Heat Sink for Macbook Air
Posted: Tue Mar 31, 2009 8:38 pm
I have a 1st gen Macbook Air, I've owned it since the Air first came out, and it's been a great machine, but I'm now using for more than just a few hours at a time and the noise is really starting to get to me. For the first few hours it's as silent as I would hope for, but as the day wears on the fan slowly starts getting louder and louder. I think I've done about as much as I can do in software, I have javascript and flash turned off for the most part (via noscript) and I don't really do much except for write code in emacs and occasionally search the web.
Does anyone have any suggestions for cooling the machine? I've tried an active laptop cooler but it's even louder than the Air's fan. Do any of the passive cooler's work well enough?
Part of me wants to just buy a big block of aluminum to place the machine on.
