if you cut between then the gpu heat would go to right side of the pipe and fan
and cpu to the left
im working oh fitting custom made heatsinks
i think separating gpu and cpu Might improve
If you do the GPU will overheat.

explanation?

This is probably a better explanation than I could type here. The bottom line is you have to pull the heat away from the CPU and you cannot do that without a fan or two.
If you were to down clock it a great deal you might get away with it. If you really interested in cooling it better look around and see if you can find some fans (not the motor) that can move more CFM of air.
i think you misunderstood my idea and the whole concept
the ideas is that cpu and gpu are attached to one single heatsink pipe which gets cooled by two separate coolers
i dont know why its done but simple logic tells me that if the cpu and gpu had separate heat sinks it would be more cooling efficient because
each of the chips would be separately cooled
in some cases cpu might ger really hot and in some it might be gpu but they wont have to spread its heat to each other.
think of a metal stick which gets heated on both sides
of course the question is
will it make any difference at all
maybe all the heat from gpu goes to right side
and all the heat from cpu goes to left side
and maybe this connection of 10 sm of metal they share in terms of Thermal conductivity is so insignificant that its just wont make any difference
well will see)
How are you going to get the new heat pipe your going to build to integrate with the second rad?
lets just say there is a way and if it will give anyt improvements i will show how its done
until then its just theories and blah blah
i dont like yapping abouth something that isnt done )![]()

when a single fan fails the machine hits hight temps anywayI wouldn't bother if it were me. I'm sure that scenario was tested, or at least considered, during the design stages. In fact, now that I recall, the 13" cMBP had a single fan, but the new Retina has 2. I suspect they added a second fan for both cooling and redundancy.
The way you described, each "zone" would be cooled by a single fan, and completely isolated from each other. What happens if the fan that's cooling the GPU failed? No active cooling at all to the GPU. Same for the CPU.
The way it is now, there are redundant fans for cooling both CPU and GPU. If a fan fails, it wouldn't be as bad (and one of the other reasons why I preferred the 15" cMBP over its 13" sibling.) I'm a big fan of redundancy when it comes to tech. (no pun intended.)
im using a heatsink from another machine that with a little modification will fitI think it's best find a higher CFM fan..cutting as soldiering should be based on more than I think. Where are you going to route the new heat pipe?
when a single fan fails the machine hits hight temps anyway
i saw it in real time scenario
laps were burned
if all scenarios were considered and calculated why didn't it include a simple polishing procedure of the surface of the heat sink? every single degree is on a count and they didn't bother for such a simple thing in a machine worth more then 2000$

the heat pipe is the concern not the heat sink itself
It is a shame that none of the major manufacturers will step up and build a proper cooling system for their laptop.
It's marginal to save money. The days of building quality for quality's sake seem to be long gone![]()

In the end it comes down to simple economies of scale. By increasing the cost of each unit by spending more time, money, and resources on doing what is proposed within this thread, it flies in the face of that principal, and it's something that any publicly traded company would have a very hard time justifying to their shareholders.
Oh man I'd love to see the numbers for Apple's overheating MacBooks. Just to crush this thread out of existence.
You can't get a truly accurate estimate. Lots of people believe that their computer being hot is natural and are unconcerned.
Oh so people want the computer to not just work perfectly well, but also at an arbitrary temperature *they're* mentally comfortable with. Got it.

I'm not saying that. The question to ask is "this computer is meant to be 100% utilized for what purpose?" No computer is designed to run at maximum capacity for all, or even most of the time. If your workload demands 100% utilization from a MBP most of the time, you should have bought a computer that can handle that workload at something less, such as 75% of capacity.
You're missing the point of my posts. I'm not suggesting that one should never reapply thermal paste or take other measures to reduce temps if they so choose. The falsehood that I'm challenging is the suggestion that ALL MacBook Pros are overheating or running too hot and ALL users have a problem with heat. That is patently false.
My comments are completely on-topic, even if you happen to disagree with them. I have never stated "how the heatsinks work great", and you have no idea what I've seen or haven't seen.
While your computer may run too hot for you, it clearly does not for the majority of Mac users. You can read all you want about it. I'm not preventing anyone from reading or posting. If you don't like my posts, don't read them. I have just as much a right to post as anyone in this thread, so no, I will not "give it a rest", especially as long as misinformation is being posted that could mislead others, especially new Mac users.
If the title of this thread was something like "MPB Heatsink design and suggested improvements" I probably wouldn't have posted at all in this thread. The fact that the thread title alone is false, along with the false premise that there is a heat problem for all Mac users, is what prompted me to respond.
