Only if the input and the output of the fan are piped together. Apple was designing stuff that considered the airflow THROUGH THE CASE back with the first Macintosh, the 128K. You could even get a silly looking chimney that used convection to pull even more air through the case with no other modifications. All Macs with air cooling, not just the laptops, are designed with internal airflow in mind and always have been. You do not have a little fan blowing directly on the CPU (from where? to where?) and expect it to do anything. I don't know who this fellow is, but next he can take the top off his cylinder head and then be upset the engine doesn't work. From first appearances he is an absolute bozo.

> From first appearances he is an absolute bozo. He's pretty much the main figurehead of the right to repair movement from the consumer electronics side of things. He has run his own independent repair shop doing board level repairs for years in NYC. https://www.fighttorepair.org/ https://www.fighttorepair.org/ is him.

  Then from second appearances he has other things to recommend him. As far as laptop cooling, if he isn't joking or trolling about expecting the laptop cooling to work with half the ducting removed, he's a bozo about that.
