DIY MacBook cooler




"I love my MacBook Air, but we all know the struggle with heat during long workloads. I designed this design vertical stand with integrated aluminum heatsinks to create a passive 'cooling bridge' for the chassis with just 10 euros. ​The results: On my M4 Air (with thermal pad mod), I scored +300 points in Cinebench 2026 multithread compared to just leaving it on the desk. ​It's 100% silent and uses two 100*69*36 mm heatsinks I found for dirty cheap online (aliexpress or Amazon for fast shipping). If you're looking for a way to keep your Air cool without adding fan noise with a touch of design, this is it!"
