For a school experiment, I aim to reduce the temperature of my MacBook as much as possible.
I’m interested in exploring effective cooling methods.
Linus has a video demonstrating a watercooling approach.
What challenges do you face with condensation during this process?
Will the amount of condensation increase as the laptop warms up?
How soon can I expect condensation to become a concern?
If you have any additional ideas for cooling a computer, please share them.
Thanks.

Set the MacBook on a thin microfibre cloth, placing it over a firm block of dry ice. I tried this with my 2009 MacBook Pro and the outcome was quite funny. Don’t reveal the details.
Edit: Consider directing a fan during the test.

Condensation happens just when temperatures fall under normal levels.
