add salt, that lowers the freezing point. add in crushed ice, and you get water significantly colder than it would normally freeze at. This is, by the way, how the 0 degree point on the Fahrenheit scale was determined. All that said, though, I think Linus just meant really cold water.

A thicker bottom plate for better heat spread over the plate and integrating the CPU block into the bottom plate, could maybe make the fan redundant. The higher mass would help with burst heat and they could install a bottom plate temperature probe, to monitor the temp when at high load over a long time.

@@Billy123bobzzz I mean, that goes beyond the point of my comment, but I'm sure he would love to drill holes through customer boards like LTT drilled at that heatsink. But given I work with former Apple employees, deal with broken Macs all day, and see the same repetitive nonsense all day that Louis deals with when it comes to hardware failures, I'd rather watch his channel and see him fix something than trust whatever Apple says. If you've worked with Apple before through a dedicated support contract, you'll know that they bend over backwards until you leave their limited perfect support window. Try to report issues like T2 Firmware bugs that impact actual machines in production. For example, T2 chips bricking themselves from OS updates. Or Command + Option + R not working as Apple documentation stated, because of a two year old firmware bug they have yet to fix. Or the shoddy graphics drivers they included in Catalina that now just cause random programs to crash out (as of 10.15.5...). It'll take forever to get fixed. Their hardware will keep breaking. And yet companies just keep buying the hardware. Heck this week I had a Mac with a glued in swollen battery that puffed up to more than double the thickness of the Mac. Also caused the bottom cover to blow off and break the screws. My urge to drop kick the Mac to Cupertino in a bent up mess before showing Apple had to be retrained big time. Some day Apple's genius choice is going to get someone hurt. Or set a courier's truck on fire. Now the difference between Louis and Apple is a big one when it comes to designing components. But I can agree with him on a few things much like how I can agree on some design choices Apple makes. But please continue to take posts out of context and troll around.
