Okay, so I was wondering. I have the m1 macbook pro so I can't do this, or it won't accomplish the purpose, but I'm wondering, what if you set the air on the icepack and run cinebench? Would it sustain performance for longer? Now of course, I know I'm going to get replies like (it's bad for the computer, condensation and stuff), but as far as I know, the m1 macbook air has no vents and no fan to suck that in, and as long as you don't have it on there for too long all the time, the heatsink and cpu getting too cold shouldn't be a problem. So if anyone would like and has the m1 macbook air, run cinebench 10 min without icepack, then run it later with icepack, and let's see if there's a difference.
Got a tip for us?

Can someone perform this experiment on their m1 macbook air?

I feel certain a LinusTechTips video on this topic is coming soon... I wanna see them mod a liquid cooler onto the M1 MBA.
Yes, that'll ruin it. No, my curiosity doesn't care. 😜

Not sure if this is of interest but it’s something that I played with a few weeks ago.

Ian: Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.
