Could you point me to any resources on the mod for the 2020? I also have an i5 MBA and am interested in this. Google gave me trash results!

- mikeyouse 4y agoHaven't done it myself, but here's a Reddit thread where someone walks through it: https://www.reddit.com/r/macbookpro/comments/ud73ve/thermal_pad_mod_on_the_2020_intel_macbook_pro/ https://www.reddit.com/r/macbookpro/comments/ud73ve/thermal_...
- mrtksn 4y agoHere are a few videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6e_JGTbAg2U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6e_JGTbAg2U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIB6npHBL2M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIB6npHBL2M However I did not follow a tutorial, I wasn't planning to mod that one but since I had leftover thermal pad, decided to give it a try. Remember how YouTubers made a big deal about the "heat sink is not connected to a fan"? Well, they simply didn't know what they are talking about. The air flows from that heatsink even if the fan is at the other end of the laptop. Which means, you should be careful not to block the airflow when doing the mod. I put a thermal pad that is about half of the size of the heatsink.
